Tune in this week as Jill gets real about the first time in nearly five years that she didn’t show up for an episode and why it actually felt completely okay and guilt-free! From the unexpected loss of her family dog Lola, to house issues, and her dad’s terminal cancer leading to hospice, life truly demanded her attention and bandwidth, and she shares how allowing herself to pause gave her some clarity, space, and perspective. She also opens up about the chaos behind the scenes of launching her upcoming Be YOU live event, including website struggles with a contractor who locked her out and how she stayed grounded even while everything seemed to go sideways!

Beyond the challenges, Jill reflects on the power of feeling your emotions fully while staying detached from the outcome, allowing frustration and anger to move through you instead of being suppressed. She shares how surrendering to what is allowed her to maintain confidence, trust the process, and step into her role as the host of a powerful, transformative event for women.

Listeners will also get a behind-the-scenes look at the Be YOU live event on October 25th, which will of course mark the 300th episode of the show, truly a rare milestone in podcasting. Jill breaks down the tiered ticket pricing, VIP sellouts, discounted hotel rooms, and the opportunity to connect with other women from across the U.S. and Canada before the event, and she also highlights what attendees can expect, including a space for reclamation, reconnection, celebration, and authentic self-expression without religious overtones or forced activities.

This episode of the podcast is all about showing up for yourself even when life is messy, holding space for others while trusting your own power, and embracing the art of the “both/and conversation” - feeling deeply while surrendering to what is. Tune in to hear the story behind the ups and downs of launching this upcoming event and the lessons that it’s teaching Jill!
