  • Send Me On My Way with Jess Maitri
    We’ve talked a lot, on FEMboldened, about the boldness of breaking free from the 9-5 but what if aligning with one’s authentic self required leaving your religion, your family, your marriage. Join Jess Maitri, LCSW and I as we discuss Jess’ unique journey in leaving the mormon church and finding her own path to herself. In this episode we talk about:
    Her creation of the Yothera Method and who it is here to serve (hint: everyone)
    How her biggest bold decision of leaving her church made future bold decisions “easier”
    What misalignments led her to her desire to find her own way and when she knew it was time to leave
    How choosing to leave everything she knew healed not only herself, but her entire mother line
    Needless to say this is a not-to-miss episode!
    Jessica Maitri is the creator of Yothera Method, a therapeutic modality that transforms the lead of your mind into the gold which lies within your body. Jessica is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Yoga Therapist, Breathwork practitioner and Intuitive Energy Healer. She blends both eastern and western therapeutic approaches to embodied wellness. Her trainings in both western psychology and eastern embodiment practices inform her work with groups and individuals, Jessica uses Yothera Method in both groups and individual work, inviting individuals deeply into the present moment, and meet life from a grounded and embodied perspective. She is deeply passionate about being part of the integrative medical model, creating a bridge between traditional mental health and holistic health. Jessica's work invites participants to deepen their exploration of Self, dive deep into their bodies' innate wisdom, and strengthen their trust in life and their own intuition.
