Have you ever felt like your emotions were too much to handle? Or found yourself stuck in patterns that disconnect you from your natural wisdom and cyclical nature?
Our emotions aren't just random feelings to be managed or suppressed—they're sophisticated messengers carrying vital information about our experience. Yet many of us have learned to override these signals, creating a profound disconnection from our intuitive knowing and cyclical wisdom.
In this week's episode of Moon & Fire, I'm thrilled to be in conversation with Jessy Pearson Cheney, who helps women process stored emotions and regulate their nervous systems so they can break free from unwanted patterns and reconnect with their inner wisdom.
What I find especially powerful about Jessy's approach is her understanding that healing doesn't have to be painful or time-consuming. There are simple, effective ways to process emotions without reliving trauma. As she beautifully puts it, "You don't have to relive your pain to release it."
When we carry unprocessed emotional experiences, our nervous systems remain stuck in patterns that override our natural cycles. This creates a constant state of sympathetic dominance—our stress response stays activated, disrupting our hormonal balance and pulling us away from our body's inherent rhythms.
Through our conversation, Jessy shares how emotional processing creates space for us to return to our natural state—one where we can flow with our cyclical nature rather than fighting against it. She offers practical tools that help us recognize when we're responding to old triggers rather than present reality, allowing us to release what no longer serves us.
This integration of emotional healing and cyclical living represents a powerful medicine for women seeking to reclaim their intuitive magic. When we clear the emotional static, we can hear the whispers of our inner knowing with greater clarity.
Join us for this illuminating conversation where we explore:
How emotional healing supports cyclical living
The connection between your nervous system and your natural rhythms
Practical tools for processing emotions without reliving trauma
How clearing emotional blocks creates space for intuitive wisdom
This episode offers a beautiful complement to our ongoing exploration of living in harmony with our sacred cycles.
May you hear the wisdom in your emotions
May you release what no longer serves your becoming
May you return to the natural rhythm of your being
May you trust the healing that flows through you
Remember the sacred cycles. Reclaim your radiant fire. Unleash your intuitive magic.

key quotes
"Your body tries to tell you something. It's just, like, emails from your body saying, 'Hey, by the way, I don't know if you realize this, but we're clocking the fact that there's terror happening right now.'"
"Emotions are just data. They're not problems to solve but wisdom to integrate."
"You're fighting against your body who does not want you to do this. Because your nervous system is now familiar with being in trauma and is familiar with coping in these ways."
"Trauma is when something's too fast, too soon, too much, and we're alone and feel unsupported. And so in that moment, your brain and your body's like, 'I can't be here right now.'"
"When you give yourself permission to feel things in your body, you create space where it's safe for you to sit there and realize that it usually takes a few seconds to maybe minutes to feel that and let it just be gone."
"Think of it like having a bunch of computer tabs open... As you close those tabs out, your nervous system can reset and can regulate."
"It's that last piece of the stress cycle where if you don't complete it, that's where the trouble is. There's no trouble of having a response to a stressor. The trouble is if you don't complete that stressor and reset."
"Your body takes it a step further because then it's going to be like, 'Well, I still feel stressed out and we're in this together, so I'm going to start creating some dysfunction in your body because that energy has to go somewhere.'"
"The healing doesn't have to be as bad or as painful or as hard or as long as your brain is telling you it's going to be."
"I don't think we're broken. If your body is in fight-flight, that's a good sign that you have a functional nervous system. You're supposed to go into that and pump all these stress hormones into your system to prepare you to do what you need to do to survive."
