Journey In
Welcome to Journey In, a show that aims to expand your perspective when it comes to defining your spirituality. We'll journey into conscious conversation around different spiritual modalities, health and wellness trends, and hear from spiritual thought leaders, so we can come together and learn to respect one another despite our differences. At the end of the day, a spiritual journey is a home coming to who you really are, and YOU get to define what that path looks like. We’re going to journey through it all—the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm your host, Jess Monteggia, and let's journey in.
