Modern life is a paradox, & we’re here to talk about it. Consciously Unconscious blends laugh-out-loud banter with deep dives into the human experience. Each episode, best friends Jessa & Amanda navigate the tension between self-awareness and big questions, unpacking everything from philosophical rabbit holes to modern cultural commentary with a mix of wit and wisdom. With a Beverage of the Week in hand, we question everything — society, relationships, self-expression, & the illusions we live by. We’re not education, we’re entertainment inspiring you to get educated about yourself & the world.
Solo Flow: Jessa on Control, Creation, & Turning 28
In this episode, Jessa hits record a few days after turning 28 and reflects on the wild, weird, and wonderful ride of being human. From learning to release control to letting life unfold without gripping too tightly, this one’s all about living in flow, creating your own reality, and tuning into what actually feels good.
She shares lessons from her own journey on how your internal state shapes your external world, how your relationships are mirrors, and why co-creating with the universe is way more fun than trying to force the plan. Think: birthday reflections, metaphysical musings, and just a cozy little catch-up with your consciousness-forward co-host.
Whether you’re deep in your Saturn return or just need a reminder to chill the f*ck out and trust, this one’s a solo soul hug from Jess to you.

The Path to Longevity: Blue Zones, Purpose, & Aging Gracefully
In our very first virtual episode (!!), we’re tuning in from two very different but equally nostalgic places; Jessa from her childhood home in upstate New York, and Amanda from the magic of Aspen. We catch up on all the post-Europe reintegration feelings & Amanda’s family time in the mountains.
But the heart of this week’s conversation? Blue Zones - those rare places in the world where people consistently live past 100 and do it with joy, grace, and community. We unpack Dan Buettner’s groundbreaking research and the nine pillars that define Blue Zone living from natural movement and strong social ties to living with purpose and eating with intention.
We talk about the sovereignty you have to shape your environment, choose your daily rituals, and create a meaningful life…no matter where you live. Plus, how we’re integrating these insights into our own lives post-travel, post-chaos, and back in the flow.
Spoiler: there’s definitely more to say on this, so consider this Part One.

Conscious Coupling: Gender Roles, Resentment, & A Peek Into Amanda's Marriage
In this unfiltered and easeful conversation, Amanda brings her husband, Lucas, onto the mic for a raw look inside their marriage. From breaking down gender roles to navigating new parenthood without losing themselves —or each other— they explore what it really means to build a conscious relationship in 2025... especially since they've been building theirs since 2014.
Expect discussion on evolving as individuals, hot takes on flirting while married, hilarious detours that highlight Lucas' ADHD (Jack Black's angelic voice? Balding empowerment? The legend of the red Kia Sorento?), and a whole lot of taboo truth-telling. They talk resentment, desire, leadership in marriage, and why letting your partner be fully themselves might be the ultimate act of love.
Plus, they both share their best tips on entering parenthood and thriving because this wouldn't be an Amanda episode if it didn't include MILF & DILF energy. Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this one will leave you questioning the old rules—and maybe rewriting your own.

Solo Flow: Jessa on Control, Creation, & Turning 28
Published 29 Jul 2025 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And it's put a lot of perspective just out into the ether for me about phases of your life and how things change. And the nostalgia of me coming back here and having all these childhood memories like flash in front of my eyes about homecoming and soccer and prom and playing in the woods in my backyard. I mean, all these things like rush back to you. And the really beautiful, beautiful memory is that almost feel, they feel so close to you, but simultaneously so distant. I don't know if anyone else feels that way, but like I almost do and don't identify that those things were me. Like that little girl was me. […]
