Be You Podcast

What happens when we ignore our grief and choose to numb instead? What does it mean when we are binge-eating but we are living the picture-perfect life? Why do we continue to miss out on life for the sake of success?    There's a lot going on in this episode and I am thrilled to be having this real conversation with Michelle Pfile. We decided together for this interview to not have any direction a...

We all do this. We encounter a woman who exudes confidence and instead of seeing them for who they are, we feel attacked. There's like a secret code we live by as women where we play small, hide, and consciously choose to bury our own confidence. When we do that, we are not living life fully self-expressed. But when women start breaking that code, there will be others who feel threatened.   In thi...

What does it mean to use old maps and to leak our energy? I will admit that I had no idea what any of that meant until recently but when I learned what it means, I know that I have been guilty of it for a long time. This episode is not one that I really want to do, but I know that it is what's right to talk about today. In typical Be You fashion, I'm uncomfortable, honest, and raw as I'm doing thi...

Society often tells us how we should think and feel. I've been guilty of judging others for things I have no business judging them for. And I've definitely been on the other side of things: being judged for what I believe and how I feel. In today's episode, we discuss the desire for everyone to think for themselves. There are two sides to every argument and we need to be able to judge for ourselve...

In this podcast journey, every now and then I have an experience and I just know I need to bring it to Be You. Today's episode comes from a conversation with a friend and the question that was asked of her that stopped her dead in her tracks. It did that to me, too, and it all comes full circle. I've talked about in past episodes about finding the evidence in experiences of signs and the hand of o...

I hope that we can get to the point where we can honor the journeys of other people while honoring our own truth and let both be true at the same time. That being said, in this extremely raw episode, I'm going someplace that I did not expect to go on the podcast yet. I felt the nudge and heard the whisper and as uncomfortable as I am, this episode is meant to happen now.   You're here because you...

The idea for this episode was inspired by a text conversation with a dear friend. Isn't it funny how things like that happen? I knew immediately that I needed to talk about it in today's episode and that is the idea of choosing happiness.   Many of us, myself included, have lived our lives not accessing the happiness that is right there. It is right there in front of us and we can actually choose...

The more I have grown and accepted myself, the more confident I have become. And with that confidence, I have needed less support from others. Yes, I still need my people to cheer me on, but before I started this work, I wanted everyone in my corner and on my side. Over the years I have chased friendships with people who were not truly my people and reflecting back in this episode, you'll find tha...

You will not believe what happened to me. I was given an opportunity to make a really big choice for YOU, the Be You Collective and it was hard, but I set a firm boundary. You see, if I can't be the type of person who puts into practice the things I'm telling you to work on, then I don't deserve your company. So today, I took a risk and I feel great about it.    In today's episode, I share an expe...

Have you ever heard of Ho'oponopono? I've heard about it many times, but until recently, I just wasn't ready to actually learn more about it. But through the guidance of a coach, I looked more into it and put it into practice. Immediately, I was blown away.   In today's episode, I share the story behind the Ho'oponopono practice. What is it? Why is it important? Why should you consider it? How can...

After last week's amazing episodes with Jenn Kautsch, I want to take a moment to talk about somatic work. I know it seems like a tough topic after the recent gut punch you may have experienced with uncomfortable episodes, but I promise that it is a really light discussion. A light episode on a hard topic. Today isn't about how to process trauma; it's about why you deserve to move through it.   Rem...

Welcoming back Jenn Kautsch for another amazing episode, we dive into what you can do about your relationship with alcohol. If you have not listened to episode 154, take a moment to do so because learning Jenn's story was eye-opening and I know that there are millions of women who are living the life Jenn used to lead.   Sober Sis founder, Jenn Kautsch, is a pioneer in this movement of sober-minde...

When seeing the glow of a friend I ran into, I was connected with someone who is changing the lives of so many women. In this episode, Jenn Kautsch joins me and it is a real gift. But know that some gifts come in the form of triggers, challenges, and discomfort. Today we are talking about a sensitive topic: the gray area of drinking alcohol. It's not really a problem. Or is it? There's so much to...

