What does it really mean to be of service, without burning out, keeping score, or losing yourself in the process?

In this episode of No Permission Necessary, Jill and Molly reflect on what they are consciously leaving behind and what they are bringing into 2026. From the pressure of constant productivity to the subtle ways success can quietly become self-serving, this conversation explores leadership, mental health, boundaries, and the difference between giving from alignment versus obligation.

They unpack:

• Why being rushed is one of the fastest paths to dysregulation
• How helping can quietly become transactional
• The role of service in leadership, parenting, and relationships
• Why transition time matters more than we think
• What it looks like to release old chapters and stop forcing alignment

This episode is an invitation to redefine success, rooted in presence, balance, and authentic connection. No permission required.

Michelle shares her personal experiences with grief and transition, offering insight into how pain can reshape and redefine our identities, relationships, and sense of direction.

They also discuss the quiet strength it takes to show up for ourselves and others during difficult seasons, the importance of support systems, and the reality that growth often comes in ways we don’t expect or plan for.

This episode is a reminder that healing is not always linear and that giving yourself grace during life’s hardest chapters isn’t weakness, it’s essential.

In this episode of No Permission Necessary, hosts Molly Bierman and Jill Griffin open up about the courage it takes to be emotionally vulnerable in leadership, in relationships, and in the quiet time of daily life. Through stories and thoughtful reflection, they explore what happens when we let ourselves be fully seen instead of hiding behind the "I'm fine" script.

Molly and Jill discuss the barriers we build to keep ourselves safe, the discomfort that comes with letting them down, and the unexpected connection that emerges when we share what’s real instead of what’s easy. They also talk about how vulnerability affects the people we care for, the teams we lead, and the families we are a part of, reminding us that being transparent is not a sign of weakness but rather a path to understanding, trust, and growth.

This episode is a call to take your time, be gentle and show up as yourself.
