Be You Podcast

Jill ushers in the end of an era as she decides to close the Be YOU chapter, bringing the podcast to a heartfelt close with this emotional episode in which Jill reflects on the podcast’s journey over the last 5+ years and thanks those who have been part of it. Jill discusses what it means to end something beautiful without drama or a backup plan but just because it feels right. She shares why closing the podcast isn’t a loss but rather an example of everything she has taught and lived these past few years: surrender, trust, and honoring intuition.

315 - Finally! Year of the Fire Horse Arrives! show art 315 - Finally! Year of the Fire Horse Arrives!

Be You Podcast

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...

Be You Podcast

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...

Be You Podcast

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...

312 - Asking for Signs and Guidance About 2026 show art 312 - Asking for Signs and Guidance About 2026

Be You Podcast

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...

311 - Why It’s Still 2025 & How to Take Advantage of This Time show art 311 - Why It’s Still 2025 & How to Take Advantage of This Time

Be You Podcast

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”...

310 - Why We Embrace The Void Before The Year of The Horse show art 310 - Why We Embrace The Void Before The Year of The Horse

Be You Podcast

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...

We are getting so close to the upcoming BE YOU event celebrating five years and 300 episodes of the podcast, and this week, Jill is providing listeners with some important details - both reminders and updates - about the event. She stresses that while this episode is primarily for listeners who are definitely going to the event, everyone else is invited to listen as well in case you’re on the fence about whether or not you want to go and/or just want an idea of the energy and atmosphere that will be experienced at the event.

Jill encourages listeners to find ways to seek out the same sense of authenticity, connection, and support that will be present at the event, whether it be through creating your own gatherings or your own social circles, and she stresses that the event is about dropping masks, letting go of competition and comparison, and simply being yourself!

For those who are attending the event, listen in as Jill provides some helpful details, from the event schedule to the dress code (which is essentially no dress code at all). She promises attendees that the event is designed to make them feel safe, seen, and held, without any pressure for vulnerability or deep work beyond what they are comfortable with. She also shares her vision for the event, a place where women can simply be themselves without feeling a need to perform or impress.

Ultimately, Jill invites listeners to fully embrace the opportunity, whether attending the event or finding ways to create a similar experience in your own lives, and she passionately encourages an attitude of openness, surrender, and trust in the process as she promises that the event will be a transformative and literally unique experience!

Join Jill for a short and sweet episode this week as she discusses the importance of being mindful of our words. She invites listeners to join her in a special exercise over the next few weeks, explaining that she feels called to do a "tuneup,” or a period of self-reflection and reprogramming of her mindset. Jill encourages listeners to make a thorough list of all their worries, fears, and negative thought patterns. After releasing that via writing, she suggests connecting with nature, doing some movement and breathwork, and then reframing those negative thoughts into positive affirmations.

Jill highlights the power of our words and how they can shape our reality, sharing some examples of how speaking positively, even exaggeratedly, about relationships and situations can help manifest that reality. Listeners are invited to write out these positive affirmations, display them, and read them aloud daily, connecting to a higher power or their own inner wisdom!

Jill reveals how she plans to do this exercise alongside listeners over the next two months, sharing the changes that she notices not just in herself but also in the people and circumstances around her. She encourages listeners to make this practice their own and trust their intuition.

Jill also, of course, reminds listeners that there are still tickets available for the upcoming live 300th episode event! Get your ticket now before it's too late!
