Joni
Welcome to the Trust Talk Sessions. I’m your host, Joni Advent Maher, and it’s my pleasure to welcome back Jessica Ricchetti to be here with us today. And Jessica was first with me, I guess it’s almost a year ago at this point, and her episode is number 81 the Healing Power of Sisterhood. Jessica is a Priestess and she is a sacred space holder and an Energy Alchemist supporting heartful women leaders who are desiring to share their magic with the world in soul aligned ways and to rise in the most expansive and embodied layers of their divine feminine leadership. So welcome Jessica. So happy to have you.
Jessica: Thank you. It’s so wonderful to be back with you, Joni.
Joni
Mm, yeah. I’m just as, as I hear your voice, I’m getting this vision. I remember from your episode, you spoke about an energy clearing ritual you did in the shower each day, and somehow that is what flashed into my awareness. So if you want to hear that, you can listen to Jessica’s episode and get that and lots of wisdom. But I would love to dive in with you on this topic of trust and just see what is true for you and how this is woven into your journey and your work.
Jessica
Mm, thank you. I’m actually really excited to talk about trust because it’s sort of my core intention word of my life. You know, we have some new moon intentions or yearly words and trust is one of those words that is an absolute core of my entire journey and my entire life. So I’m really excited to sit with that with you today. When I was thinking about trust in preparation for our time together today, I was thinking about how throughout my whole life and my whole journey, you know, it’s been one of forgetting and remembering. I really, really forgot who I was for decades. And I remember being a child and connected to spirit and to inner guidance and to the Divine Feminine even though I didn’t know that language then. And then it was a quite terrible forgetting, right? Like it was a disconnect of myself.
And such a loss of who I was. And in the remembering process, in the coming back to myself, in the figuring out what was true in my life, trust was just this anchor that was there. And it was this way of remembering that when we come back, whether it is from coming back of decades of forgetting who we are or coming back in this simple moment, those messages from the Divine Feminine, from our Sacred Beingness are so subtle, right? Like they’re those subtle listenings, those subtle messages from ancestors or the whispers of spirit. And we have to trust, we have to trust that those tiny nuggets, those subconscious knowings, those little pieces are meant for us. They’re meant for us to take action. They are these anchor points for us to return to. And in a world where there is so much information that feels untrustworthy or even, you know, not, I had for so long this inability to trust my own inner wisdom. I was told by others that it was wrong or that I was weird or that it didn’t fit in somehow. And so trust has just been this, this constant. Right? Like the only thing I had in moments was trust. The only thing that brought me back to my, to myself and to my remembering was trust.
Joni
Hmm. And it seems to me that there is this, I’m going to say intimacy with yourself that is somehow woven together with that sense of trust. As you said, the external world was not mirroring or affirming that what you knew to be true was true. So, it seems like there was this weaving of deeper connection to yourself. Does that feel true?,
Jessica
Mm, yes, absolutely. Absolutely. I feel like that is the entire path to intimacy with myself, right. Is just, it’s trusting those ways of being. You even mentioned the shower ritual at the beginning of our talk today and just saying that when I’m in my shower and I’m having this entire vision around what will clear me and reset me, that that vision is true that those ways that are just soul inspired and come from nowhere else other than my own being that I can trust that, that I can trust own self and, and truth. Isn’t that all that we have to trust? I’m not sure in my own life that there is much else that can be trusted other than the truth of being the simplicity of love, the ways that rise up from within myself.
Joni
Mmm, very powerful. And in your work with women, do you see this thread? Do you see them engaged in that process for themselves as well?
Jessica
Absolutely. I think that based on the ways of the world that we live in, that there is so much question when we’re sort of like dismantling systems and our lives that no longer serve us, where we believe that there’s somehow a right way and a wrong way or the old way. And the new way or what is the right answer or what should I do or what path should I take and what I stand for in my own life and what I share in the spaces that I hold for and with women are, you can we trust in the alchemy of everything? Can we trust in the sacredness of everything that there is no wrong path, that there is no wrong choice, there is no wrong way of being. When we look at everything as medicine and everything is alchemy, we can just trust that we can’t go wrong, right? Like there’s no way to go wrong when we trust.
Joni: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And whatever form comes up next, we can meet it.
