Squats & Séances

About Squats & Séances

What happens when physical strength meets spiritual awakening? Squats & Séances dives headfirst into this fascinating intersection, offering a fresh perspective on the mind-body-spirit connection that goes beyond conventional wisdom. Meet Venessa – CrossFit trainer, nutritionist, former competitive bodybuilder, and self-described "burgeoning intuitive" who received some divine guidance during meditation to share her self-healing discovery journey with others. After years of building expertise in fitness and nutrition while simultaneously battling anxiety and processing trauma, she discovered that true wellness requires balance across all three foundational pillars: mind, body, and spirit. This podcast serves as both personal roadmap and community resource, drawing from Venessa's extensive background in fitness training, medical knowledge, and spiritual exploration. Expect deep dives into functional fitness, nutrition, neuroplasticity, trauma healing, energy work, intuition, and spiritual connection – all approached with an authentically gritty perspective that values truth over comfort. What separates Squats & Seances from other wellness podcasts is its commitment to integration rather than separation. You won't find pure spirituality divorced from physical reality, nor physical training devoid of mental and spiritual dimensions. Instead, you'll discover how these aspects complement one another to create a fully present, engaged, and optimized life. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast curious about spiritual growth, a spiritual seeker looking to strengthen your physical foundation, or simply someone wondering if there's more to life than what meets the eye, this podcast offers valuable insights without forcing any particular belief system. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't, and join us on this journey of discovery. Share your stories, ask your questions, and become part of a community dedicated to living well in all dimensions.

   Season 2 Finale: Flowing Between Physiology, Spirit, and Self

   Something big changed between recording season two and sitting down to close it out. When I hit record for this behind-the-scenes season finale of Squats and Séances, I’m not trying to tie life up in a bow. I’m telling the truth about transition: the kind that rearranges your identity, your work, your relationships, and what you believe about spirit, energy, and the messy middle between “what was” and “what’s next”. I share why season two unexpectedly leaned so hard into spirituality and con...

   When Your Pilates Teacher Also Talks To Joe

   A corporate career in Alzheimer’s care, a highway crash that stole her ability to work and walk, and a “brand name” that eventually became her legal identity. That’s just the starting line of our conversation with Jennifer Pilates, a globally known Pilates rehabilitative specialist and intuitive medium who’s built a career around true mind body spirit transformation. We talk about what it really means to get “gritty”: going past surface-level wellness into the root of pain, fear, and disconn...

   Pleasure Is A Practice

   Sex is one of the only places where we can’t fake being present for long, and that’s exactly why it can transform us. I’m joined by Emma Galland, founder of Tantric Awakenings, to talk about tantra as a full-body path of self-realization and why sexuality is not a “side topic,” but a powerful life force tied to confidence, vitality, healing, and how we show up in relationship. We get practical and honest about what changes when intimacy moves from tension to regulation. Emma breaks down how ...
