Truth Love and Connection Blog

The Blog — Truth, Love, and Connection

Welcome to the written heart of Truth Love and Connection—a refuge for sensitive souls, deep thinkers, and seekers of both science and spirit. Here, we explore the root causes of burnout, the patterns that keep us stuck, and the healing pathways that lead us home to ourselves.

Led by board-certified Nurse Practitioner and spiritual guide Jess Hicks, this blog offers practical insights, grounded neuroscience, emotional healing tools, and soulful reflections for anyone ready to reclaim peace, purpose, and inner safety.

Whether you're an older man waking up to the cost of self-abandonment, a caregiver carrying too much, or someone who's long felt like you had to "hold it all together"—you belong here. This is where personal mastery meets compassionate wisdom.

Read on for conversations that soften the edges, ignite healing, and remind you that you were never broken—only protecting the most tender parts of you.

Behind every sensitive child is often a sensitive adult—still carrying unmet needs, chronic overwhelm, and a deep longing for safety and understanding. This hybrid blog series is a healing companion for adults who were never truly seen or supported in their sensitivity.

Blending themes from parenting with powerful inner re-parenting tools, each post guides you back to your center. You’ll explore how to validate your emotions, regulate your nervous system, set boundaries without guilt, and become the inner caregiver you always needed.

This is your invitation to reclaim the parts of you that were once dismissed—and build a life aligned with your true, sensitive nature.

Perfect for: adults healing from childhood emotional neglect, sensitive souls seeking self-trust, and anyone walking the path of emotional maturity and nervous system restoration.

This space is for the tender truths, the quiet reckonings, and the moments that don’t fit neatly into a teaching framework. In Deep Dives and Personal Stories, you’ll find soul reflections, healing revelations, and behind-the-scenes insights from the path of sensitivity, service, and self-discovery.

Here, I share the real stories—my own and those I’ve been trusted to carry—about what it means to navigate this world as a deeply feeling person. These posts offer honesty, context, and depth around themes like burnout, belonging, inner peace, and resilience, not as theories, but as lived experiences.

Whether you're here for validation, wisdom, or simply to feel less alone, these writings are meant to meet you where you are—and gently guide you forward.

Perfect for: those craving authenticity, depth, and connection beyond how-to’s and checklists. Sensitive humans who want to feel seen.
