expand and come home to yourself with jenna reiss | freak flag episode 8

…in which kath & jenna chat about the book jenna is writing (including the book deal she turned down!), inner initiations and undoings, and the magic of breathwork and creativity!

hellllooooo freak frennnnnz!!!

woo—a sparkly new episode of Freak Flag is here!!

SO PSYCHED to share with you my conversation with the brilliant Jenna Reiss. How are we already at episode 8, I don’t know. File it next to the meaning of life. MYSTERY.

Jenna is a Breathwork Meditation Healer, Writer & Birth Doula supporting people in living more intentional lives through Breathwork, Meditation & Intuitive Guidance. She teaches private, corporate, groups, and conferences working with people to break free from old patterns and habitual ways of being, and connect with their authentic selves again. She has been a student of many master teachers in Buddhist lineages for Meditation, along with a level 4 certified Breathwork Meditation Instructor, Reiki Facilitator and has been initiated to teach by her mentors for her authentic ability to transmit the teachings. She is also a speaker, and a human development writer, currently working on her own book, and is the founder of Expanded Wild Hearts, an intensive healing experience moving through fears and returning to love.

It was a mutual love-fest times a billion, and here are a few of the topics we covered, in no order whatsoever:

  • breathwork and how the breath is something everyone has access to, all the time

  • psychedelics and how the breath can you take you there, and farther, and more sustainably

  • jenna’s book, her writing and creative process

  • the challenges we all have to creative expression, and ways systems of power and oppression add additional layers of challenge for humans who are not white men

  • how to deal with creative shame, resistance, and the way life can sometimes “get in the way” of our ideas of timelines

  • self-compassion and letting go of self-imposed timelines for our creations

  • creativity as a deep spiritual path and way to get to know all aspects of self and Self

  • the way the breath meets you wherever you are, and can give you exactly what you need in any given moment

  • our vision of everyone flying their freak flags from the rooftops and screaming in exuberance

I have to tell you—every time I do a Freak Flag interview, I am high for HOURS afterward. It is amazing. The people I get to chat with, and the deep and holy and sacred work they are all doing—UGH IT IS SO FUCKING INSPIRING!!!!

OKAY, get in Jenna’s world if you want (and I DO RECOMMEND!):
