In this episode, Keynote Speaker, Author, and Leadership Strategist, Debbie Simmons joins Jill O'Boyle for an honest conversation about burnout, surrender, trust, and learning how to stop living in survival mode.

After walking through infertility, the heartbreaking loss of her quadruplet sons, adoption, leadership challenges, and building a thriving ministry, Debbie shares the life-changing lessons God taught her about releasing control, embracing obedience, and finding peace in the middle of pressure. 

If you’re a high-achieving woman constantly hustling, carrying the weight of expectations, feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in “go mode,” this episode will help you pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Together, Jill and Debbie unpack:

•  How to move from survival mode into surrender 
•  Why high achievers often default to control and hustle 
•  The connection between identity, burnout, and trust 
•  Practical ways to quiet the noise and hear God’s voice 
•  What it means to leave a legacy instead of just chasing success

This conversation is filled with wisdom, faith, emotional healing, resilience, leadership insight, and practical encouragement for women navigating stress, burnout, grief, anxiety, purpose, and personal growth.

What happens when the life you’ve built starts to feel… off?

In this episode, I sit down with Nakeisha Washington, who shares her journey from 25 years in education to stepping into something completely new, all because she chose to listen to a quiet nudge that wouldn’t go away.

What started as a moment with her daughter turned into a bigger vision… but not without fear, doubt, and some hard in-between seasons.

This conversation is a reminder that purpose doesn’t always show up loud.
 Sometimes it’s a feeling you can’t shake, a pull toward more ...  a knowing that you’re meant for something different.

And the question becomes, will you listen?

What You’ll Take Away:

•  The “pull for more” is there for a reason, don’t ignore it 
•  You build confidence by moving, not waiting 
•  One step of obedience can change everything

In this fun, unfiltered “Bring Your Kid to Work Day” episode, Jill is joined by her two sons, Griffin and Brock, for a candid, hilarious, and surprisingly insightful conversation about life, stress, and what kids really think about their parents. 

You’ll hear conversations about:

•  Why kids think adults stress so much about money (and what they believe we should do instead) 
•  The pressures kids feel in sports—and the importance of believing in yourself 
•  The beauty of unplugging, getting outside, and seeing the bigger picture of life 
•  What kids wish parents understood
• And some unexpected nuggets of "wisdom" you didn't know you needed

This episode is a refreshing reminder that sometimes the most powerful perspective shifts come from the simplest voices.   From our living room to yours, press play for laughter, perspective and a whole lot of heart.

In this powerful episode of Your Life, Your Story – Rise Up Podcast, Jill sits down with life coach, former educator, and ministry leader Brittany Wayman for a real and refreshing conversation about burnout, boundaries, and building a life that flows from overflow, not exhaustion.

Both women know what it’s like to live in hustle mode. To serve, lead, achieve… and quietly feel drained, stretched thin, and spiritually dry. But what happens when God slows you down? What happens when burnout becomes the catalyst for transformation?

Brittany shares her journey from full-time ministry during COVID to launching SoulCare Coaching, the fear she had to confront, the limiting beliefs she had to surrender, and the power of community speaking truth when doubt gets loud.

Together, they unpack:

• Serving from overflow instead of depletion
• Setting healthy, holy boundaries — even in ministry
• The fear that tries to stop women from stepping into their calling
• What it looks like to boldly integrate faith and business

This episode is a reminder that burnout is often a warning light, not a failure, and that obedience, even when uncomfortable, leads to freedom.

If you’re a high-achieving woman who feels stretched thin, this conversation is for you.
