Join Jill this week as she revisits an episode from January 2021 where she discusses the transformative journey sparked by her recent workshop masterclass, which has blossomed into a supportive and vibrant community for women! She shares her excitement about the unexpected success of the workshop held and invites listeners to join this growing network, emphasizing the importance of self-promotion without guilt!

Listen as Jill discusses the workshop's key themes, including stepping out of comfort zones and breaking free from the ways that we buffer and numb ourselves. She highlights how participants are challenging themselves in unique ways, from taking cold showers to driving different routes and even altering their daily habits like drinking coffee with the non-dominant hand, all small but significant actions that can help you create new neural pathways and experience personal growth!

Jill focuses primarily on the concept of numbing - how we go through life on autopilot, missing out on the richness of the present moment.

[10:51] - Emily describes a wake-up call that she got during a phone call with her dad.
