2022-11-2837 minBe You Podcast134 - Why We Critique and Mock Confident WomenWe 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 this episode of Be You, I share personal experiences of how I have felt attacked by the confidence of other women. I also share the...

2021-12-131h 10Be You Podcast81 - Proudly Being Too Much and High MaintenanceI have been guilty of buying into the programming that it is bad to be high maintenance. Have you? The term has this negative connotation and we judge other women for seeming to be "too much." But secretly we want the things we want. Why should we be ashamed of that? In this episode, I admit that this is something I'm working on and practicing daily. I encourage you to do the same. Stop apologizing for wanting the things you want, even if they seem to be too much. Don't deny yourself the things that make you happy out...
2021-07-2922 minBe You Podcast80 - How My Multi-Million Dollar Network Marketing Career Really EndedNot everything has to be let go or erased, yet everything from the past that holds some sort of emotional charge and brings back painful memories, does deserve to be revisited so we can make peace with it. It is crucial to process things that happen to you. Trust me, I've lived with resentment and unprocessed anger. It's not worth it. And to be perfectly honest, it's easy to let your ego take over and hold on tight to that resentment. But that's what this episode is about. Today, I'm laying it all out on the table. You've heard...

But I do tend to have an outline of bullet points as I prepare each discussion. Today is different. This episode isn't edited and I have no outline to guide me. It is truly a stream of consciousness and freeflow. This topic is hard. From someone who admittedly used to be extremely judgemental regarding divorce, I know that this is a trigger for a lot of people. But today, I share with you my experience with divorce. Divorce...
2021-07-191h 01Be You Podcast77 - God GogglesWe've discussed the question, "Where was God in that situation?" when thinking about past experiences. This is an important question to ask, but what about the present moment? I heard a friend call this "God Goggles," and that term has changed my way of thinking in profound ways. Now we can look at current situations, people who are dear to us, and even at ourselves through the lens of our Creator. This lens is one of love and you will find yourself throwing judgement out the window. In today's episode, we're starting the conversation about God Goggles in reference...
2021-07-1528 minBe You Podcast76 - How to Stop Chasing the Bucket ListIn this quick episode, I'm shaking things up a bit. I was recently asked to write an article for a magazine about goals and bucket lists. They wanted to know how to achieve these lofty goals, but I wasn't feeling called to take that approach. Instead, I wrote an article about making yourself the bucket list. Don't forget that I am partnering with Supercast for a spin-off channel which will give you more access to me and even more content that you won't find here on the podcast. It's so much of a deeper dive...

I was showing up as an emotional dumper, oversharer, and total energy vampire. What does that mean? Well that's what this episode is all about. It could be that you are like this or that you care about someone who is. In this episode, we discuss what it means to overshare, which is different from drama and gossip. I also give you tools for your toolbox on how to talk to someone you care about who tends to overshare and dump their emotions on you. They...

What if I told you that what you think are your core beliefs might be hiding the truth? Today's episode, we dive into subconscious thoughts, effort, and energy that shows our true core beliefs. After all the work I had done for years, I'm just discovering things about my own core beliefs and the fear that is hidden behind them. For example, I've always been a perfectionist. Turns out that the core belief...
2021-06-2829 minBe You Podcast71 - The Truth About LiesI am now the first to admit that I used to be a "liar, liar, pants on fire." Not my proudest accomplishment, but having learned so many things about myself, I now know why I would lie and how to have uncomfortable conversations with other people when I know they aren't being truthful. We have all lied. And if you say you have never lied… you're lying. I used to justify my habit because they weren't "big" lies and I did not tell them with the intent to hurt anyone. But even using the term "li...

Things will keep repeating themselves until we truly learn them and then we will be tested. Well, that's what happened to me. I was tested and I failed miserably. Although looking back at my experience today makes me laugh and likely will make you laugh, too, the lesson is clear. In my case, I knew better but I still didn't follow my intuition. So in today's episode, I share how I ignored the...
2021-06-1432 minBe You Podcast67 - Worry is a Magnet For All That You FearI am confident that many if not most of us worry. Everyone worries to different extremes, but if you are not the type of person who worries, I can't relate. But what does that worrying mean and what can we do about it? In this episode, we discuss what worrying is actually doing to our minds and bodies. Remember that there is only love and fear, so where does worry fit in? It certainly doesn't come from love and when we worry we are calling out and beckoning the things we stress over right to...

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 this difficult work alongside you. In this episode, we discuss leaky...
2021-05-3146 minBe You Podcast63 - Stop Letting Them Tell You How to THINKSociety 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 ourselves and make our own decisions. This episode may be polarizing and triggering for some of you and that's okay. What...

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 it. But as with so many other things, we let our brains get in the way and we let our worries...

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 that you might be hanging on as well.

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.

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.

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.
