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 blend of reflection, humor, and raw honesty as she challenges the idea that obligation equals alignment, and she explores how fear hides inside "shoulds," old identities, habits, and even relationships, and why releasing them isn't selfish but is rather essential. From body image and health to money, work, and the invisible pressure of other people's opinions, she offers some grounded examples of what it can look like to draw a line and say, "No more." Listeners are encouraged to journal, visualize, and examine every corner of their lives as if watching a movie, noticing where they've been been neglecting their own truths.
Jill also shares a very personal reveal: after nearly five and a half years and over 300 episodes, she has decided to end the Be YOU podcast. This choice didn't come from burnout or strategy but rather from the same inner guidance that she has been teaching all along, and she speaks openly about what it means to follow a calling that makes no sense on paper but feels unmistakably right in the body. The decision, she says, is part of an even bigger change - one of reclaiming herself and funneling her creative energy into a new chapter of her life!
This episode of Be YOU is not about chasing a "new year, new you" fantasy but is rather about courage, honesty, and the freedom that comes from living in alignment. Before next week's vision-setting episode, Jill asks listeners to get very clear about what they are ready to release because the life that you want can't fully come into being while you're still holding onto what no longer belongs!
