Welcome to the HOW'S YOUR HEART? Podcast! My name is Jess, your host and I am here to open the conversation on vulnerability and connection. The phrase “how are you?” has become so habitual that it now discounts the opportunity to engage in meaningful relationships and kindness. This podcast is here to encourage you to dive deeper with yourself first, so you are able to foster change within our interactions with others for the better. If you too are looking influence the energy in the room towards authenticity, this is the community for you – we are so happy to have you here.

everything from saying "f off" to Ed, to becoming the author of your life, in this episode of 'HOW'S YOUR HEART?', Jess discusses how your sense of self and mental health directly influence each other. we talk about how the practice of intentional rewriting of the things we have experiences puts us back in control of our sense of self, rather than let it be taken over by our traumas.
