273 - Practicing the Art of Surrender

In this episode of Be YOU, Jill opens up about the raw and uncomfortable process of learning to surrender - on vacation, in business, and in the body. From the frustration of getting sick during a long-anticipated family trip to the vulnerable moments of launching a new program that doesn’t meet initial expectations, her discussion this week touches upon what it means to let go of control without giving up hope.

Jill takes listeners through an honest look at how disappointment, especially when something you deeply care about doesn’t happen according to plan, can become a doorway to deeper self-awareness. With her upcoming Plot Twist: Only Moms Edition, Jill examines why it’s so hard for moms to prioritize themselves and what it feels like to create something meaningful while also staying open to how it’s received.

Jill also offers reflection on the body’s quiet wisdom and how illness sometimes arrives not as a punishment but rather as a release after long periods of pushing. Whether it’s resting instead of grinding or embracing uncertainty, this episode is a thoughtful take on the value of slowing down and listening in, and while Jill is saving one particularly big update until next week, she offers a hint, so stay tuned, and remember,Plot Twist: OnlyMoms Edition is coming soon!
