Reading Her Diary Jess Jones
-
- Society & Culture
Join me, Jess Jones, as I interview women about their self love & relationship stories. I'll be discussing themes that we don't normally talk about such as sex, marriage, break ups and learning to heal from trauma. I hope that by listening to this podcast you'll feel inspired and empowered in your own love life, whether you're single, dating or in a relationship. I want to encourage you to own your story, to share it proudly and to know that whatever you're going through you're not alone. At the end of each episode I'll share journal prompts to support you to reflect on your own relationships, especially your relationship with yourself.