Jessica
Mm Hmm And isn’t trust one of those things that feels really difficult? Like it’s really difficult to trust ourselves or to trust our intuition or to trust that our voice matters. I feel like that’s another really big piece that I feel with the women that I work with is that regardless of how much we are in our power or how deep we are in our own journey, there are these layers of questioning our self or fear or doubt or uncertainty. And so trust is like a constant reminder. It’s a constant medicine that we get to sit with so that we’re not falling into those ways of the old ways of being, of listening to the fear and the uncertainty and the doubt and letting those take over, but rather leaning more deeply into the trust and allowing that to be the place which we lead from.
Joni
Yes. And I do believe that as we meet each of those layers and we deepen in our trust, it’s like the clearing out of the, of whatever the trash clearing out of the, of the old, so it can be composted. And so each assertion of will around choosing to trust yet again is is like the, it’s like when you take the file and you put it in your little trash basket on your computer and then you get to empty it and it goes pshshsh.
Jessica
Yes. And, and also trusting that, right? Trusting that when something is meant to leave us, it leaves us or when we’re meant to remember something, we will remember it when we’re meant to be with something, we will be with it. And trusting that I’m trusting in the impermanence and the uncertainty.
Joni
Yes. And I do think the times we’re in now in particular are highlighting that in illuminating that that we, we may from the mind have an idea of what we’ll be doing next week or next month but, but we don’t know.
Jessica: Right.
Joni: But we can still trust.
Jessica
Yes. And so what are those anchors that we trust in our lives, in these times where things are so uncertain and really in any time, you know, what are those, those key points in our lives that we lean into to trust. Because when so much is going on around us, it’s not that trust it doesn’t exist. It’s that we have to anchor into it and find it and seek it within. And so what are those points within that we lean into to trust?
Joni: Yes. And that’s the, the inquiry and the invitation, I would say.
Jessica: Absolutely.
Joni
So I would, you have been very generous in offering a gift for one of our fortunate and blessed listeners, who will be winning that today. Can you tell us about this gift?
Jessica
Yes. So I’m offering an energy alchemy session and you know, each of these are unique because each one of us is unique and not only are each one of us unique, but each moment that we are in is unique. And so we will gather together, we will enter into sacred space virtually with one another, and we will be in the alchemy of what is and be in the alchemy of what arises, whether that’s through breathwork or ritual or energy medicine. We will be in the alchemy together.
Joni
Mmm. So it sounds like a beautiful healing, transformational potential there for, for someone to win. And is that something that if, if someone didn’t win but they were interested that you offer?
Jessica
Yes, I actually just reopened that with COVID. The context that we’re in I’m noticing that there are lots of us that need support, just need an extra boost and returning home to ourselves and returning to those places within ourselves that allow us to trust more deeply.
Joni
Yes. Wonderful. And remind me, or in share with our listeners what your website is and we’ll include it in the show notes, but just for you to share with them how they can reach you or follow you.
Jessica
Yes. Great. So my web sacred space is Jessicaricchetti.com and I won’t spell it since you’ll put it in the notes and yes, it’s just a place where women leaders can gather and deepen into soulful leadership in their own unique ways.
Joni: Mm, beautiful work, Jessica.
Jessica: Thank you.
Joni
Yeah. So is there, as we’re getting ready to bring this to a close, is there anything else that you can feel that feels important to share? Or name?
Jessica
Hmm, yeah, I’m feeling like re-anchoring into something that I spoke briefly to a few moments ago around trusting everything as medicine and holding everything as sacred. And how we can go through our lives and, and be in so much inquiry and question and challenge and sometimes there can be this feeling of like swaying off of the path or you know, taking steps backward or whatever the belief is around not being in the quote unquote right direction. And so the invitation that I’d love to leave everyone with is to sink more deeply into every single moment as sacred, every single experience as medicine, so that when something is challenging or like, why have I, why am I bringing this up again? You know, why am I going through the same challenge again? And again? Can we receive that as a deep blessing and deep medicine?
Joni: Yes. And to trust that.
Jessica
Yes, yes. To trust that it not only is on purpose and it’s on right timing and it’s absolutely medicinal.
Joni
Hmm. I, I’m so glad you highlighted that because that was a biggie for me when you were sharing it. So thank you for taking the time to be with us again, Jessica.
Jessica
Thank you for having me back, Joni. I love spending time with you in any of these sacred ways.
