Jess Richter literally grew up in a gym. Her family-owned health club in Montana when she was young, so physical movement was something she did since she was a kid. She played basketball professionally overseas for several years. Knowing to be in her best shape served her well during the time, and it still does. She believes fitness is multifaceted and teaches for the whole self: mind, body, and soul. She’s a former collegiate and professional basketball player, certified yoga and fitness instructor, and a life coach.
Jess joined me in an interview inside of Membership for Your Soul to discuss how your body can be the entryway to more profound work. You know that I believe in holistic approaches to wellness, and Jess explains how this process has unfolded with some of her clients with amazing breakthroughs and results.
A lot of what resonated with me during her interview is how much it’s about knowing yourself. There is no cookie-cutter approach for wellness or workouts or diets that will work for everyone. We are all on a life-long mission to find what’s best for us at every stage of our life span. I hope you can find some inspiration on what Jess is sharing that will get you moving today.

- Physical pains can really be rooted in an emotional pain
- Morning routines
- Finding the right diet

Reading for this week:
Ladybug: Your week is about safety and stability. What makes you feel safe? If you had more money, how would you spend it? Would you just pay off debt? Or would you buy yourself something pretty? Where are you acting too serious in your life? Where do you need to take a break, stop and smell the trees? What wishes are you harboring and afraid won’t come true? Every day this week, breathe into those wishes and give them life. Know that Source Energy gave you these wishes. Now believe in them and take one step each day this week to make them happen. Every morning and evening, whisper those wishes to the sky and tell Spirit you are ready to make them come true. Pay attention to inspiring thoughts and take action to make them happen. Each day this week, start out your morning and end your evenings with a one-minute breathing exercise.
Spider: Multi-tasking is something you love to do and do well. Meditation is what you need right now. Visualize yourself a year from now, standing in a place you love, whether you know this place or not, and see yourself doing the activities that make your heart sing. Weave the web of the life you desire, not one that makes you feel trapped. Now get honest with yourself. Where do you feel trapped? Where do you feel stuck? Do you believe you can ever be free? If you don’t believe you can be free, then you won’t. Take steps towards your freedom. Know in your heart you are free. Breathe. Listen to one song you haven’t listened to in a long time and really hear its word. Let the music move you. Now move!
Ant: Poor little ant. Nobody wanted to pick him in membership. Why is that? Do ants feel too small? Are you afraid of being small?
If you picked ants, this week is all about clearing the clutter of your life. Getting organized. Knocking things off your to-do list because you need to make room for the new. New experiences can’t come in if you are so overwhelmed by what is going on at the moment. Write a list of things you would like to have done by the end of this year. Now breathe. Don’t think you have to do it all tomorrow. Each day this week, read that list and do one thing from it. Just one. You will feel amazing. Ants are all about building your dream house, your vacation house, or just your vacation. This week, every day, go to Pinterest, pull a picture of something you want, and put it in a folder named 2021.
