The Holistic Hippie Podcast
Welcome to The Holistic Hippie Podcast — a space for honest conversations about awakening, healing, and becoming fully human in a rapidly changing world.
Hosted by Jessi — holistic nutritionist, yoga teacher and teacher trainer, Reiki practitioner, past-life regressionist, and lifelong student of consciousness — this podcast explores the intersection of spirituality, philosophy, and personal transformation. Blending ancient yogic wisdom with modern self-development, each episode invites listeners into deeper self-inquiry, meaningful growth, and embodied living.
This is not a surface-level wellness show. Here, spirituality meets real life. Expect conversations on consciousness, shadow work, purpose, healing, relationships, nervous system regulation, intuitive development, and the courage it takes to evolve. Jessi shares openly from her own lived experiences — including her journey through physical and mental health challenges — offering grounded insight, practical tools, and compassionate encouragement along the way.
Rooted in yoga philosophy and holistic wellness principles, the podcast is equal parts motivational, reflective, and soul-expanding. Whether through solo reflections, teachings, or deep conversations, each episode is an invitation to slow down, question conditioning, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and participate in conscious growth alongside a like-hearted community.
If you’re ready to move beyond survival, reclaim responsibility for your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, and explore what it truly means to live with presence and purpose — you’re in the right place.

Episode 18 - Reflections on Happiness vs. Peace
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I share my present reflections on the stage of growth that I am currently shifting into, while observing the many stages of growth & development. I discuss the concept of chasing happiness vs. inner peace and I introduce the 5 Klesha's, which are in Yoga Philosophy as the 5 obstacles on our path that create suffering; Ignorance, Egoism, Attachment, Aversion, and Fear of Death.
This episode is an open contemplation on what it means to take responsibility for our emotions and the concept of allowing emotions to pass before making decisions or assigning too much importance to our emotions. This is an episode that invites you to consider your own inner emotional landscape and explore with me what it might mean to choose inner peace over the constant pursuit of happiness.
