The Journey to Here Podcast with Jess Madenford
Jess invites you on a collective journey of healing, where you can flourish as a compassionate, fulfilled individual. Discovering inner peace and living in alignment with your unique truth often requires the courage to break away from societal and familial expectations. This podcast explores introspection, self-discovery, and the bravery to live authentically—even when it challenges conventional norms.
Many begin this journey of self-exploration to uncover their true values, passions, and purpose. Balancing personal authenticity with the need for social connection is a complex process. It involves questioning, redefining, and navigating relationships and societal structures that may not always understand or support choices that go against the grain.
This podcast is also a resource for those learning to break generational cycles, trust themselves and tap into their intuitive abilities. Whether you're exploring your intuition to guide your own life or looking to cultivate a holistic path of helping others, you don’t have to be a medium to connect with your intuitive self. This podcast is here to support your mental, emotional, and spiritual journey, offering you the confidence, self-trust, courage, and empowerment to embrace your authentic self.
With Jess as your guide, you'll receive tips to navigate all of this with ease and grace.
