🎧 MorgonSol Wellness interviews: Jessica Ferri - Jessica is not only a lively soul; she is a genuine joy to sit with. As she shares the story of her life, beginning with growing up in Georgia and being encouraged to pursue her dreams in the arts—particularly acting and singing—she invites us into the raw, sometimes complicated journey of learning to walk in the shoes of our own destiny. Her story is one of dreams, detours, reinvention, and the courage it takes to meet reality when it finally arrives. From auditions and singing conservatory to moving to New York City, writing and working in editorial, marriage and motherhood, Jessica eventually found her way back to singing—and, later in life, to earning a Master’s degree. Her journey is an honest and deeply relatable melody for anyone who has wrestled with questions of identity, purpose, and what it truly means to live in alignment with who we are. Today, Jessica is the founder of Womb House Books, a feminist bookstore nestled in Temescal Alley in Oakland, California—a warm, welcoming, and inclusive brick-and-mortar home for readers, writers, thinkers, and anyone who believes in the transformative power of books. She is also the author of Silent Cities New York: Hidden Histories of the Region’s Cemeteries and Silent Cities San Francisco: Hidden Histories of the Region’s Cemeteries, works that reflect her fascination with the stories hidden within places and the histories that continue to shape us. In this conversation, Jessica takes us through the winding path of her life—from the dreams of a young girl in Georgia to the creation of a beloved literary space in Oakland—and shares what she has learned about following your voice, redefining your purpose, and finding your way back to yourself. --------------------------------- A space built for women, about women — celebrating health, humor, and the beautiful, messy, magnificent journey of every stage of life. Where each new day is an opportunity to align more closely with your values, your version of personal health, and connect with and be inspired by the extraordinary women in our world — the warriors of light, the incredible humans who show up, who grow, and who remind us what it means to live fully. Today I am interviewing Anita Lillie, so she can inspire and tell her story of being a woman in her stages of life.
