Stilettos on the Ground Lily Belcak

This week's episode is with Jessica Rector - a former Stilettos on the Ground guest. Jessica's last episode focused on her expertise as a pelvic floor physical therapist, but now she's back to speak about something completely different. In 2020, Jessica made a shift to pursue psychedelic healing - which put very simply is inducing a state of elevated consciousness in order to either heal past traumas or access higher versions of the self.

It's no secret that the word "psychedelic" has a big stigma attached to it - and this is something Jessica addresses head on during this conversation. She also discusses the body of research that demonstrates the positive effects of psychedelic healing on the brain and the many ways an elevated state of consciousness can be achieved - using anything from breath work, cannabis, plant medicines, or man made substances. The common theme is that Jessica and her clients approach this healing with proper intention and purpose. This is a fascinating interview and it's truly amazing to see how much Jessica has been able to help her clients with this work.

Brenna Ruiz is back on the podcast to chat about her latest venture, What About Mamas? After Brenna became a mom to a beautiful little boy, she realized that resources dedicated to moms are seriously lacking. So much becomes about the baby after they're born, while moms are often putting their own self care last. Brenna is filling a big void with What About Mamas - she features tons of women's health experts on her blog and she gets pretty real about her own journey as a new mom on social media. Brenna's mission to make sure women are getting the information they deserve to know is so needed in today's world. To say that What About Mamas is refreshing is an understatement. All of the moms out there are sure to leave hearing from Brenna.
