Hey lovelies, this episode is an exploration of sacred sexuality with two amazing women Julie Ann Otis, and Ariel Szabo. We dive into pleasure as a way to come deeper into the self:
- How do we use pleasure to help people come back to connection - create a sense of belonging.
- Recognizing how do we orient to pleasure - what are all the things / blocks/ stories that need to be tended too to open more to pleasure.
- Retraining of the nervous system requires safety and self awareness
- Pleasure - coming home to // the body being inherently pleasurable
- What is safety feel like in the body and how do we build our awareness to support deeper capacities of pleasure
- The relationship between pleasure and grief

About the host, Jenn Reilly
Hi, I’m Jenn Reilly, the host of the Raising Wholeness podcast. I’m a coach, mentor, and passionate advocate for women’s growth and empowerment through wholeness, especially as we navigate the complexities of motherhood, leadership, and self-awareness.
Through my own journey of alchemy and transformation—moving through the profound shifts of early motherhood and postpartum—I’ve come to understand that true wholeness requires us to embrace all parts of ourselves: the strengths, the challenges, and everything in between. It’s about weaving a tapestry that honors our cycles, our growth, and our deep need for both support and self-trust.
I created Raising Wholeness as a space where women can explore their full humanity—tending to our bodies, minds, and spirits in a way that’s deeply attuned and conscious. In my personal work, I support women, particularly those in leadership roles or early motherhood, in rewriting their stories, stepping into their full potential, and embracing the transformation that comes with it.
Whether you're navigating your own journey of self-discovery, motherhood, or leadership, my mission is to help you feel empowered, grounded, and aligned in all that you are. I’ve been through it, and I’m here to share my insights and to support you in your own journey toward wholeness.

EP 16: Jenn Reilly | Reparenting with Unconditional Love
When we reparent our younger parts with unconditional love, we not only heal our inner children, we start to build a relationship and an embodied knowing of unconditional love. AND love as the Holy Mother and Beloved Father, the divine feminine and the divine masculine. These are universal principles/energies that we all have access too. And the imprint of how we start to understand this love from the universe is through the imprinting of our parents. Cultivating a relationship with unconditional love is deeply healing, heals our younger parts, and informs our way of being and loving.
In this solo episode, I share some of the work I do with my clients on healing through cultivating a relationship with unconditional love.
If you have questions or are curious how to work this practice into your life, reach out, work with me 1:1 or join my community.
About Me // Jenn Reilly
I'm Jenn Reilly, Host of Mystics Rising and I created this podcast to share and inspire others on their own inward journey in support of our nurturing our future generations.
Although I've always been interested in spirituality, self development, and ways to know myself, I truly came home to the importance my own development with the birth of my daughter. Nothing seemed more important than what/how I am role modeling for her and those around me.
I now support coaches, leaders, and parents in cultivating their own path of wholeness, building practices of regulation, healing negative self-talk, healing child parts, unpacking their childhood, and rewiring their life to live into their best self.
