Episode 01: Finding Freedom in Motherhood with Jess Geist

Initiations in Love Podcast

In today’s VERY FIRST episode of the Initiations in Love podcast, Britta talks with her student, friend and business mentor, Jess Geist! They speak about her Initiations in Love journey, dig deep, get vulnerable, and Britta even coaches Jess throughout the discussion.

They discuss one of the most primal passages – Jess’s initiation into motherhood. Jess shares how she went from absolutely not wanting to be a mother, to sitting and speaking with Britta for the podcast at nine months pregnant! Sometimes, Love is calling us to something way beyond our comprehension (or plans) into a completely new way of being!
