A little chat about where I'm at and where the pod is at. We're in it over here ya'll. Hope you get my intended virtual hug out of this. Thanks, as always, for listening. xx, Jill p.s. please don't actually diagnose me lol

It's time to touch some grass.. I've been caught in the endless scroll cycle many times before, and breaking free from it takes more than just deleting the app. In my experience, it takes intention, strategy, and some self-honesty. In this episode, I share what’s actually helped me unplug: from setting boundaries and planning low-stimulation offline time, to re-entering the digital world w...

Back from a short, summery break. This week I’m sharing a few things I would gently tell my younger self she’s allowed to let go of; things like constant productivity, needing to know what’s next, or dressing to look small. These are the kind of pressures we tend to carry quietly for years, until we realize we have the power to drop them. I’m also including some snippets from friends and family ab...

This week, I’m inviting you into a mid-year reset. We're pausing at the halfway point, doing some reflecting, and realigning with what you want the second half of the year to include. I walk through some thought-provoking questions and share some of my own reflections and shifts from the year so far. Whether you’ve been having the best year ever or are just getting by, this episode is your gen...

In this week's episode, I talk through how I am channeling the dreamy, slow-paced energy of a European/East Coast summer without actually traveling to either. I’m talking about savoring the season through pleasure, simple luxuries, juicy, fresh fruit, espresso, and a wardrobe full of light linen and flip-flops. Let’s make this summer feel like a vacation, no matter where you are. Thank you for...

Welcome to  Hormone Happy Hour !  We’re keeping it simple this week and breaking down what’s actually happening in your body throughout the month (for women)  and  each day (for men). I walk through the four phases of the menstrual cycle with movement and nutrient tips for each, plus how men can support their daily hormone rhythm with habits and nutrition as well. Whether you're syncing your c...

In this week's episode, I'm discussing what's hot...and what's not. Think: tagging airlines in angry Instagram stories and being rude to people in customer service (not hot). What does it really  mean to embody “hot behavior.”? Spoiler: It has way less to do with looks and way more to do with energy, self-awareness, and how you treat people. Hope you enjoy the ep. Thanks for listen...

Today's episode is about creativity...for everyone. I talk about unlearning self-consciousness, letting go of perfection, and practicing being seen without performing. I’m working on releasing my grip on certainty and choosing to create, even when it’s messy or incomplete (which is always). This is your sign to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and just start. Thank you for listening! Talk to yo...

Lately, I’ve been focused on leveling up. Nothing extreme, just showing up with more consistency, structure, and honesty about what’s good for me. In this episode, I talk about simplifying your health because most of us are overcomplicating it and skipping the basics. I’m walking more, eating more real food, and taking ownership of the little things that actually move the needle. It’s not about pe...

Heyooo, first guest episode...and with none other than my twin brother, Ben! We talk about what it was like growing up side-by-side, comparison, childhood crush's, how twindom has expanded our perspectives and sooo much more. Plus, we get into a little about where he is at mentally before he steps into fatherhood in the next month. So grateful for the brother and friend that he is to me- and t...

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there! I took a short break on Friday but still wanted to pop in and share this stream of consciousness that nobody asked for. Hope you all have a nice week, and I'll talk to you Friday! xx, Jill www.bymonday.com

I’m deep in my “drafting” era, but that doesn’t mean I’m not keeping clear on the vision I have for my life. This episode is about faking it—not to fool anyone, but to stay connected to the version of me I’m becoming. It’s a little bit delusional, a little bit intentional, and fully part of the process. Thank you for listening! Talk to you next Friday, xx, Jill www.bymonday.com

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal remedy for when life feels a little off—what I'm calling “unfunking.” Going over some of the "tools" I reach for like ashwagandha and clean hair to comfort books, inspiring creators, and lowkey hangs. This is my gentle guide to shifting the vibe. No pressure to bounce back—just small, nourishing things that help me feel a little more like me....

This week we’re talking about what it’s like living as a chronic beginner. Always exploring new hobbies or ideas, but maybe never mastering them. I share about how I’m learning to find joy in trying new things, letting go of the pressure to be good at everything, and how I practice tuning into when it is worth sticking it out and harnessing discipline. Thank you for listening! Talk to you next Fri...

This week I talk about one of my favorite topics...solitude. I used to be really self-conscious about spending time alone, but I’ve really grown to love it. These days, I genuinely enjoy my own company, from solo movie dates to quiet moments at home, and I've learned that being alone doesn’t equate to being lonely. Embracing solitude has helped me build confidence, get clear on my thoughts, an...

Community has changed a lot for me over time—effortless in childhood but something I’ve had to intentionally cultivate as an adult. It’s evolved from being just about friendship to being more about connection, presence, and engaging beyond my immediate circle. Prioritizing it has meant showing up, starting conversations, and creating spaces for togetherness, however that may look. Hope you guys en...

Chatty, sleepy, overcast episode today. I talk through a bit of my health story and why I take the time to share about health and wellness on the pod. I also mix in a little theme about listening to your body. Reminder to go watch Mamma Mia! and report back on your happiness levels. Talk to you next Friday! xx, Jill www.bymonday.com

It's officially Spring. This week marks the start of the season and I’m fully embracing the shift into longer, warmer days. This week, I'm getting in the spirit by discussing al fresco activities, fresh foods, and small rituals like lighting candles or planning get-togethers. I’m focusing on balance, refreshing my space and wardrobe, and making space for creativity while easing into this next seas...

Surprise Monday episode! Had some tech issues with Spotify last week so thanks for hanging tight on this one. Buckle up, people. We're locking in this week. In today's episode, I talk about how quick the last ten years passed and my plan for getting clear on my goals and making intentional progress. From goal-dumping and removing self-imposed obstacles to staying consistent and sharing with the pe...

This week is simply for sharing some good news to combat the frankly overwhelming bad news flooding our screens. Some positive world news mixed with some small, daily wins. I hope you feel a spark of hope hearing these stories and take some time to celebrate women's history month however feels right to you. Talk to you guys next Friday! xx, Jill www.bymonday.com Sources: Totally forgot to save...

This week we're talking through days that you can plan into your month to create structure, fun, and balance (or harmony) in your life. Not all of these will apply! Some months you'll only fit one or two of these in. Planning out what your monthlies are is a great way to include some diversity in your month while still getting your sh*t done. Throwback Playlist Hope you all have a grrrreat weekend...

Time for an intervention...we're putting the phones down and heading to doomscroll rehab this week. Let's be honest. Phone addiction and excessive scrolling is a widespread problem that we're all in the midst of navigating. How to stay connected, where to draw the line, and how to keep up with a rapidly changing world without melting our brains. So let's talk about it. Hope you all...

I'll talk to you next Friday. xx, Jill www.bymonday.com Links/Sources: Cancer Research Institute Science Behind Houseplants Playlists 🎶 Sounds Like Honey My Life Is A Mov...

Biggg topic today. We're talking environmental toxins....What are they? How do we start decreasing them in our lives? And why should you even care to? This is a heavy topic and it can be a lot to wrap your head around what this looks like in your life. I hope you take 2 or 3 three things that you can implement out of this episode and leave feeling like you have a better understanding of how to sup...
