In this powerful and restorative episode, Goddess Zee is joined by Cassandra Juniphant, a Self-Care Alchemist, founder of Ori Ara and Author of The Body Ministry. Together, we explore the sacred intersection of the body, self-care, and spiritual wholeness.
Cassandra’s journey is as inspiring as it is transformational. A wife, mother, and former HR executive, she began her path to healing over a decade ago when she turned to bodybuilding to reclaim her health. That path led her to discover the deep, often overlooked, connection between wellness, professional success, and spiritual alignment.
Her evolution includes becoming a certified trainer, yogi, gym owner, and a dedicated student of nutrition and martial arts—all while navigating corporate life. Today, she leads modern women back to traditional wellness through her brand Ori Ara, her blog The Holistic Hustle, and her groundbreaking book The Body Ministry: A Playbook for Your Health and Fitness Journey. She also nurtures a thriving community in The Self-Care Collective.
In this episode, Cassandra shares how The Body Ministry became a spiritual movement—inviting us to reimagine the body as sacred, not something to fix or fight, but something to honor.
