In this episode of Soft Human Voice, Jessica sits down with author and intuitive storyteller Rebecca Berry for an open and heartfelt conversation about listening beyond the noise of culture and conditioning. Together they explore intuition, embodied awareness, creative guidance, and the delicate balance between imagination and grounded reality.

The conversation moves through personal stories of grief, creativity, and spiritual practice, reflecting on how kindness, truth, and presence often emerge when we learn to listen more deeply to ourselves and to life itself. At its heart, this episode is an invitation to soften, become curious, and remember the voice that speaks through intuition, body, and experience.
