In this week’s episode of Be YOU, Jill really reaches a turning point in the 2026 Year of the Firehorse series: the moment in which we are shedding what no longer serves us. Over the past eight weeks, the podcast has been clearing space, confronting discomfort, and removing ourselves from the expectations, patterns, and attachments that hold us back, and now, we move into claiming the life that we have been imagining - honestly, vividly, and without apology! Jill imagines with her listeners Saturdays that unfold effortlessly, Mondays that begin with presence and intention, and moments that...

As the Year of the Firehorse approaches and Jill continues with this miniseries, she invites listeners into a powerful pause - one that doesn’t rush toward what’s next but first asks what must be left behind. This episode centers on a bold question: what are you truly done with? Not the polite answers, not the socially acceptable ones, but the truths that you feel in your body when no one else is watching. Jill explains why clarity around what no longer fits is the necessary doorway to creating a life that actually feels like yours! Throughout this discussion, Jill brings in her usual...

Join Jill this week as she ushers in February, reminding us that it’s still the Year of the Snake and that many of us are shedding which can truly be a challenging process. Rather than rushing to set intentions for the Year of the Fire Horse, she instead invites listeners to slow down and notice what is ready to fall away before the next chapter begins. This episode centers on a simple but powerful premise: we don’t move forward cleanly without first naming what we’re done carrying, and Jill offers a guided list of questions for listeners to ask themselves designed to help them identify...

It’s the end of January, and Jill is here to pause the momentum of her current New Year series to offer something a little bit different – an invitation to stop and ask for help. After weeks of reflecting on 2025, easing into 2026, and clearing physical and emotional clutter, Jill introduces a “pattern interrupt” or a week devoted not to doing more but rather to opening ourselves to guidance from whatever each of us understands as infinite love, source energy, God, or support beyond ourselves. Jill highlights that every person has a sovereign relationship with their own form of...

Jill returns to talking about the New Year this episode as she reframes the start of the year by separating what the calendar says from what the body, spirit, and nervous system are actually experiencing. While the 1st of January might mark a date change as per the Gregorian calendar, Jill explains why she doesn’t energetically follow it and how aligning with the lunar calendar reveals that many of us are still finishing the work of the previous year. If January has felt heavy, confusing, or unexpectedly intense, Jill offers a compassionate perspective on why delayed emotional “shedding”...

We are halfway through January already, and Jill invites listeners into a gentler, more intentional way of approaching the new year, one that says no to urgency, pressure, and the push to immediately produce results. Speaking to both longtime listeners and those who are just finding the show, she reintroduces her idea of “wintering”: a conscious pause marked by rest, quiet, and reflection as an active, not a passive, practice. She shares how choosing not to rush forward has already begun to shift things for her in really big ways. Via some personal stories, including a recent loss and a...
