Consciously Unconscious – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, Jess spills the tea on her solo travel diaries, sharing stories from over 35 countries that cracked her wide open; self-discovery, personal growth, and a whole lot of epic life lessons included. From backpacking through Patagonia (where she spent 24 hours alone in the wilderness questioning all her life choices) to exploring Asia, Europe, Africa, Sri Lanka, and beyond, she breaks down how travel can challenge you, heal you, and connect you to the world in ways you never expected. But heads up - travel won’t fix you or fill some soul-sized void. It’s just one of the greatest invitations to experience life fully, for its own sake. Tune in for heart-opening moments, and a reminder that the real adventure isn’t just about where you go, it’s how you grow.

New year, new…chart? This week, we’re diving headfirst into Human Design as Amanda breaks down Jessa’s chart and explains how this self-discovery tool can be your personal cheat code for living a more balanced, productive, and aligned life.We get into the nitty-gritty of energy types; Amanda’s a Projector, Jessa’s a Generator (aka the ultimate match for bouncing ideas and vibes off each other) and we explore how understanding your unique design can shift the way you make decisions, avoid burnout, and work with your natural flow instead of against it.Whether you’re all-in on the woo or think astrological charts sound like cosmic bs, the placebo effect is very real, and hey, if it makes you more self-aware and intentional, that’s a win in our book.

In Part One of our relationship saga, we dive into the beautifully messy world of love, intimacy, and keeping your own vibe intact. From middle school boyfriends to karmic connections to the balancing act of monogamy, we’re unpacking what it means to stay you while navigating the ups and downs of partnership in many forms. Amanda dishes on the marriage playbook, and Jessa gets real on rediscovering herself. More to unpack, but let’s just start here…

In this episode, we tumble headfirst into the cosmic rollercoaster of our Saturn Returns—a wild astrological ride that dares us to face everything we crave… and everything that scares the sh*t out of us. But what happens when desire and fear collide? Are they really just two sides of the same coin? We dig into the non-duality of these emotions, unpacking how society can lead us astray about what we should want, what we should fear, and how both are just clever traps of attachment and control, all while encouraging a deep dive into the infinite world of introspection. Amanda spills the tea on her fears around success and financial stability, while Jessa gets real about relationships and the need to make her voice heard. How do you walk the tightrope between wanting it all and fearing the fallout?

We recorded this episode in an actual graveyard—because why the fck not get spooky for Friday the 13th? We cover mysteries of the mind; from the strange history of Friday the 13th to superstitions, past lives, hypnosis, and subconscious phenomena. We’re cracking open the door to the supernatural while Jessa’s feeling delusional thanks to the graveyard vibes, and Amanda’s unbothered, sipping our red wine Bev of the Week. Mixing death with wit - because even the afterlife can take a joke.

Why do we love to adorn ourselves? In this episode, we unravel the fascinating history of bodily bling, from ancient jewelry to modern tattoos. We dish on the psychology behind self-expression and the tightrope walk between personal empowerment and caving to societal pressures. Jessa spills all about getting traditionally tattooed by monks in Thailand, while Amanda shares her experience with school uniforms and fashion limitations. All this while we’re sipping on our bev of the week- bloody marys that are as adorned as we are; with toppings for days.

This week, we’re spiraling…in the best way possible. As we enter 2025, we dive deep into the idea that everything exists in cycles: history, nature, your biology, and beyond. From the repetitive patterns of the universe to the ones that sneak into our personal lives, we ask: is it possible to live outside of cycles? Do they always complete themselves?

We’re also spilling on our New Year’s resolutions (spoiler: more trust, less control, and a whole lot of spontaneity), recapping Amanda meeting Jessa’s parents, and getting jazzed about NYE.

Laugh, reflect, and maybe even trust the process a little more with us this week. It’s a fresh start, but like we now know, what goes around comes around.

In this episode, we’re getting existential (again) and asking the age-old question: is the grass really greener, or are we just perpetually stuck thinking the next thing will finally make us happy? Spoiler: happiness isn’t hiding behind a promotion, a soulmate, or a trip across the world—it’s right here in the messy, chaotic, but beautiful now.

Jessa kicks things off by breaking down the ego—what it is, how it works, and YES why it’s  convincing us that happiness is somewhere else, but why it’s useful to participate. We explore how this mindset is so common in your 20s (and let’s be real, your 30s, 40s, and beyond) as we grapple with career choices, relationships, and the pressure to figure it all out.

We unpack why society keeps us stuck in “next thing” thinking and dive into tools and philosophies from Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, and The Defining Decade to help ground us in the present. And hey, sometimes you do need to wander down the street and stand on someone else’s lawn …. not to claim it as your own, but to experience it for what it is and realize that your grass is perfectly lovely, if only you’d take the time to water it.

To wrap it up, Amanda breaks down how perception is completely relative…..other people’s opinions of you? Just their own projections. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of comparison, self-doubt, or future-focused anxiety, this episode is for you.
