In this episode of Return to Weird, Jessa sits down with women’s health coach Emma Duncan for a raw, grounded conversation about food, control, nervous system regulation, and coming back into the body.

Emma shares her personal journey from disordered eating, anxiety, and performance-driven fitness into a more regulated, embodied relationship with movement, food, and herself. Together, Jessa and Emma explore why slowing down can feel more threatening than pushing harder — especially for high-performing women — and how control around food is often a survival strategy rooted in the nervous system, not a lack of discipline.

This conversation weaves together nervous system education, feminine and masculine energy, embodiment, gut health, stress physiology, and the deep cultural conditioning that teaches women to override their bodies. We talk about why weight loss can’t be the foundation of healing, how chronic stress perpetuates binge-restrict cycles, and what it actually looks like to build safety in the body.

You’ll also hear reflections on creativity, intuitive movement, strength training, body neutrality, and the spiritual dimension of healing — including why your body isn’t broken, and never has been. Slowing down isn't weakness. It's the work.

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve struggled with disordered eating, bingeing, or control around food
• You’re exhausted by hustle culture and “push harder” wellness advice
• You want to understand your body through a nervous system lens
• You’re curious about feminine embodiment and sustainable healing

In this episode of Return to Weird, Jessa sits down with Elijah Parker — Gene Keys Guide, Ambassador, and Co-CEO of the Gene Keys — for a grounded, embodied conversation about shadow, relationships, grief, and what it means to stay open in a time of collective change.

Together, they explore how the Gene Keys reframe shadow not as something to fix or transcend, but as a living intelligence carrying hidden gifts. They talk about relationships as mirrors, gentleness as a radical strength, and how creativity becomes a meaningful response to chaos rather than an escape from it.

Elijah shares his personal journey with the Gene Keys, how loss and contemplation reshaped his relationship to grief and love, and why returning to what makes us uniquely weird is essential for reclaiming our genius.
