What if thriving isn’t about perfection—but about being brave enough to be known?
In this honest episode of the Collide Podcast, we sit down with Jillian DeBritz to talk about what it truly means to thrive. As a personal development coach and self-proclaimed recovering perfectionist, Jillian opens up about her own journey toward emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual wholeness. She shares powerful insights on shame, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to invite others into our “in-process” places. Whether you’re struggling to measure up, hiding parts of your story, or longing for deeper connection, this conversation will remind you that healing starts when we allow ourselves to be fully seen.
Jillian is a personal development coach who longs to offer hope and build courage through the words she writes and the stories she shares. She believes in the transformative power of vulnerability and the freedom that comes when we choose to disarm shame. Her voice is a gentle but bold invitation to redefine what it means to live whole, brave, and fully alive.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to perform, to hide your struggles, or to “get it together” before you can be loved, this episode will offer a refreshing breath of grace. You’ll be reminded that you don’t have to be perfect to be whole—and that being truly known is where the healing begins.
