Betrayal to Emotional Ownership, Shadow Work & Feminine Reclamation with Jessica Lyn Part 1

Welcome to the very first episode of The Illicit Feminine Podcast a sacred space where nothing is silenced and every part of you is invited to rise.

In this raw, emotional, and deeply transformational conversation, host Elizabeth Marth is joined by her first guest, Jessica Lyn, a powerful emotional growth coach and speaker. Together, they explore Jessica’s decade-long journey through divorce, religious deconstruction, emotional repression, and sexual shame and how she transmuted it all into radical self-trust, embodied liberation, and feminine reclamation.
