Show Notes
Are you exhausted from performing the version of yourself the world expects? Do you keep pushing through feelings instead of actually letting yourself have them? What would it feel like to stop proving yourself and just be?
In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Jessica Winterstern, creator of The Feminine Heart, for a deeply honest conversation about what it actually means to live from an open heart. From watching her mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis crack her wide open, to the daily devotion it takes to stay soft in a world that rewards hardness, Jessica brings wisdom, warmth, and radical permission to feel everything.
This conversation covers shadow work, sacred rage, somatic healing, and why true femininity has nothing to do with being passive. It’s one of those episodes that stays with you long after it’s over.
In this episode, you’ll learn: What the feminine heart actually is and why it has nothing to do with how you look. Why softening requires feeling the full spectrum, including anger and rage, not just the gentle parts. How to use somatic practices to let emotions move through your body instead of calcifying inside it. What shadow work and the golden shadow reveal about the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding. Why the most magnetic thing you can do is commit to your own healing. Jessica is offering listeners a free meditation! Go to her Instagram @thefeminineheart and send her a DM with the word “Heart”.
