  • S3.E7: Soul Development and Finding Light in the Darkness with Vivian Midttveit

  • S3.E4: Mothering the Mother with Ayurvedic Doula Jenna Furnari
    On this episode, Jessica chats with Ayurvedic Practitioner and Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula, Jenna Furnari, all about how to use ayurveda during the postpartum period of pregnancy. Jenna works primarily as an ayurvedic postpartum doula, and trains other women to do the same (Jessica took her training, it is great!). She talks about the importance of the first 42 days after giving birth — how a new mother needs to rest, rebuild ojas/balance vata dosha, and bond with her baby. An ayurvedic postpartum doula comes into a new mother’s home and helps prepare nourishing foods, can help with breastfeeding/lactation, helps support the mother with physical recovery after delivery, and is there to help with bodywork/self-massage/abhyanga, breath work, and meditation. It is this idea of using the principles of ayurveda for “mothering the mother” to provide loving and safe support to the new mama during an immensely transitional period in her life.

  • S3.E3: Opening to Possibility, Healing + Breathwork with Erin Telford
    Jessica is joined this week by her breathwork teacher + acupuncturist Erin Telford. Erin shares about her journey into breathwork and becoming a healer, why she loves this practice so deeply, and how she continues to be inspired by its potency. The women talk about what happens when we show up with courage and vulnerability, and are willing to step into a space of non-knowing. Breathwork holds up a mirror to our self-limiting beliefs, trauma, and pain, and then allows for the grace of emotional healing. Listen in to learn more about this powerful + transformative practice!

The women discuss saying yes to the call of your heart, even if you don’t know how things will turn out — how do we lean into trust of the unknown rather than fear of the unknown?
