In this episode, Travis interviews Jess about her journey of helping people find wholeness and healing in their lives. As an artist, Jess has a great gift of seeing possibility and beauty in places others may not. Her deep compassion and empathy for others, coupled with her hopeful and creative idealism, make her really skilled in helping people find hope in the places in their lives and stories where they've all but abandoned it.

She's a relationship coach (Marriage and Enneagram and Trauma certified) and you can learn more HERE about becoming a client.

Jess also shares about a program she created called Guided PACE. Description: It's a supportive, trauma informed, self-awareness and resilience building tool. With PACE, you will practice becoming aware of patterns, connection, then engage in your unique purpose. You can get into the driver seat of your experience and build resilience. This program can be completed individually, in coaching or within a group.

The two talk about better understanding trauma and discuss how our bodies hold stress. They talk about developing more contemplative practices to better commune with God in the everyday. They also share honestly about their own struggles when it comes to relating to each other and navigating their own relationship struggles.
