The Smoke Sesh with Jess

SZN2 | EP. 2: Self-love is a Constant Practice

The Smoke Sesh turns 1 today! Let's revisit the topic of self-love, this time we're understanding it as a practice. In our very first episode, we took the time to deconstruct our idea of self-love this time around we have the opportunity to figure out what execution can look like to us. I share some of the ways that I practice self-love and stretch the importance of practice. Outro Song: I - Kendrick Lamar

Listen and let's talk about why these emotions aren't as negative as we've been taught to believe. Let's get to the root of how we feel together.

EP3: Realness on the Non-Profit Industrial Complex

I'm back with another episode! This time with a Special guest, my friend Itzel comes on to help me give a critique around the structural issues in the non-profit world or what we like to name as the non-profit industrial complex. Keep an open mind as you listen, and enjoy the natural dialogue - excuse the likes and um's we're a little inebriated ;).

As always, thanks for tuning in and hopefully you were able to pull something out of this. Outro song: NICE - THE CARTERS
