S8E3 Life of a Spiritual Nomad: Healing the Self and the Soul with Jessica Lipka

Jessica Lipka on Radical Self-Love, Healing, and Reclaiming Life Through Reiki Host Wes Coons welcomes Reiki healer Jessica Lipka of the Reiki Wellness and Meditation Center to discuss her three-year healing journey after reaching nearly 400 pounds, struggling to walk, and experiencing severe iron deficiency that required oncologist testing and infusions. Jessica shares that a pivotal moment came from seeing iPhone photos where her grandbaby would remember her confined to bed or a chair, prompting her to pursue weight-loss surgery, practice radical accountability, and rebuild trust in herself ("first message, yes"). She describes how stepping into her power has shifted her marriage and household dynamics with husband Jason, who has also grown from initially attending Reiki as a date night to teaching and seeing clients. They discuss choosing oneself through small thoughts and daily decisions, using unconditional love and Reiki, and embracing new experiences like learning to ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Jessica shares booking details at rwmcva.com and 757-491-6500, including distant healing.     00:00 Welcome and Introductions 01:08 Jessica Healing Journey Begins 02:19 Breaking the Denial Cycle 03:39 The Turning Point 05:20 Family Dynamics Shift 07:14 Health Scare and Surgery 08:16 Healers Need Healing Too 11:02 Trusting Intuition Again 13:25 New Adventures and Harley Life 15:00 What Reiki Really Means 16:47 Unlearning Old Patterns 17:09 Abby the Healer Dog 19:01 Off Grid Mountain Build 19:31 Healing and Weight Goals 20:44 Neck Tattoo Banter 21:14 Reiki Strengthens Marriage 24:25 Choosing Yourself Advice 29:01 Mirror Truth and Cravings 30:23 Book a Healing Session 31:48 Beach Rabbits and Farewell
