288 - Hair Loss, Sound Baths, & Boob Jobs, Oh My!

Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special live podcast event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou, and discounted rooms are available at a boutique hotel right next door!

Jill catches listeners up a bit this week as she shares a personal life update and reflects on the fast-paced nature of summer, encouraging listeners to be intentional about being slow and savoring the remaining summer days and suggesting making a list of experiences they want to have before summer ends.

She also discusses some patterns that she has noticed in her life, like significant events often happening around July 21st. She shares updates on selling her home and her journey with menopause, including hair loss, weight gain, and hot flashes, highlighting the importance of tuning into your own body wisdom during this transition rather than following generic advice.

Jill also talks about an intensive four-day training that she recently completed on crystal alchemy singing bowls, describing the powerful experiences that she had including feeling ill during the training as her body went through an "energetic detox" to make space for her upcoming expansion.

In case you're wondering how crystal bowls even work, Jill has you covered, and she touches upon how her understanding of them has evolved. She even announces an upcoming virtual sound bath experience using the bowls which will be different from past offerings as she applies her new knowledge!
