Soft Signals From the Grove

What happens when a former therapist stops performing expertise and starts practicing belonging in public?

In Soft Signals From the Grove, Diane Adams hosts unscripted, curious, and often playful conversations about building village in real time. With women — and occasionally nurturing men — who are stepping out of self-sufficiency and into shared circles.

This isn’t self-improvement.
It’s participation.

If you’re craving meaningful connection, honest middle chapters, and laughter that loosens the grip of isolation — welcome to the fire circle.

    Where Wild Women Find Each Other: A Conversation About Community, Sobriety, Sensitivity and Coming Home.
    Feb 8 2026
    🎙️ Episode 1: Where Wild Women Find Each Other — with Jess Conner

    In this first episode, Diane Adams sits down with therapist, writer, and soulful thinker Jess Conner — a woman she met in a wild women’s wellness circle in Missoula.

    What follows is a long-form, heart-forward conversation about what it really takes to build community, heal deeply, and belong without self-abandonment.

    Together, they explore:

    • The ache for village in a nuclear-family world

    • Sobriety and nervous system healing

    • Embodiment, grief, and the act of receiving

    • Friendship between grown women — without small talk

    • Existential kink, mushrooms, and honoring our WTF moments

    This isn’t a how-to. It’s a holy wandering. If you’re a woman who feels deeply, thinks critically, and longs for connection that doesn’t require performance — this is your fire circle.

    Pull up a chair. Breathe out longer than you breathe in. Welcome to Soft Signals from the Grove (formerly Women Who Dare).
