Time has an interesting way of showing you what holds and what doesn’t. 

It pushes up against your ideas, puts pressure on you to think about things differently, and to grow.

And time has been on my mind a lot lately because, as of this January, my business has been online for 12 years. 14 years in practice overall.

So I’ve been pondering Year One Jessica and Year Twelve Jessica – about what’s still here after all these years and what’s had to shift.

When I first started, one of the things I cared most about was creating access and community.

At the beginning, I worked in-person at a metaphysical shop on Cape Cod, teaching classes and giving readings. And I noticed how much people craved connection. Not just answers or information. They wanted to be around other people who were exploring the world in a similar way.

I’d hear it during phone readings, too. People talking about how isolated they felt. How much they wished there was a place to gather, to learn, to talk openly about what they were experiencing.

I wanted to create that something. A place where people would be able to explore intuition and inner work no matter where they lived, in a safe community where they didn’t feel like they were doing this work alone.

So over my 12 years, I learned how to create the kind of spaces that help people form real relationships, where they can support each other through both major life changes and the day to day. 

I’ve learned to facilitate connections that are so strong, members have met up in person, despite living across the country from one another. They’ve even created groups that meet up online monthly.

That part of my Year One work is still important to me and isn’t going anywhere in Year Twelve.

But there are other parts of my early work that didn’t hold up the way I thought they would.

During Year One, I was very focused on divination and intuitive development. Tarot. Spirit guides. Angels. Past lives. Mediumship. Soul contracts.

But after a couple years in practice, I started noticing a pattern:

People would come for a reading and the message would land. They could even say exactly what it was pointing them toward.
But they’d come back later, in the same place and nothing had changed.

To Year One Jessica the answer seemed obvious.

All people needed to learn was how to connect to their intuition and guides, without needing a reader to do it. Direct access would stop the loop I was seeing.

So, I taught intuitive development and spirit guide classes. I worked closely with people and gave them what I thought would solve it.

I was so sure it would break the cycle – and it didn’t.

Even when people have that direct connection to spirit, it doesn’t automatically mean they know how to apply the advice so it changes their life.

Knowing something and knowing how to live it are two different things.

Without the tools to work with uncertainty…
Without the skills to create lasting change over time…
Intuition just keeps pointing to the same thing again and again.

My work and approach had to change.

So in 2020, I went on a mission, looking for what was missing. Not to replace intuition, but to support it.

That search led me into a multi-year certification through the Institute of Equity Centered Coaching with Trudi Lebron.  And it didn’t stop there. 

I kept studying. I paid close attention to what scientists and spiritualists were learning about change, how we find meaning, and how we actually move through uncertainty over extended periods of time.


I looked at my own life of transitions and I tested my theories, frameworks, and tools over and over again to see if they would hold.

Because my clients needed more.

Not just insight.
Not just intuition.
But intuition plus the skills to make it work in real life. 

Twelve years in, I’m still here. Still listening and adjusting how I work as I learn more. 

And still curious – especially about what Year Twenty-Four Jessica will think about Year Twelve Jessica and her work.
