  • Join Jill this week for an impromptu reflection on personal growth, self-perception, and the value of being supported. She shares her recent experiences not as a coach but as a client, opening up about the insights that she gained from two powerful coaching sessions with Dr. Laura Perez and Dr. Georgie Muir (both of whom have actually been on the show before).

    With Dr. P, Jill explored the story of Buddha and the demons, definitely an appropriate metaphor for how she has dealt with mom guilt. She realized that her book, which is still forming within her but that she hopes to have out by spring 2026, is an invitation to sit with these feelings, to acknowledge them, and to release them with grace. It’s a project not just for others, but for herself because some stories demand to be written.

    Her session with Dr. Georgie was also enlightening for her. Dr. Muir uncovered something perhaps even more personal for Jill: the fear of being seen. Despite years of creating in anonymity, Jill senses a change in the future, a step into more visibility. Through unexpected bodywork exercises, she shares having felt an undeniable release which served as confirmation for her that taking up space isn’t just necessary; it’s safe even though the tension lingers. She encourages listeners to ask themselves what it means to be truly seen, not just by an audience but by ourselves, by our partners, by the people who matter most.

    Also stay tuned as Jill provides some info about her upcoming Plot Twist retreat and also offers some quick updates such as how she is still sticking to a carnivore diet which has continued to improve her life. This is an informative, insightful, and intimate episode of Be YOU that you will not want to miss!

  • Many of us have been taught to push through stress, wear busyness as a badge of honor, and keep up appearances no matter what, but join Jill this week as she discusses the possibility of true resilience not really being about handling more but about feeling more. Jill reflects on how she changed her relationship with stress, shifting from overwhelm to a place of calmness and being present.

    Using a personal story of a particularly demanding day (a day that would have once caused her to spiral), Jill explains the power of expanding what she calls the "window of tolerance." This isn’t about endurance or being productive but is about making room for joy, peace, and trusting yourself. Through somatic practices, breathwork, and sensory techniques, she offers some practical ways to reconnect with the body rather than just trying to outthink it.

    Jill, in addition, challenges our cultural obsession with busyness, suggesting that our inability to slow down isn’t a sign of strength but is rather a silent distress signal. She invites us to step inside our inner world and to stop running and start listening. By working on a more compassionate connection with ourselves, we don’t just cope better; we actually experience life more fully.

    If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of stress and self-doubt and feeling like you need to constantly be busy, then this episode of Be YOU offers another way forward, so listen in as Jill touches upon all of this and more!

  • Jill is so honored and excited this week to be joined by Dr. Laura Perez, a truly fascinating expert in trauma and family constellations. Laura is a psychotherapist with a Ph.D. in cognitive sciences, and she shares her unique approach of blending science with spirituality, offering insights into transgenerational trauma and exploring how inherited experiences shape even our present behavior, often without us even realizing it. Laura's approach to family constellations allows people to gain a deeper understanding of their relationships, truly offering potential for healing.

    Dr. Perez also shares how family constellations work, how people can potentially uncover hidden patterns in their lives, and how subtle connections can shift during such sessions. She touches upon why it's important to connect with the body to access healing, stressing that somatic awareness is incredibly important for permanent change. This episode also discusses the use of tools such as tarot cards in this process - not for mystical prediction but as psychological tools that help bring clarity to one's perspective.

  • Jill welcomes you this week as she discusses the current winter season. With the Winter Solstice coming up (which is, of course, the shortest day and longest night of the winter), she discusses her reasons for personally loving winter and how she regards it as a time for slowing down and reflecting. If you go outside during the winter, you will notice that nature takes this time to pause and be still, but humans so often don’t. Why is that?

    Society tends to encourage us to keep going and pushing on, but it’s so important that we honor slowing down and becoming insular because it helps enhance our health in multiple ways, including physically, mentally, and spiritually. So many of us don’t not only because of external pressures but also because trying to be still can drive us crazy which is why Jill encourages conscious, committed, and consistent effort.

    Jill encourages listeners to allow themselves to really embrace winter and to be still, but what exactly does that mean? She gives some examples such as becoming more insular, focusing on rest and nourishment, limiting social media and phone usage, and spending time outdoors even when it’s cold. She discusses why it’s important to connect with nature and to be outdoors more often, especially for people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder.

    This episode of Be YOU is an invitation for you, an invitation to give yourself the gift of winter stillness and calm and all of its rewards, to make peace with the season of winter, and if you are able to, Jill also invites you to join her for about ten minutes of guided meditation at the very end of the show!

  • Join Jill for this heartfelt episode as she discusses the challenging energy that many are feeling post-election, offering guidance on getting through this dense, fog-like atmosphere. She highlights the importance of returning “home” to ourselves - reconnecting with compassion, love, and the truth that lies beyond opinions and judgments.

    Reflecting on the nature of compassion, she reminds us that we don’t need to understand someone else’s experience fully to offer empathy; the simple act of compassion can dissolve the barriers that keep us divided. Judgment may divide, but compassion and love have the power to heal and transform.

    As a reminder, Jill also discusses a unique experience that she is hosting very soon on November 14th, a light-hearted yet powerful “Grinch” event designed to help listeners tackle the holidays (or any season of life) without feeling overwhelmed. This FREE live workshop promises grounding practices to help reconnect to our breath, regulate our nervous systems, and face life’s challenges with calm resilience!
