Conditioning to Consciousness
Conditioning to Consciousness explores the journey from inherited conditioning to embodied awareness — honoring personal healing as a catalyst for collective transformation. It’s for those peeling back layers of stress, people-pleasing, burnout, and self-silencing — and learning how to reclaim autonomy, self-trust, and purpose in a world shaped by systems that keep us disconnected from our bodies and intuition.
Hosted by Jess Callahan, this podcast blends thoughtful conversations with experts and change-makers alongside solo episodes informed by personal healing, post-graduate studies in transpersonal psychology and consciousness, and years of study in nervous system regulation, intuition, astrology, and somatic awareness.
Each episode connects back to five core pillars of healing and awakening:
- Nervous system regulation
- Deconditioning the mind
- Reconnecting with intuition
- Self-discovery
- Integration and embodiment
Rather than bypassing hard truths, Conditioning to Consciousness approaches healing through compassion, curiosity, and grounded awareness — recognizing that personal healing ripples outward into collective change. When even a small percentage of people elevate their consciousness, the world around them begins to shift.
This podcast is for cycle-breakers, system-seers, creatives, and deep feelers who are doing the real work — not to fix themselves, but to remember who they are beneath everything they learned to survive.
Just because the systems are broken doesn’t mean we have to be.

Conditioning to Consciousness
04. Beyond Mindset: Why Real Transformation Needs Mind, Body & Soul
In this episode of The Becoming You Project, we challenge the myth that mindset is everything and explore why true transformation requires the integration of mind, body, and soul.
We dig into the limits of mindset culture, how nervous system regulation impacts sustainable change, and why ignoring the body’s cues keeps us stuck in cycles of burnout and self-doubt. You’ll learn how to reconnect with your body as your most honest feedback system, rediscover your soul as your inner compass and source of meaning, and use intuition as the bridge between your deepest self and your conscious awareness.
We’ll break down common misconceptions about spirituality, showing how it doesn’t have to mean belief in anything supernatural — and how connection to something greater can be found through nature, creativity, community, service, or personal values. You’ll also hear the often-overlooked history of how cultural conditioning severed us from our intuition, leaving us over-reliant on logic, productivity, and external validation.
This episode blends psychology, history, and practical tools to help you reclaim balance, reconnect with your inner knowing, and create change that actually lasts.
