We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jessica Louise Phillips. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jessica Louise below.
Jessica Louise, appreciate you joining us today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
The name ‘With Open Wings’ was born out of my combined love of freedom through travel and the desire to provide spaces and experiences for people, particularly highly sensitive empaths, that felt like a warm embrace and a safe space for them to be their true, authentic selves.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
As a multi-passionate coach and healer of various modalities (Reiki, Yoga, Meditation, Astrology, Energy Healing and The Spiral), I have recently taken time out to focus solely on two of my biggest joys – travel and writing. My latest project has been sharing personal experiences and life lessons in a collaborative book called Stories of The Goddess: Divine Feminine Frequency Keepers, curated by Radhaa Publishing House.
This book is a collection of stories from women who have courageously followed their hearts and intuition, embodying various archetypes of the Goddess to overcome obstacles and rise to their fullest potential.
My personal chapter in the book focuses on Goddess Artemis and how we can carry the codes for both the gentle, compassionate mediator and the fierce, passionate advocate. I also share part of my journey to reclaiming self-worth as a highly sensitive empath and how this helped me overcome a recent encounter of the heart with someone who has narcissistic personality disorder.
Each story woven into the book is a testament to the power of love, creativity, intuition, resilience and tenacity, as women worldwide share their stories of transformation and empowerment. Through each of our journeys, we hope you’ll be inspired to tap into your inner magic, awaken to your true potential and unleash your own unique gifts. Whether you’re a writer, leader, healer or mystic, we believe you’ll find something to resonate within the pages of this book. It is available to order now on amzn.to/3Jzg082
Alongside this I also share many of my travel tales, daily adventures and heart musings on Instagram : @withopenwings
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
As a free-spirited wanderess with multiple therapies in my toolkit, I have always favored creating long-lasting change and freedom from within first. I am an advocate for emotional alchemy and encourage self-mastery via a unique emotional clearing technique called The Spiral. My main mission at present is to empower highly sensitive empaths to reconnect with and reactivate who they are at a soul level, so that they feel safe to be here now and show up as their most authentic selves.
I believe the key to finding or reconnecting with our ‘purpose’ – something which most of us are so eager to do – lies in what brought us the most carefree joy in childhood, or that continues to bring us those feelings of freedom today. For me this was always writing and reading. Embarking on this writing journey with Radhaa Publishing House was an important and transformative moment, as my main reason for doing so was to fulfil a childhood dream. I speak more about this here : https://youtu.be/IFQ0SEBwoPM
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
The Spiral: a 7-stage emotional clearing journey that’s designed to remove energetic blocks at the root, allowing you to master your emotions so that you can reach your fullest potential, live an empowered life and create success on your terms. It has been the most transformative coaching I’ve personally experienced with long-term results.
If people are not currently in a position to invest in such modalities, the most powerful, and readily available tool to us all is our breath. Never underestimate the transformative nature of mindful, conscious breathing or breath-work techniques. There are a host of free resources available online for this.
I also wish I’d known sooner about the opportunity to be part of collaborative books like those curated by Radhaa Publishing House. As someone who has dreamt of having her own books one day, writing and submitting a chapter for this project felt like a more manageable starting place, as well as an important stepping stone and learning curve.
