Be You Podcast

Join Jill this week as she revisits an episode from January 2021 where she discusses the transformative journey sparked by her recent workshop masterclass, which has blossomed into a supportive and vibrant community for women! She shares her excitement about the unexpected success of the workshop held and invites listeners to join this growing network, emphasizing the importance of self-promotion without guilt!

Listen as Jill discusses the workshop's key themes, including stepping out of comfort zones and breaking free from the ways that we buffer and numb ourselves. She highlights how participants are challenging themselves in unique ways, from taking cold showers to driving different routes and even altering their daily habits like drinking coffee with the non-dominant hand, all small but significant actions that can help you create new neural pathways and experience personal growth!

Jill focuses primarily on the concept of numbing - how we go through life on autopilot, missing out on the richness of the present moment. Jill explores various forms of numbing, such as overindulgence in food, alcohol, and media, and delves into the more subtle, everyday autopilot behaviors that prevent full self-expression and joy.

Hear practical examples of how the women in the workshop, including Jill herself, are embracing discomfort to foster growth. From mixing up their daily routines to experimenting with their personal style, they are actively working to break free from familiarity and its binds.

Moreover, Jill reflects on the importance of intuition and following one's heart, sharing a personal decision to turn down a business opportunity that, while logical, didn't feel right in her heart. This decision underscores the episode's central theme: true growth and joy come from listening to oneself and making intentional, sometimes uncomfortable choices.Tune in for an inspiring and relatable discussion on how to cultivate joy, break free from numbing behaviors, embrace the fullness of life, and live more authentically!
