Entry Level Mom Episode 21: Intuition & Ease with Jill Apperson

Summary
In this episode, I am joined by Jill Apperson.  Jill and I discuss intuition and ease as it relates to motherhood. Growing up, Jill was part of my family's village, and I grew up playing at her house with her two lovely daughters. Growing up, I always noticed Jill's ease and calm energy. I think of her often when I see my friends interacting with my children, because Jill's presence in my life influenced me in a positive way! 

Jill has written books on inner and outer journeys! Both were made into an animated films.
