Consciously UnconsciousThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives & The Art of SeductionIt's a solo episodeeeeee! Jessa has been in Europe for 3 weeks galavanting her way through summer, so Amanda is taking the mic this week to discuss very important things in American pop culture — The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Before diving in, she updates on prepping to join Jessa in France, and some honest feelings about Ellis turning three, mom guilt, and a Halloween birthday party in June. Then it's time to dissect the drama: why we’re culturally obsessed with reality TV, how each woman on the show embodies an archetype from The Art of Seduction (yes...2025-06-1757 minConsciously UnconsciousThe Frequency of Music: How Sound Heals, Manipulates, and Shapes CultureIn this melodic episode, we dive into the soul-shaking power of music…how it heals, moves, connects, programs, and shapes us. From ancient healing frequencies to the modern-day cultural landscape of pop lyrics and stardom, we explore how sound becomes a language for the spirit and how artists build worlds that shape our society.But first, we debrief what a morning with a two and four year old is actually like. Jessa slept over Amanda's and recounts the shocking experience of dropping the boys off at daycare & changing her first diaper. After a hyper-pop Beverage of The We...2025-06-101h 12Consciously UnconsciousThe Alchemist by Paulo Coelho: A Very Consciously Unconscious Book ClubDrink every time we say "potent." This week, we're cracking open a bottle of "Spanish" red wine, and Paulo Coelho’s timeless tale of destiny for our first-ever book club episode. The Alchemist hits different every time you read it—and this time, it led us into a deep, almost-two-hour conversation about personal legends, time, unconditional love, and fear, while also clearing up some of our unanswered questions: what is the Elixir of Life, the Emerald Tablet, and the Philosopher's Stone? What is the meaning of the Englishman? And what does it really mean to follow the call...2025-06-031h 39Consciously UnconsciousIf Nature Could Speak, What Would She Say? Outdoor Anecdotes, Nature Schools, & Crying Over David AttenboroughWe're stepping outside — literally recording live from one of our fav spots in Boulder, CO — to explore the healing power of the natural world. From digital detoxes to emotional odes to David Attenborough (yes, Jessa cries), we reflect on the ways the outdoors has shaped us and continues to pull us back to what’s real. Amanda shares her experience growing up next to shark bite capital of the world and sending her kids to nature school, while we both dive into the science behind negative ions, circadian rhythm, and how air quality helps us think more clearl...2025-05-271h 06Consciously UnconsciousAre Dreams Premonitions? Day Dreaming, Lucid Dreaming, & The Collective UnconsciousWhat do your dreams really mean? Aaaaaaand what if they’re not just happening at night? In this episode, we explore the mysterious landscape of the subconscious mind, from Jungian archetypes and shadow work to the difference between dreaming while you sleep and dreaming while you’re awake. We talk lucid dreams, prophetic symbols, collective unconscious, and what it really means to “follow your dreams.” We also dive into the hypnagogic state - a liminal, visionary space between sleep and wakefulness - where many artists, inventors, and mystics throughout history have tapped into wild bursts of creativity. This wee...2025-05-201h 06Consciously UnconsciousIdentity Chameleon: Authenticity, Self-Abandonment & Social Shape-ShiftingNot all identity shifts are signs of inauthenticity…sometimes, they’re signs of intelligence, adaptability, and social intuition. This week, we’re talking about what it means to be an identity chameleon: how we navigate showing different sides of ourselves in different spaces, and where the line is between genuine fluidity and losing ourselves to fit in. We explore how this shows up in friendships, family dynamics, and work life, as well as in culture & entertainment. We ask the key question when it comes to "playing the game" — am I being myself, or am I abandoning myself? Plus, a little li...2025-05-131h 07Consciously UnconsciousSeductive, Inspired & In: Our Summer 2025 Pinterest ManifestoThis week we’re serving up an audio mood board for your summer (and honestly, your whole 2025). We each made Pinterest boards packed with our personal ins and outs and then basically turned them into a bantery, chaotic, but inspiring manifesto. Expect opening rants about sociopaths, Jessa’s new emotional support Labubu plush toy, and Amanda’s passport drama that almost canceled our entire international France trip.It’s playful. It’s kind of profound. It’s a reminder that you get to curate your reality, one aesthetic decision at a time. Drop by to get creative about your own vibe thi...2025-05-061h 22
Raw IntentionsA Stream of (Un)Consciousness ft. Amanda Fowler & Jessa FragnoliHello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week’s episode is truly an unscripted, unplanned, steam of consciousness- we sing, we question societal norms, we dissect White Lotus, and I loved every second. I’m joined by soul sisters Amanda Fowler and Jessa Fragnoli, co-hosts of the Consciously Unconscious podcast, and two of the most grounded, yet unserious, people I’ve ever met. Amanda’s a young mom of two, Jessa’s a yoga instructor; and even while typing that, I realize these roles don’t even begin to describe them. Together, they share a unique ability to bring humor and de...2025-05-011h 25Consciously UnconsciousDepression, Anxiety and Healing: A Non-Exhaustive Mental Health ConvoThis week’s episode is equal parts girl chat and grounded honesty. We dive into an important, though not exhaustive, conversation around mental health: the quiet undercurrents of depression and anxiety, how loneliness can linger even when life looks “good” on paper (and online) and the subtle but powerful impact of our environments.Amanda discusses her experience with anxiety and the holistic tools she learned through mindset coaching, while Jessa shares how reconnecting with the natural world in Patagonia helped her move through a heavy season. Together we explore what it really means to care for your mental...2025-04-2959 minConsciously UnconsciousExploring Eastern Wisdom: Buddhism, The White Lotus, & The Four Noble TruthsThis week, we’re peeling back the layers of The White Lotus; not just a cultural critique of the show (warning- spoiler alert), but the aesthetic, the fantasy, and the Western fascination with, and misconception of Eastern mysticism. In this philosophical deep dive, Amanda poses the existential questions we’re all quietly screaming into the void: “Do we all have intrinsic value?” What are we without our attachments?”Jess takes the mic with her lived experience as a modern Buddhist, walking us through the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and how ancient wisdom is still wildly relevant f...2025-04-221h 03Consciously UnconsciousThe Frequency of Emotions: Sacred Anger, Pride, & Alchemizing What We FeelThis week, we’re diving deep into the emotional underworld by exploring the frequency of emotions and how feelings like anger, shame, and pride hold powerful potential when acknowledged consciously. Inspired by the emotional frequency scale by David Hawkins, we unpack how emotions are energetic states that can either contract or expand us and how learning to alchemize them can lead to profound personal growth.We reflect on the concept of sacred anger, how it can be a gateway to healing rather than something to suppress and talk about the fine line between willingness and capability when it...2025-04-151h 15Consciously UnconsciousStreams of Consciousness: Pyramids of Giza, Grandma Names, & Broken BirdsThis week, we’re just two girls on a mic, catching up on life and spiraling into random corners of our brains. From wondering if birds are government drones to rebranding our future grandma names, questioning the pyramids, and name-dropping Joe Dispenza just enough to keep it conscious…we’re embracing the beauty of aimless banter.There’s nothing wildly profound here; just laughter, curiosity, and conversations that feel like a sleepover in audio form. Think of this as your breather before we get deep next week with a very philosophical episode. Until then, enjoy this brain smoothie...2025-04-0854 minConsciously UnconsciousMotion is Medicine: How Movement Shapes Our Mind & BodySpring has finally arrived in Denver, and we’re soaking up the sun while diving into a conversation about movement; how it heals, expresses, and connects us to our most intuitive selves.

