Join Jill in this final episode of 2024 of Be YOU as she invites you into a truly reflective space, guiding you through wrapping up this year with heart and intention and moving into the new year. As the holiday season comes to a close, listen as Jill highlights why it's important to engage in self-care, setting boundaries, and honoring the lessons that you may have learned over this year.
Instead of rushing immediately into New Year's resolutions as many of us tend to do, Jill encourages listeners to pause and release whatever it is that no longer serves you, express gratitude for lessons learned, and of course celebrate the wins and positive memories that so many of us tend to overlook.
Jill focuses on reflection and release – two incredibly important steps to help ensure a clean slate going into the new year. She welcomes listeners to a calming ritual which guides you to pause, breathe, and reflect on your own personal experiences over this last year, and she invites everyone to take a moment and reflect, to ground, and to clear space for what's to come in 2025.

Jill welcomes you this week as she discusses the current winter season. With the Winter Solstice coming up (which is, of course, the shortest day and longest night of the winter), she discusses her reasons for personally loving winter and how she regards it as a time for slowing down and reflecting. If you go outside during the winter, you will notice that nature takes this time to pause and be still, but humans so often don’t. Why is that?
Society tends to encourage us to keep going and pushing on, but it’s so important that we honor slowing down and becoming insular because it helps enhance our health in multiple ways, including physically, mentally, and spiritually. So many of us don’t not only because of external pressures but also because trying to be still can drive us crazy which is why Jill encourages conscious, committed, and consistent effort.
Jill encourages listeners to allow themselves to really embrace winter and to be still, but what exactly does that mean? She gives some examples such as becoming more insular, focusing on rest and nourishment, limiting social media and phone usage, and spending time outdoors even when it’s cold. She discusses why it’s important to connect with nature and to be outdoors more often, especially for people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder.
This episode of Be YOU is an invitation for you, an invitation to give yourself the gift of winter stillness and calm and all of its rewards, to make peace with the season of winter, and if you are able to, Jill also invites you to join her for about ten minutes of guided meditation at the very end of the show!
Show Notes:
[1:32] - Today’s episode is about winter.
[3:04] - Learn what inspired Jill to do this episode.
[5:43] - “In winter stillness, the body whispers what the soul needs most - rest, reflection, and renewal.”
[7:52] - The Earth uses winter to restore its energy.
[10:47] - Stillness, for some of us, requires adjustment and embodiment.
[11:49] - Jill encourages listeners to tune into their bodies and acknowledge what they’re feeling.
[13:37] - A way to connect with oneself is to connect to nature.
[16:11] - Jill encourages listeners that there are rewards to be experienced in the spring by being still in the winter.

She highlights that while this practice may seem simple or even uncomfortable at first, it’s so important for emotional and physical healing, and she talks about how many of us are disconnected from our bodies due to trauma, living in hyper-vigilant states, and how tuning in can help release long-held tensions.
In addition to the healing process, Jill highlights the profound benefits that come from this work, including joy, bliss, and clarity. As she steps fully into her role as a trauma-informed coach, she also announces exciting upcoming virtual experiences and retreats, designed to make these transformative practices more accessible to everyone!

Listen in this week as Jill brings us back to episode 158 of the podcast in which she shares some personal reflections on codependency, using her experience with chickens as a powerful metaphor. After her podcast gained significant success, ranking in the top 100 out of 2 million shows, Jill discusses a truly humbling moment when she forgot to record an insightful episode, leading her to contemplate the deeper lessons in her life!
She begins by recounting her journey of raising chickens on her 30-acre property in rural Indiana. Through funny and touching stories about bonding with her chickens, Jill explores how her care for them mirrors her tendency to neglect her own needs. This connection serves as a lens for understanding codependency, particularly her struggle with feeling responsible for others' happiness, including her children.
As she learns to care for her chickens without overextending herself, Jill uncovers a critical truth, which is that we often take on others' burdens, believing that we can shield them from pain, with the reality being that this only prolongs their lessons and reinforces our own patterns of guilt. By stepping back and allowing her chickens – and, of course, by extension, her loved ones - to face their challenges, Jill gains clarity on how to foster self-worth and set healthy boundaries.
Tune in for a blend of lighthearted anecdotes and profound insights in this episode, as Jill encourages everyone to reflect on their own relationships and personal growth. Through her honest storytelling, Jill invites us to examine how we care for ourselves and others, while embracing the important lessons that life presents!

Jill takes us back to episode 177 this week in which she delivers a powerful message about having compassion for ourselves, urging us to break free from the relentless cycle of self-criticism and perfectionism.

Rather than constantly trying to "fix" or change ourselves, Jill suggests that the path to true growth and happiness comes from accepting and loving who we are, as we are!
Jill discusses the concept of letting go of the pressure to always improve and instead embracing a gentler, more compassionate approach to personal development. She shares a poignant analogy and compares the effort to heal while still criticizing oneself to trying to cure a wound with the same knife that caused the injury.
