Soul Stories With Jill

This Earth Day episode is a personal reflection from Wellness Farmhouse on what it really means to live in connection with the earth. Instead of focusing on overwhelm or perfection, this conversation brings it back to simple, intentional living and the small shifts that truly make a difference. Jill shares how living closer to nature has changed the way she thinks about consumption, food, and daily habits, and how caring for the earth naturally supports your own health and healing. This episode is a gentle reminder that it doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful, and that real change starts with awareness and connection.

This week on Soul Stories with Jill, I sit down with my friend Andy White to share a story that can only be described as a miracle.

After coding for 14 minutes, Andy’s life hung in the balance. What followed was a journey through the unimaginable, including months in a coma, life support, and a road that doctors weren’t sure he would come back from.

But what happened next defies logic, expectation, and even medical explanation.

With thousands of people praying for him and a level of faith that’s hard to put into words, Andy’s story is one of resilience, divine intervention, and the undeniable power of belief.

This episode is the beginning of a new series on miracles, and it’s one that will leave you questioning what’s truly possible.

If you’ve ever needed a reminder that hope is real, that healing can happen, and that miracles still exist… this conversation is for you.

In this deeply honest and emotional conversation, Jill sits down with her friend Stacy Bennett to explore the layered journey of recovery, grief, and healing. Stacy shares her story of growing up in a home shaped by addiction, and the strength it took to eventually choose a different path for her own life.

They talk about what it means to break cycles, to choose sobriety, and to build a life rooted in awareness and intention. Stacy opens up about the difficult but necessary boundaries she had to place with her mother, and the complexity of loving someone while also protecting yourself.

One of the most tender parts of this episode is Stacy’s reflection on her mother’s passing. After time and distance between them, her mother died alone, and Stacy vulnerably shares the grief, guilt, and heartbreak that followed. She also speaks to the profound release she experienced during a recent retreat, where she was finally able to process and soften some of that pain.

This conversation is a reminder that healing is not linear. It is messy, human, and deeply personal. It is also a testament to the courage it takes to choose yourself, to hold boundaries, and to find compassion both for others and for your own journey.

If you have ever navigated complicated family dynamics, grief, or the path of recovery, this episode will meet you with understanding and truth.

This episodee felt like a fun one to release on April Fool’s Day, but like most things, it turned into a little more than just laughter.
We talk about where April Fool’s Day is believed to have started and how it turned into a tradition of pranks, jokes, and questioning everything you hear. I share some of the most well known pranks that have happened over the years and how easy it is to believe something when it’s delivered with confidence.

I also share a few playful ideas and moments that remind me just how fun and harmless a good prank can be… and how quickly things can feel real before we even stop to question them.

From stories on the massage table to everyday life, the body always tells the truth before the mind catches up. And even on a day meant for joking, there’s still that little voice that says don’t say it out loud… what if you jinx it and it actually happens.

This episode is light, playful, and also a gentle reminder to not take life so seriously, to laugh a little more, and to become aware of the stories we believe every single day.
Take what resonates, leave the rest… and maybe keep your guard up just a little today.

This week’s conversation is one of those that really makes you pause and reflect on the stories you’ve been telling yourself… and whether they’re actually serving you.

I’m joined by my friend Kim Drescoll, a Transformational Leadership Coach & Breathwork Facilitator. Kim has such a powerful way of bringing awareness to the beliefs we carry and the way we move through life. Together, we dive into the shift from “I have to” into “I get to,” and how something that simple can completely change your perspective, your energy, and your reality.

We talk about limiting beliefs and how often they’re not even ours to begin with. We explore what it looks like to consciously choose the stories you hold on to and the ones you’re ready to release. There are so many aha moments in this episode as we unpack how we tend to overcomplicate life, when in truth, things can begin to feel lighter and more aligned when we allow ourselves to just be.

