Episode quotes

"What does it mean to be nice and how does this impact your body? As a human, but especially as a sensitive. I'm just going to give it all to you in one sentence, maintaining your niceness is the path to disease. Let's talk about this. So first of all, why are you nice? Why is it that you feel you have to always be nice and what is nice?"

"God does not ask us to be nice. God does not ask us to repress emotions, opinions, perceptions, and experiences. God does ask us to step into other people's shoes and to be kind. But he also, and I personally connect with God as a, he as a little side note. But. God also, you know, asks us to have healthy boundaries."

"So you can be respectful. You can be kind, you can be loving, you can be giving, you can be conscientious. You can be thoughtful. You can be aware, you can be intelligent. All these things you can be without being nice. Without repressing. Now you may have many conversations that are uncomfortable because within our beautiful country here, we are quite diverse in our view set."

"I of course experienced the world differently than most people. And as a result of this experience, a lot of rejection around any sort of expression of my experience or my needs, I received the message and owned the message and absorbed the message that I was too much and that I was drama and that I was selfish."

"Why is it that the nicest piece, but people are always the ones that seem to get sick. Why is that rarely, do you see the cranky, bitchy bastardly individuals actually die young?"

Quotes:

“When we navigate big transformational seasons in life, we’re being asked to release old patterns and to step into something that represents who we want to be. This is really a return. A return back to our original selves, how we came into this world and who we are ultimately supposed to be.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni

“We’re supposed to live in our bodies, not our minds. Our minds are accessories while our body is our 3D reality.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni

“To become our authentic selves we need to be amongst nature's frequencies. I believe that modern life has cut us off from the energy presence that helps us know who we truly are. Immersing yourself in nature is a great way to regain this connection.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni

Episode 37 Season 2

Living outside of your true nature, living inauthentically, is the cause of dis-ease and chronic blocks. Jessi breaks this down and shares from her own personal and professional experience what works and what doesn’t. You’ll also get a glimpse into the up-and-coming release of the Authentic Calm Method. You will step away with options to uncover and return to your authentic rhythm. The place where healing on all levels naturally occurs, where you can ultimately move through life with ease.

1. What it means to live authenticity & what manifests when we reject our natural and true rhythm. [00:06:34]
2. How we can reframe the conditioning we have received throughout life so that we can return to a place of authenticity. [00:15:06]
3. Meditative prompt with Jessi to initiate your authentic rhythm. [00:43:00]

“Authenticity is the act of living as you are created to be. It's that simple. It's a continuous journey of uncovering all that you are as much as you can in this lifetime.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni

“Most of us move through life in a manner that matches what we've been told we should do. One of the biggest journeys we can go on is to learn and understand how we would navigate life with no conditioning.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni

“You have to create boundaries including intentionally choosing an inner circle of people around you that won’t influence you towards a life that's not in alignment with who you're meant to be. You can usually feel when people are a good fit or not by how they make you feel.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni
