Deep Unwind Kitchen: Baking Cinnamon Buns 🥣

Daily Unwind: Rewire Your Anxious Nervous System in Under 30 Minutes 🧠 

What if you could teach your nervous system a new way to respond to anxiety?

Our subconscious minds are extraordinary learning machines. Through repetition, they develop habits and automatic responses—including the habit of becoming increasingly activated when we encounter uncertainty or stress. But the same learning ability that reinforces anxiety can also help us develop a new response.

In this Deep Unwind, Jessica guides you through a gentle hypnosis exercise designed to help you relax your muscles even when your n...

Deep Unwind: Finding Your Oasis of Calm 🌴 

What if calm isn't somewhere you have to escape to, but a place within you... that you can return to, tend, and strengthen?

In this Daily Unwind, we travel into the desert toward a cool, green oasis: palm trees moving in the breeze, clear water fed by an underground spring, smooth stones warmed by the sun. As the body settles and the mind softens, the oasis becomes something more than a place. It becomes a reminder of the natural spring of wellbeing within you—and the more often you re...

Deep Unwind: Practicing Gratitude to Stay Centered 🙏 

When the world feels uncertain, gratitude can bring us back to the place where our own life is actually happening: inside our bodies, inside our nervous systems, and within our own spheres of influence. In this Deep Unwind, we settle into a deeply relaxed state and explore gratitude as a way of grounding ourselves in what is here, what is meaningful, and what we love.  

After a gentle hypnotic unwind, I share some of the things I’m grateful for right now: a dining room table that brings people...

Deep Unwind Library: Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse 📖 

Relax into one of the most beloved spiritual novels of the twentieth century: Siddhartha.

We’ll begin with some fascinating background on Hermann Hesse—his unusual childhood connection to India, his own restless search for spiritual understanding, and the remarkable second life his work found among the counterculture of the 1960s. At the heart of Siddhartha is a question that still feels contemporary: How do you know something for yourself? 

Then we’ll relax... deeply... as we enter Hesse’s world: We meet young Siddhartha—ad...

Daily Unwind: Unplug and Recharge 🔌 

We spend so much of our lives plugged in—to phones, computers, the news, social media--as we vibrate with the constant buzz of the digital world. In this Daily Unwind, we power it all down and return to quieter, more powerful, sources of energy.

We’ll begin by relaxing deeply into the body, allowing all that digital energy to drain away. Then, we recharge by connecting with the more natural sources of energy all around us: the air, the earth, the sun, good food, and the warmth and energy we exchange...

Deep Unwind: Relax Into Change… A Little at a Time 🍁 

Change rarely happens all at once. A whisper of cool air appears in the late-summer breeze. A single maple leaf turns yellow. One small shift creates the conditions for another, until almost imperceptibly, something new has emerged.  

In this Deep Unwind, Jessica explores the gentle, incremental nature of change and the remarkable ways your body is  adapting from moment to moment. As you settle beneath a warm blanket, you'll watch a maple tree outside your window respond to the changing season—first with tiny flecks of yellow...

Daily Unwind: Create a Healthy Trigger 👌 

We hear a lot about triggers—the words, events, sensations and experiences that can create powerful emotional responses. But what if you could intentionally create a trigger for something you want to feel?

In this Daily Unwind, Jessica guides you into a deeply relaxed state and introduces a simple practice for creating a positive association between a physical gesture and a feeling of peace. 

After relaxing deeply, you'll pair that peaceful state with a simple gesture: gently touching the tip of your index finger to your thumb while s...

Deep Unwind: Relax Into the Sweetness of Late Summer 🌽 

Late Summer has a rhythm all its own—a time when gardens are full, sunlight turns golden, sweet foods ripen, and the expansive energy of summer begins to settle.

Inspired by the fifth season of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this Deep Unwind takes you into a late-summer garden at the end of a warm day. As you relax more and more deeply, you'll wander among tall rows of sweet corn, tightly layered cabbages, climbing green beans, heavy butternut squash and apple trees bending beneath ripening fruit. Along the wa...

Daily Unwind: Come Back to Your Senses 👂

Your senses offer six different channels into the experience of being alive.

In this Daily Unwind, Jessica leads you through a simple sensory practice inspired by an exercise she learned at New York City's School of Practical Philosophy. You'll move through touch, hearing, sight, smell and taste, before turning your awareness inward to notice the physical and emotional sensations arising inside your body.

This is an Unwind to return to again and again. With practice, your senses can become more vivid and accessible, creating little moments thr...

Deep Unwind: Practicing Self Acceptance 💚

What if you accept yourself ... as you are?

In this Deep Unwind, you'll follow a quiet path through the woods, at the edge of a moonlit lake, to a hammock suspended between two maple trees. Wrapped in a warm blanket beneath the stars, you'll settle deeper and deeper as the waves whisper against the shore.

Beginning with the physical body, you'll practice simply being present with each part of yourself, from your face... all the way down to your feet. Then you'll turn toward your emotional world—experiencing feeli...

Deep Unwind: A Sensory Scan 🖐️ 

Your senses are always listening.

Every moment of every day, your skin receives the gentle touch of air. Your ears welcome sounds from near and far. Your eyes, your nose, your mouth, and every part of your body quietly gather information about the world around you—often without asking for your attention at all.

In this Deep Unwind, you'll discover how simply becoming aware of your senses can gently guide your body into profound relaxation. Inspired by a meditation practice Jessica first learned in New York City, this immersiv...

Deep Unwind Library: Summer by Edith Wharton 📖 

Time to relax with a great book!

In this Deep Unwind, you'll settle into deep relaxation before being transported to the quiet hills of western Massachusetts through the exquisite prose of Edith Wharton's Summer. Set on a shimmering lake, this  passage captures the beauty, anticipation, and emotional intensity of a romantic evening between Charity Royall and Lucius Harney.

As sunlight fades across the water, boats drift beneath overhanging willows, fireworks bloom across the night sky, and Wharton's richly descriptive language invites you to slow down, breathe deepl...

Daily Unwind: You Run Your Life 🧭

Life rarely unfolds exactly as we hope. We can't control every circumstance, every conversation, or every unexpected turn. But there is one place where your influence is profound: within your own mind, body, and nervous system.

In this Daily Unwind, you'll discover how relaxation creates a little more space between what happens to you and how you respond. As your body settles and your awareness deepens, you'll reconnect with your own inner "control room"—a place where calm, clarity, and thoughtful choices become more available.