We also get into what happens when we outsource our worth and our purpose, and how powerful it is to bring that back home to ourselves. This conversation is a reminder that you are not stuck, you are not limited, and you get to choose how your life feels.

If this episode spoke to you, I would love for you to share it with someone who might need to hear it too. And as always, take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and trust that whatever landed for you was exactly what you needed.

In this deeply heartfelt episode of Soul Stories with Jill, I sit down with a dear friend from a chapter of my life in St. Louis. Our husbands worked together, and although life took us in different directions for many years, and found each other again through Facebook. It truly felt meant to be.

She shares the story behind her book, The Soul’s Hole, and opens up about a deeply personal decision she made while in a dating relationship during a season of uncertainty. At the time, it felt like the only option. As life unfolded, and as she later became a wife and mother, she found herself revisiting that moment with new awareness, deeper emotion, and a calling to heal.

This conversation is not about judgment. It is about compassion, grace, and understanding that no decision in your life removes you from being loved. So many women carry silent shame and guilt, and this conversation is an invitation to release that weight and begin healing.

If you have ever struggled with something from your past that still lingers in your heart, this episode is for you. No matter your past, you are still worthy. No matter your choices, you are still chosen. Healing is always available to you.

Please share this episode with someone who may need this message. You never know who is quietly carrying something heavy. Your share could be the very thing that helps someone begin to heal.

In this episode of Soul Stories with Jill, Jill shares the unexpected emotional and energetic impact of inviting a professional organizing team, Sorted Sparrow, into her home.

After setting an intention to release anything that was no longer serving her, Jill found herself letting go of 11 bags of belongings and two pieces of furniture from just one area of her home.

What began as decluttering quickly turned into a deeper realization about how everything we own — and everything we consume mentally — takes our energy.

Jill also reflects on the current state of the world, the overwhelming amount of information many people are consuming, and why learning to regulate our nervous systems and guard our energy is more important than ever.

This episode explores:

• How clutter impacts our mental and emotional energy

• The connection between physical space and inner peace

• Why regulating the nervous system matters during stressful times

• Practical ways to guard your energy

• The importance of focusing on your own corner of the world

Sometimes the most powerful reset begins with simply letting go.

In this episode of Soul Stories with Jill, we explore the shift into spring and how longer days and warmer temperatures affect our bodies, mood, and energy. Jill shares how light impacts our circadian rhythm, serotonin levels, and overall motivation, and why spring often brings the instinct to purge and reset our spaces.

She also opens up about bringing in Sorted Sparrow to help organize her home and why creating a safe haven matters for your nervous system. The episode closes with a powerful story about a vulnerable conversation with an Uber driver and the reminder that kindness and presence can lead to unexpected miracles.

Spring is an invitation to clear space, open up, and let more light in.

This episode is a heartfelt reflection from the final ARC Retreat and the unexpected release I experienced while serving as a facilitator.

I share what it’s really like to hold space for others and then find yourself cracking open too. The guilt that can creep in when you’re the one “working” the retreat but also needing the medicine. The realization that healing is never one-sided. When we gather with intention, every single person in the space is being moved, shifted, and softened in some way.

I talk about the beauty of the weekend. The perfect weather. The saltwater pool. Slipping in and out of the water between sessions, letting the sun and salt do their quiet work on my nervous system. The sacred in-between moments that remind us we are not machines. We are human. We feel. We release.

Most of all, this episode is about light.

What would happen if each of us went home and simply shared our light? If we healed our little corner of the world. If we stopped trying to fix everything globally and instead focused on loving well locally.

There will always be darkness. But the more light we embody and share, the brighter this world becomes.

This conversation is an invitation to release what you’re holding, to let yourself receive even when you’re the one who usually gives, and to shine right where you are.

If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs a reminder that their light matters.

This is the most- listened-to podcast to date, so of course, since we just celebrated Valentine’s Day, I had to release it again. I open with a PSA, so make sure to pay attention to that and enjoy this beautiful story of curveballs and love.
