In this final episode of Season 3 of Chakras & Chardonnay, Maria welcomes back special guest Jessica Arteaga for a conversation unlike any other — one that spans two years, two interviews, and two extraordinary chapters of healing.
In their first conversation, Jessica shared her story of managing lupus through faith, lifestyle changes, and natural medicine. Now, in 2025, she returns with an even more powerful testimony: healing not only from lupus but also from early signs of breast cancer.
Through it all, Jessica’s journey has been marked by resilience, patience, and deep trust in God’s timing. She opens up vulnerably about postpartum struggles, self-worth, navigating fear, and the transformation that comes from surrender and belief.
This episode concludes with a special guided meditation inspired by Jessica’s favorite Bible verse, Joshua 1:9.
Settle in, and allow Jessica’s story — and the meditation — to remind you that healing is possible, faith is powerful, and you are never alone.
Episode Highlights
- Jessica’s lupus diagnosis and her pivot to natural healing
- Overcoming postpartum depression and reclaiming her health
- The fear and faith lessons that came with a breast cancer diagnosis
- The role of prayer, patience, and surrender in true healing
- Reclaiming self-worth and the joy of embracing beauty and presence
Closing guided meditation on Joshua 1:9
