In this Season 3 finale before a podcast sabbatical, host Jess Vangsnes invites us into a vital yet often overlooked pillar of relational wholeness: Rest. Moving from “doing” into “being,” Jess shares a personal look at her upcoming pause through early 2027 as she leans into seminary studies and discerns next steps for a call to serve.
Before stepping back, Jess offers a guided reflection through the foundational frameworks explored across the last 13 months. She breaks down Attachment Theory to help unpack nervous system responses and move toward earned security in God’s steady love. She examines how the Enneagram acts as protective armor, offering ways to soften defensive patterns and align with your True Self. Through Parts Work and Internal Family Systems, she shares how to replace inner judgment with Spirit-led curiosity to care for your protective and weary parts. Finally, she grounds these concepts in actionable Soul Care practices—including silence, solitude, the Daily Examen, and somatic awareness—to sustain you through seasons of transition.
Whether you are navigating anxious patterns, avoidant pulls, or divided internal parts, this episode offers reflective prompts and tools to help you settle into secure presence. While new episodes are on pause through early 2027, private 1:1 and couples coaching with Jess remains open. Reach out directly at [email protected] to work together during this season.
