In Episode 33, Jillie Johnston, a worthiness coach, international speaker, and advocate for joyful living, shares her journey from burnout to balance, emphasizing the transformative power of self-compassion and the courage to embrace imperfection. Jillie discusses the challenges of untying self-worth from productivity, navigating life’s transitions, and cultivating joy in uncertain times. She opens up about her experiences living a nomadic lifestyle in a van, the lessons it taught her about boundaries and fulfillment, and the importance of realigning with one’s values.
The conversation explores the pressures of ambition, the societal expectations placed on women, and the rebellious act of choosing authenticity over external “shoulds.” Jillie offers insights into recognizing burnout patterns, fostering self-awareness, and finding grounding moments in everyday life. This episode provides relatable stories and practical wisdom for anyone looking to balance ambition with well-being, navigate life’s pivots with grace, or redefine success on their own terms.