Jessa reads Amanda’s life and year path numbers, breaking down the archetypes of 1-9 and how numbers show up in your life as a self-realization tool. We also get into the Fibonacci sequence, the hidden language of the universe, and Jessa’s reconciliation with Pythagoras after years of hating math. Whether you’re a num...2025-03-251h 12Consciously UnconsciousThe Power & Paradox Of Words: An Exploration Of Language, Expression, & MeaningLanguage is one of the greatest tools we have, but also one of our biggest limitations. In this episode, we unravel the magic and mystery of words and language - how they shape our reality, connect us and yet.. still fall short of truly expressing the depth of human experience. Can you ever fully describe love? Grief? A spiritual awakening? We explore everything from linguistics and Amanda's love letters she mailed to Lucas, to the myth that Jessa believes is Hellen Keller. Plus, we put language to the test in a Beverage of the Week experiment… can Amanda find th...2025-03-181h 00Consciously UnconsciousBONUS | Streams of Consciousness: Quantum Jumping, Nose Jobs, & Dream WeddingsIn this casual (but surprisingly deep) bonus episode, we’re riding the wave of excitement from being featured on Apple Podcasts’ Browse page and welcoming all our new listeners!

In this episode, we talk about the intuitive energy of winter and how it naturally invites us to rest, reflect, and turn inward, and why fighting against that might actually be what’s making us miserable.We also explore how different parts of the world experience winter, from Scandinavian hygge culture to places that get zero day...2025-02-1856 minConsciously UnconsciousSoulmates, Twin Flames & Karmic Relationships: Love, Fate, & Free WillIs love cosmic destiny, or do we create our own fairytales?

As we enter 2025, we dive deep into the idea that everything exists in cycles: history, nature, your biology, and beyond. From the repetitive patterns of the universe to the ones that sneak into our personal lives, we ask: is it possible to live outside of cycles? Do they always complete themselves?
We’re also spilling on our New Year’s resolutions (spoiler: more trust, less control, and a whole lot of spontaneity), recapping Amanda meeting Jessa’s parents, and getting jazzed about NYE.
