The Fireside Podcast: Recent Episodes
Miranda Diane and Jess Garay
We all have a fire that burns within us. A rumbling, an inner knowing, a blaze that roars intensely, a power ... that can’t be ignored. It’s raw, it’s honest, it’s vulnerable and pure.
We wander not because we are lost, but because we are found. We are willing to do the work, we are willing to be brave, we are willing to create new trails, we are willing to root ourselves in the magic that the Universe holds for us.
We came here to embody and lead from our natural desires, both in the light and through the shadows. We believe in the goodness of humanity and the incredible ability and responsibility we all have to leave our mark in the world.
We believe in the power of one, that every story matters, that every journey has significance, and that we are all connected.
Every Tuesday Miranda Diane + Jess Garay will be sharing pieces of our hearts, our journeys, the ups and downs and the in-betweens, with the knowing that we are never alone.
Join us as we dive deep into Untamed Truths, Wild Hearts, and Honest Sisterhood
xo,
Jess + Miranda
