Welcome to Season 2 of Five Word Life Story - a podcast where five words change your life and how you see it.

Today's guest is Jessica Snow. Jessica's bright creativity and magical voice have made her a beloved meditation guide in her hometown of Los Angeles. Since 2012, she has guided hundreds of events with many thousands of people, written four books, and created a deep library of more than 130 original audio meditations (which people have pressed play on over 115,000 times!!!) and created a counter-cultural space for thinking and dreaming on Substack. Jessica’s main aim is always the same - to reunite us with the wellspring of divinity and magic that exists in us all. Her art is our magic-filled experience.
