The Journey to Here Podcast with Jess Madenford

Jessica Madenford

Jess invites you on a collective journey of healing, where you can flourish as a compassionate, fulfilled individual. Discovering inner peace and living in alignment with your unique truth often requires the courage to break away from societal and familial expectations. This podcast explores introspection, self-discovery, and the bravery to live authentically—even when it challenges conventional norms. Many begin this journey of self-exploration to uncover their true values, passions, and purpose. Balancing personal authenticity with the need for social connection is a complex process. It involves questioning, redefining, and navigating relationships and societal structures that may not always understand or support choices that go against the grain. This podcast is also a resource for those learning to trust themselves and tap into their intuitive abilities. Whether you're exploring your intuition to guide your own life or looking to cultivate a holistic path of helping others, you don’t have to be a medium to connect with your intuitive self. This podcast is here to support your mental, emotional, and spiritual journey, offering you the confidence, self-trust, courage, and empowerment to embrace your authentic self. With Jess as your guide, you'll receive tips to navigate all of this with ease and grace.

    “I’m going from zero to 60 and don’t know why.”  “I’m burned out — I don’t know what’s happening.” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. In this episode of The Journey to Here Podcast, we name the heavy emotional toll so many are feeling under today’s intense political climate — no matter your beliefs or background.

    What It Means to Come Out of the Spiritual Closet

    In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of fear, judgment, and conditioning to explore what it truly means to “come out of the spiritual closet.” For those experiencing a non-religious spiritual awakening, the path can feel lonely and uncertain—especially when it clashes with the beliefs we grew up with. Jess shares her deeply personal story of awakening, sparked by profound loss and guided by her mother and grandmothers in spirit. Raised in a Christian household that discouraged spirit connection, she wrestled with fear and judgment while navigating her path. Jess reveals how embracing her intuitive gifts allowed her to heal, find peace in her grief, and reconnect with her authentic self. If you’ve ever felt called to explore your spirituality but held back because of “what they’ll think,” this episode is for you. Tune in for: Insights into navigating fear and judgment when stepping into your authentic selfThe role of grief as a catalyst for spiritual awakeningHow connecting with spirit can bring comfort and healingTune in for this transformative journey as we collectively redefine what it means to embrace spirituality, trust our intuition, and honor our personal truth.
