The Stories

The CEO who carried a whole company and came home to her body.

Tonya is not just any CEO. She's the founder, owner and CEO of TechnologyMatch, a company that has been featured in Forbes magazine.

And she arrived the way a lot of powerful women arrive: running on empty... Nothing eaten all day, calendar over-packed for weeks, literally carrying a business (and family) on her back. "Normally I can take it in stride," she said. "It's the pressure and the stress." It was just all too much. But in that first session she landed- "fully in my body for the first time all day."

"When I finally got up, my whole body was trembling with energy. I almost felt like I was in a plant medicine journey space."

Without being told, she noticed that this work keeps working for you after you get off the mat. She had chosen to show up for herself, moved some big things inside, and it started showing up in her outer world.

Unexpected "side benefits" started happening in her business- with this new alignment an undeniable flow came streaming in. She easily found and hired a COO to take some of the burden. She said-

"Things feel like they're just in flow. Like the COO?! I am SO glad I didn't hire one before I did this work, because she is the perfect one. I feel like I called in the perfect one!"

With her body now safe to receive, opportunities started arriving with ease and grace. The calendar stayed full, yes, but the feeling & capacity changed completely- "Everything feels easy. It doesn't feel hard."

The deeper she went inside, the simpler it got on the outside. "I'm safe to let go. Oh my gosh! I'm safe to be in the body!" Then came the session where she claimed it all back out loud- "I'm claiming my energy. I'm claiming my body back. I'm claiming myself!"

As it tends to do, life then tested that claim. It turned the pressure way up. She found herself in back to back software launches, weeks of chaos, WAY overbooked day after day and MORE.

Just another deeper spiral on her healing path, a familiar one that felt suffocating... But this time, instead of drowning, she simply came back to the work.

She chose herself again, even when it felt impossible to fit in- and in one 30-minute session with Jessie she came all the way safely home to her body.

"That's JUST what I needed!"

She totally rocked the double software launch along with everything else (as she does), AND she got to show up for herself.

Peace, Presence AND Power, under fire.

A FORCE of a woman finding an even greater force within.

And beneath all that momentum, a more tender chapter was unfolding, and it deserves to be told gently, because it is the real one. Women who hold as much as Tonya holds don't just carry calendars. They carry PEOPLE. It's the kind of love that never fully clocks out. And somewhere along the way, that beautiful, relentless love had taught her body that letting go was not an option.

So THAT became the real work. Not another strategy, not more strength- she had plenty of strength. Just the radical practice of letting her own body be held for once. And her body answered-

Session by session the guard came down. And what was underneath the guard was never weakness. It was life force, a whole storm of it, that had been waiting YEARS for a safe place to move-

Jessie held the frame for her again and again: you are the storm AND the calm inside the storm. You get to be creative and logical, feminine and masculine, powerful and held, all safely in this one body. And by her most recent session, Tonya was saying it back in her own words, resting all the way inside it-

Peace was never the opposite of her power. It's the home her power had been looking for. And at the close of one session, from all the way inside that home, she said everything there is to say-

Tonya is truly a wonder!

"Every one of these just gets more powerful than the last. Thank you."

The woman who got her voice back and then changed her whole life.

Maria immediately struck Jessie as well spoken, intelligent, successful, so put together and beautiful from the start. She had all the outside markers of a "successful" person.

Maria had done years of healing and mindset work. Beliefs, resentments, all of it. And she'd hit the ceiling of what the mind can do alone: "I felt that I'd reached a limit with it. I felt so disconnected from my body for the longest time."

She'd learned over and over again to survive aggressive environments by shutting down feeling entirely. "That became my way of life. Just to not feel anything." The shutdown came because despite so much effort, it seemed that was all just too hard to truly overcome.

But once her whole system and body were given the right guidance, it knew exactly where to go and what to do AND how to do it with ease.

It was such a beautiful release that she kept repeating, half laughing, half stunned and questioning that it could be so easy. Jessie confirmed what Maria's system was revealing to her- "Yes! Your body is remembering how easeful it really can be. You get to have soft power now….it gets to be this simple…It really actually gets to be this easy."

They learned together that boundary work isn't just saying no to what you don't want, but also saying YES to the good…yes to the NOW. Maria marveled, "Why did it ever have to be another way? Like this is the way it was just meant to be… this is what I want… So yes. YES!"

That's the soft power unlocking. The forcing stops. The automatic doing stops. Intuition leads, and the doing follows. Jessie likes to say that it's DOing from a place of BEing - that's alignment, and Maria found it!

"Something just ripped open inside me, and it was so intense... Now I feel powerful. I choose my sovereignty. I am sovereign."

And her very next breath, mid-glow: "Now I feel powerful. Damn, that feels good. I want some more of that."

