LET’S DIVE IN. 🖤
Hey Hey Sisterhood!!! I’m so excited to introduce you to a dear friend of mine - life + business coach, Jillian Clothier but before I tell you about her and we get into this amazing discussion…I want to remind you that ENROLLMENT IS OPEN for the VERY FIRST SISTERHOOD RETREAT.
A couple things you need to know if you haven’t heard -
This Aug 30th - Sept 2nd I’m hosting an INTIMATE GROWTH BASED RETREAT.
It’s all inclusive minus the travel to get to the retreat here in Tampa, FL
AND I’m only taking the first 10 women who enroll so it’s GOING to be intimate and you’re GOING to want to snag your spot bc once the 10 are gone, enrollment closes.
Think SELF CARE meets GROWTH meets COMMUNITY. We’re taking out all the woo woo things a retreat might get a bad rap for and we’re meeting the woo with the WORK. I want you to walk away from these three days with a VISION for your BEST SELF + the goals SHE HAS, but also a PATHWAY to move toward her when you get home.
the pathway to progress retreat is designed to immerse you in an intimate 3-day experience with 9 other women who deeply desire to GROW, EVOLVE, + MAKE PROGRESS… all while remembering to care for themselves - mind, body, + spirit - in the process. THIS retreat is intentionally curated to feel like an exhale all while empowering you to RISE UP to your best, most authentic self.
THIS IS FOR…👯♀️
✻the BUSY WOMAN. Juggling career, family, personal growth, all the things. And you’re seeking a retreat to pause and realign with your passions and calling.
✻the DREAMER. Bursting with ideas, you want a space that helps you turn all of those ideas into manageable action steps so you can LIVE YOUR DREAMS OUT…not just think about them.
✻the LOVING MAMA. Nurturing others and you often leave yourself on the back-burner, you know it’s time to give yourself a pause so you can LIVE OUT THE EXAMPLE you desire to be for your family.
✻the CAREGIVER. Giving so much to others leaves you depleted. And you need this retreat to replenish your spirit and remind you of your worth.
✻the GOAL GETTER. Focused and driven, you thrive on setting ambitious goals and taking strategic steps to achieve them. But…in all the hustle and bustle of your busy life, sometimes you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or losing sight of your priorities. And you know this retreat will provide with the clarity, inspiration, and support you need to realign with her vision, refocus her energy, and create a tangible pathway to success.
Regardless of your individual background, day to day life, roles + responsibilities, unique challenges, or desired future, the goal of this retreat is for each woman to walk away with a renewed sense of PURPOSE, CLARITY, + OWNERSHIP over her life. SO…IF THAT’S YOU…
Okay…back to today’s show - CHOOSING YOU w/ my good friend Jillian Clothier:
Today you might see Jillian and watch how much light, energy, and fulfillment she wakes up with, but life wasn’t always that way. She found herself at age 35 waking up and realizing she had spent much of her adult life checking the boxes society told her to check. Go to school. Get the job. Meet your person. Get married. Have the kids. Buy the house. But at age 35 she stumbled upon a box of old business plans she wrote when she was 24 and realized that she wasn’t living in alignment with her true callings and desires. Over the last 6 years, Jillian got to work and has built an incredible business out of coaching and leading others into THEIR LIGHT, THEIR GIFTS, THEIR ALIGNMENT AND THEIR CALLING and today’s conversation is going to be transformative for you…esp if you’ve found yourself living to please others, maybe check all the boxes, and yet feeling really disconnected from yourself.
Our conversation is so relevant and relatable and you’ll hear from Jillian’s own journey how CHOOSING YOU is actually the BEST GIFT you can give to EVERYONE AROUND YOU. We talk about work-life balance, people pleasing + what checking the boxes might rob you of, season’s of heavy and hard and how you can actually seek out + choose lightness thru it all, and Jillian digs into the stories we tell ourselves and how to decide if that’s serving you anymore. I believe that DOING THE WORK in Jillian’s life didn’t just make her a better woman…it rippled out and made her FAMILY better, her WORK better, and ALL the people she’s influenced BETTER and I seriously can’t wait for you to hear her story. So let’s dive in. 🖤
KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE 👇🏼
① Jillian shares with us how she went from checking all the boxes society tells you to check and having a life that looked “successful” on the outside, to really struggling on the inside and not feeling fulfilled. One day she was unpacking a box after moving and found old business plans she wrote in her 20’s. One of the business plans was to start her own wellness life coaching business and it really clicked for her that THIS was her calling. She began doing the work to build her own life + business coaching business.
② We also dive into people pleasing, checking boxes and what this robs you of in your life. I love Jillian’s perspective that if we are living for others we are never going to be in alignment with our true selves.
③ Jillian talks thru what DOING THE WORK has looked like for her in her life and how we must change the stories we tell ourselves if we are going to change our lives…even the story we’ve created about TIME (or lack, there-of). We even get into a conversation about work-life balance and how once we find our alignment in the season we are in, there is an easier way to blend or harmonize the things in our lives that matter most to us.
④ And the underlying theme of all of this is to CHOOSE YOU. That when you CHOOSE YOU, everyone in your life and work will benefit. Even when there are hard times in life, we always always ALWAYS have a choice in how we view them and the lessons we can pull.
