In this deeply heartfelt and healing episode, Elliott is joined by the radiant Jenna Reiss—breathwork facilitator, healer, teacher, and new mother—for a soul-stirring conversation on the path of self-love, spiritual integration, and honoring the full spectrum of the human experience. From the transformative power of retreats and group healing to the tender, often hidden realities of fertility challenges and early motherhood, Jenna shares her wisdom with grace, vulnerability, and warmth.

Jenna opens up about her personal journey through IVF, miscarriage, and ultimately motherhood, weaving in how her spiritual tools like breathwork, meditation, and self-compassion supported her through each stage. She and Elliott explore the power of embracing the “shadow self,” letting go of perfectionism in wellness spaces, and reimagining what it means to be a “spiritual mother.”

Whether you’re navigating your own healing journey, holding space for others, or simply seeking a loving reminder of your own wholeness, this episode will meet you where you are.
