312 - Asking for Signs and Guidance About 2026


Listen Later

It's the end of January, and Jill is here to pause the momentum of her current New Year series to offer something a little bit different – an invitation to stop and ask for help. After weeks of reflecting on 2025, easing into 2026, and clearing physical and emotional clutter, Jill introduces a "pattern interrupt" or a week devoted not to doing more but rather to opening ourselves to guidance from whatever each of us understands as infinite love, source energy, God, or support beyond ourselves. Jill highlights that every person has a sovereign relationship with their own form of guidance and that the language which we use is far less important than the willingness to ask.

Jill also shares how reading the book Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe unexpectedly unlocked a shift for her, not by teaching her anything new but by affirming a way of living that she already takes on: being receptive to messages via everyday experiences, strangers, nature, and intuition. She reflects on the difference between trusting intuition and constantly seeking external validation and how she previously believed that she didn't need "signs" because she trusted her intuition. She shares, however, her surprise at having realized that asking for specific, clear signs isn't about doubt or testing the universe but rather about play, curiosity, and expanding our relationship with guidance from the universe.

Jill explores reasons why so many of us miss signs even when they're right in front of us (stress, disconnection, nervous system overload, and lack of trust), and she offers some practical ways to create the right conditions for receiving guidance whether through journaling, quiet time, prayer, or simply being more present. This episode of the podcast is sure to set the tone for what's coming next in the series: releasing what no longer fits, naming what we're done with, and making room for what we truly want for 2026!
