What is Love?
Love can be defined many ways and it is far too powerful to capture in words. There is no 'one right way' to define it.
Love is:
the greatest human need
the universal base of most spiritual and religious paths
the umbrella holding all positive values (respect, presence, kindness, compassion…)
the most powerful leverage point for healthy systems — organizational and individual
the only thing that can prevent and heal fear, pain and wounds
the most powerful medicine on Earth for every form of dis-ease
within all of us -- the essence of who we are
Jessica Rios, Founder of Leaning into Light, is a writer, leadership consultant and Love Coach. For more than 25 years, Jessica has embodied Love-Based Leadership.Her greatest passion is to illuminate the beauty of the human spirit.
Jessica fortifies organizations by consulting as Chief Love Officer, listening for where the system is calling for the greatest human need: Love — and guiding it from there.
She coaches individuals who are ready to use Love's power to heal disease, and come to the other side of it feeling exponentially brighter. Her commitment to serve in these ways has been deeply affirmed by a NDE after brain surgery in 2021.
Since childhood, Jessica has been a prolific letter writer and a student of relationships and communication. She has been a commissioned writer for numerous clients including a global thought leader in AI and a Smithsonian celebrated sculptor. She has written for Upstate Business Journal(California),Findhorn Foundation (Scotland),Braided Way (USA), Natural Parent (New Zealand), Mothering Arts (California), Holistic Parenting (Florida) and Wild + Free (USA).
Born on the day the UN declared International Women's Day (March 8th) in 1975, Jessica has always been a big fan of the human heart and the power of feelings. One of her heroes since childhood is Fred Rogers, a saintly role model of emotional intelligence (EI) and friendship.
In Jessica's words, "One human superpower is to feel the Love we are. From there, we create a world — we create one moment of Now, and another, and another — based in Love instead of fear."
Expressing her passion for interdisciplinary and self-directed learning, Jessica designed her BA in Social Ecology & Personal Ethics at CSU Chico in 1998. She completed life coach training in 2004 with the most prestigious coach training program in the world, Co-Active Training Institute (CTI).
As a social entrepreneur, in 2004, Jessica founded Love Events and innovated a model of blending relationship coaching with green wedding planning in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2008, she founded The Co-Lab and led two Top Ten U.S. health care systems, UCSF Medical Center and UCLA Health System, through sustainability launches that led to both clients receiving awards from Practice Greenhealth.
Jessica lives with her 11-year-old daughter Helena Beam and their Goldendoodle, Jerry, in Sonoma County, California. Daily, she revels in the medicinal art of singing Love songs to the divine. You can reach her via email.
What people are saying...
Jessica Rios is rock solid. She was one of the first people I called when I got the news of a serious health condition six months ago. Since then she has been a vast vessel of wisdom for me, before and after surgery, helping me alchemize a very challenging time into a learning experience. She has a rare capacity to hold me with her coaching and she seriously walks her talk. I wanted to face and walk through my serious health issues the way she moved through hers. Her profound and deeply rooted wisdom have helped me find my own wisdom, reminding me how powerful love is for my body’s health.— D.H., Santa Barbara