In her first session she was so braced she could hardly let go enough to make a sound. Four sessions later she was yelling wide open and laughing about it, and the joy of that coming-home was so big the session closed with a full-on dance party. And then, right on cue, the inside changes started showing up on the outside of her life. And just witness this beautiful absurdity: her dropping life changes like side notes, as if each one wasn't big and life-changing but just, you know, by the way, something that happened... But just look at these?!

• "My voice has been released." The woman who couldn't make sound found her full expression.
• "I've quit alcohol." Something she'd wanted and tried for years. "I'd tried to quit and I couldn't." This time she didn't even try. She took the occupancy of her body back and it just left.
• Emotions stopped flooding her. "They're not overpowering me. That lets me be in uncomfortable situations without feeling like I can't handle it."
• She left the career that wasn't hers. "I've come to a clear realization that it doesn't align with who I am at all."
• She followed the "absurd" vision. And that divine download she almost didn't say out loud? She's living it now.

And speaking of her work with Jessie...

"This is the most important thing I'm doing in my life right now. Period… I am never going to stop."

Her final verdict, mid-laugh: "I actually have no idea what I'm doing. But it works!"

A powerful woman choosing to surrender to an even higher power/knowing within her…trusting it without even understanding it. It's awe inspiring, SHE'S awe inspiring.

The connector who found his ground and stopped snapping back.

Julius came in caught in a cycle every driven person will recognize: "Super intense, just go go 100%, and then that rubber band snapping back." Low energy. No inspired action. And underneath it, the old question: am I adequate? What he wanted was clear: "Groundedness and peace being in my own body. Connection with myself, connection with God and source."

"I have a groundedness and a stillness internally that wasn't there before. And I'm very grateful."

That was session ONE. Then it kept compounding:

• "You can know something for years, but it's very different once it's actually embodied. You feel that click when that actually happens."
• Real discernment arrived. "I've had experiences of saying no to things that otherwise I would pop myself out of." Even things that looked perfect on paper.
• Work flipped from dread to play. "Coming up with ideas for work, which before was very daunting and caused a lot of stress and resistance, and now it's actually really fun."
• The cycle broke. "A lot more at peace, and much more centered amidst whatever else may be going on."

"I'm remembering that it's safe to be fully aligned, fully embodied in my own body."

The one who stopped outrunning stillness and chose the softness instead.

Like so many women, Reitzee had learned to protect the vulnerable soft true essence of herself in a very masculine-dominated job and life. One that she was actually dominating compared to her male colleagues... But at a cost. A cost that, paradoxically, she kept moving deeper into in order to bury the vulnerability, but one that she knew she really didn't want anymore. Though it was primarily subconscious, she was more aware than most that she was using the work, the masculine-type control and DOing, as a way to run away from the deeper feelings and the natural way of BEing that her soul actually desired.

Whenever life got quiet enough for feelings to surface, Reitzee would work to distract herself... "Let's figure out how to find a week of work travel to distract from this."

The running was never about the work trips. It was about what waited in the quiet. And here's what makes Reitzee the bravest kind of woman on this page- she turned around. She walked TOWARD the thing she'd built a whole life avoiding. Not because it stopped being scary. Because she decided her life was on the other side of it.

And she carried a belief so many powerful women will recognize: "When you say feminine, the first thing that comes to my mind is weakness." But then...

"I keep touching on sadness that's coming up, but I'm able to meet it now, which feels different."

That's not a small sentence. That's a woman meeting what she used to outrun... and finding out SHE'S bigger than it.

And she does it on purpose, bigger than herself, to "try and stop the cycle," leaning ever more into the strength and clarity that already lived inside the feminine wisdom of her beautiful body.

She went deep inside of her femininity and was surprised by what she found there.

"It feels so soft and strong at the same time."

The softness won. It always was strength.

That discovery, made in her own body, renamed her whole journey. The running became the gateway to stillness and peaceful power:

• Her morning practice became "a boundary." "It's making me realize that I'm just not letting things overtake me."
• Work stopped landing personally. "I'm going to let this go. It's not worth it. It's not my end goal."
• The feelings she feared drowning in, she now meets.
• The work went generational. She calls it bigger than her.
• When offered one more exploration, she chose something new and powerful: "No thank you. I'd like to sit in the softness."

"It feels safe. Feels quiet. I'm always amazed at how quiet I hear the silence after. It makes me know how loud everything is before."

The more she felt the safety of her own system, the more she felt powerful enough to be feeling it. "Not becoming it." The feelings still come. That's being human. The difference is she can feel them fully now without turning INTO them. The sadness visits, without it becoming a problem or taking over. Any woman with the level of courage she has, to face the fear of letting go of the protective control that kept her safe, to travel through the pain and the grief in order to surrender to softness and truly find herself there, deserves to be revered and honored. Reitzee is absolutely remarkable.
