🎧 MorgonSol Wellness interviews: Jessica Ferri - Jessica is not only a lively soul; she is a genuine joy to sit with. As she shares the story of her life, beginning with growing up in Georgia and being encouraged to pursue her dreams in the arts—particularly acting and singing—she invites us into the raw, sometimes complicated journey of learning to walk in the shoes of our own destiny.

Her story is one of dreams, detours, reinvention, and the courage it takes to meet reality when it finally arrives.

From auditions and singing conservatory to moving to New York City, writing and working in editorial, marriage and motherhood, Jessica eventually found her way back to singing—and, later in life, to earning a Master’s degree. Her journey is an honest and deeply relatable melody for anyone who has wrestled with questions of identity, purpose, and what it truly means to live in alignment with who we are.

Today, Jessica is the founder of Womb House Books, a feminist bookstore nestled in Temescal Alley in Oakland, California—a warm, welcoming, and inclusive brick-and-mortar home for readers, writers, thinkers, and anyone who believes in the transformative power of books.

She is also the author of Silent Cities New York: Hidden Histories of the Region’s Cemeteries and Silent Cities San Francisco: Hidden Histories of the Region’s Cemeteries, works that reflect her fascination with the stories hidden within places and the histories that continue to shape us.

In this conversation, Jessica takes us through the winding path of her life—from the dreams of a young girl in Georgia to the creation of a beloved literary space in Oakland—and shares what she has learned about following your voice, redefining your purpose, and finding your way back to yourself.

MorgonSol Wellness interviews Sandy Simon — born and raised in Minnesota, this California-based ceramic artist, woman, and owner/creator of Trax Gallery is truly an inspiration.

Sandy shares her story, beginning with her childhood as the daughter of a nurse and a banker. She attended the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis in the late 1960s, where she studied under renowned ceramic artists Warren MacKenzie and Curt Hoard. She reflects on her classmates and contemporaries, including Mark Pharis, Wayne Branum, Michael Simon, and Randy Johnston, all of whom went on to establish notable careers in clay.

Sandy takes us on a fascinating journey through her own unconventional path — including her time as a hippie living in a chicken coop in rural Georgia. After meeting Robert Brady, a well-known local artist, becoming a mother, and eventually starting her own gallery, Sandy’s story unfolds as a powerful reflection on what it means to live authentically.

Throughout the interview, she speaks to the importance of aligning with your truth, embracing freedom, and, above all, following your heart.

A few years after college, she set off on a backpacking trip around the world with a friend—visiting 13 countries across four continents and capturing thousands of images on film along the way.

Back in San Francisco, Laleh briefly explored commercial photography before transitioning into freelance graphic design, working with brands such as Pottery Barn and Design Within Reach.
