Beginning Again
Starting over can feel humbling, especially in a world obsessed with numbers, metrics, and external markers of success. Even with years of wisdom and spiritual practice, that quiet whisper of self-doubt can still creep in: “You are not enough.” Yet, beneath that noise exists a gentler, truer voice that asks us to return to what is real, what is grounded, and what is already whole within us. This is the space where beginning again becomes not a failure, but a calling back to ourselves.
In navigating new platforms, new communities, or new chapters, we often meet two inner voices: the one that holds us back and the one that nudges us forward. They exist side by side like storm clouds and sunlight, both present and both shaping us. But when we remember that our goodness exists independent of performance, numbers, or external validation, we step into a more honest, undivided way of living. And from that place, beginning again becomes not something to fear, but something to embrace.
Remembering Your Worth Beyond the Numbers
Welcome. I’m Jess, and this space is where I share the practices, stories, and resources that have renewed my courage and clarity throughout my life in wellness, leadership, and community building. After two decades co-founding and guiding Modo Yoga from a single idea to a global community, I stepped into a new chapter rooted in reflection, creativity, and honest storytelling. Here, I hope to offer both meaningful insights and lighthearted pieces, from wellness lessons to easy kitchen experiments and everything in between.
My own path into wellness began long before adulthood, shaped by a hidden spinal disability that taught me resilience, curiosity, and a deep desire to understand healing from the inside out. That journey led me across disciplines, from anatomy and yoga therapy to Buddhist studies and somatics, and eventually into a life of teaching, leading, creating, and supporting others. In this space, I hope to gather all those threads and share the lessons, questions, and discoveries that come from a life lived wearing many hats. I’m grateful you are here.
