Embodiment, Ancestral Healing & Coming Home to Yourself | Ep 93 with Jessi Marino

Let’s go deeper—into the body, into the Earth, and into the parts of ourselves we’ve been conditioned to ignore.

In this episode of Operation Be, I sit down with the powerful and wildly grounded Jessi Marino, embodiment teacher, ritualist, vocalist, and founder of Wild Essence—a mystery school devoted to sacred living and embodied magick. With nearly two decades of experience guiding people into deeper relationships with their body and the unseen, Jessi brings a rich perspective on what it truly means to come home to yourself.

We dive into embodiment—not just as a concept, but as a way of being. We talk about how ancestral trauma can live in the body, how rituals and seasonal rhythms can anchor us in healing, and how the shift from constantly doing to simply being is where real transformation begins.

Jessi shares stories from her own path, along with practical tools for grounding, presence, and honoring your emotions—especially in a world that constantly tries to pull you away from yourself.

This conversation is deep, raw, and reverent…a beautiful reminder that your body is not the problem—it’s the portal.

✨Tune in now. Let’s remember who we are, together. ✨