What is something you are feeling a nudge about? Sometimes we get these ideas, thoughts, and feelings about doing something but we hold ourselves back from doing it. This is usually out of fear and it is totally understandable. Risks can be hard to take but I'm here to tell you that we all take risks in every decision we make. So knowing that what is that one thing that you always think about? The...

As we grow and evolve, it is crucial to revisit some topics. These topics may look different for each person, but what I know to be true is that we all deal with head trash. That's why I've decided to post episode 103 here as an encore episode, but with a little twist. What I have discovered is that through this journey, I've learned even more about this topic of head trash and listening to this e...

What an amazing way to start this next chapter after the first 50 episodes. I was recently a guest on Project Me with Tiffany Carter and I knew immediately that I needed her here on Be You. I am honored to have spent over an hour on this interview with her. It felt less like an interview and more like conversations with a great friend.    Tiffany Carter is the host of Project Me podcast and a busi...

Today is the day we celebrate 50 episodes of the Be You Podcast! My vibe and energy are so high and I am downright giddy. In this episode, I thank those who have helped me along this journey, share this milestone with you who have helped make this possible, and encourage you to follow your intuition like I did. It hasn't all been easy, but it has been so worth it. By acknowledging my fear and push...

In true Be You Podcast fashion, we're getting a little uncomfortable today. You're probably looking at the title and thinking, "Well, that's not too bad, Jill. How is that uncomfortable?" It can be, because today I am challenging your belief system on the topic of givers and takers.   Through personal stories and experiences, I demonstrate in this episode the many ways we can show up as givers and...

Why is it so difficult for some of us to say, "I'm sorry?" Why do we sometimes feel like we need to justify it? I've shown up this way. It is so easy to fall into that pattern of saying sorry but not truly apologizing in a way that shows empathy or acknowledges the other person's feelings in any way. Why is it so hard for some of us to show empathy and acknowledge their pain even when we don't und...

Are you ready for a new favorite Be You Podcast episode? This specific episode is so powerful and eye-opening. During this almost-hour-long interview with today's guest, I learned so much and am thrilled to share it with you.   Today's guest is Carah Elizabeth. Carah Elizabeth is a Body Wisdom Coach. She incorporates her years as a psychotherapist with holistic approaches such as Somatic Movement,...

Are we really woke or awakened or pretending? Are we using it as a weapon to judge others? Believe me when I say that there are many arenas in this world where elitism shows up. And I've been there. I've been the one being judged and I have been the one doing the judging. Most of the time it comes from a good place, but when your ego becomes involved, you have to be careful.   In this episode, we...

Have you started that inner work on yourself? Do you feel like you've messed up too badly to ever make positive growth? I'm here to tell you that it is never too late to get started on loving yourself.   Today I share an experience that opened my eyes to what today's episode needed to be about. It was a sign, although not easy or clear, but it was a sign to talk about starting this journey for the...

Can you relate? I have a reputation of always being late. I don't like the feeling, but somehow I wind up late every time. Now, I'm better about this in the last year or so, but because I've discovered why I am chronically late. It is a form of self-sabotage.   We know it is rude and it doesn't land well for other people and while it may seem like a passive aggressive attack on the other person, i...

As I was contemplating this episode and deciding on the topic of discussion, it was given to me. We already know about triggers and our inner child and looking inward. We know about all of that. But why are we doing this? Why are we going through coaching and personal development? We don't need to be improved.    We talk a lot about excavating the true self here on the Be You Podcast. That's the r...

Sometimes our intuition tells us something we don't want to hear. Sometimes signs lead us to where we are meant to be and we don't want to listen. I know, because I am there. In a previous episode, I explained how signs were leading me to something that I never considered for myself. Today I dive deeper into that topic because I decided to go for it and I was absolutely terrified.   In today's epi...
