Listen in this week as we revisit episode 93 of Be YOU. Given the devastating news about her father that Jill shared in her last episode, she felt that this episode’s topic was a perfect one to revisit - the importance and the beauty of embracing whatever season of life that you’re in, no matter how difficult that it may be. ​​This episode stresses the fact that each person's journey and the seasons that they go through in life will look different, but it's always important to keep in mind that there is divine purpose in every season and that regardless if things are progressing slowly or quickly, it's how they were meant to progress. Jill encourages listeners to surrender to and fully experience the season that they are in, rather than wishing it away or trying to spiritually bypass the difficult emotions.

Jill clarifies, however, that this does not mean burying your head in the sand and giving up on your dreams or goals but rather embodying the vibration of what you desire while also honoring the present moment. She shares that learning to put yourself first without guilt or apology is one of the greatest acts of love you can give yourself and even those around you.

This oldie but goodie from 2021 reminds listeners to avoid comparing their journey to others and to simply focus on swimming their own race, trusting that everything is unfolding as it should. Remember, your time will come!
