Jessica Matten

Dark Winds is one of the best shows on TV, and today we're spending a real HEALING HOUR with one of its stars, Jessica Matten! Jessica's been in a ton of other rad things too including Rez Ball, Tribal and Frontier, and on today's episode, we start out talking about what childhood in Edmonton was like, and that segues into a really fantastic discussion of Jessica's mental health journey, including the medicine woman who changed her life and a lot of other things. Jessica also explains soul agreements to us and talks about some that in relation to some not-so-great guys she may have dated in the past, as well as lessons learned from working at her mother's Native modeling agency, The Armadillo Effect and SO MUCH MORE!
