Too few of us are willing to be true to ourselves and risk disappointing or (GASP!) offending others.

We rarely speak our truth or ask for what we want.

We shrink, hide and politely accept and agree to terms we don’t want in order to be accepted and liked.

What if we didn’t?

[3:10] - We need to be willing to get uncomfortable and potentially make others uncomfortable by asking for the things we want.

[4:21] - We’ve been taught to be “the good girl.” We wind up saying yes to everything to be nice and not be “too much.”

[7:07] - It’s hard to stand up for ourselves and it takes practice.

[8:50] - When will you allow yourself to have the things you want to your satisfaction?

[10:27] - With more practice it becomes harder to not follow your true north.

[14:29] - Don’t apologize for your decisions. You can apologize for taking someone’s time or inconveniencing them, but not for your decision.

[17:40] - Many times life is going to put us in situations that are so extreme to show us how bad it feels to abandon ourselves so we can really make the decision to choose ourselves.

[19:14] - Think of a situation where you spoke up for yourself and how it showed up in your body. Now think of a time when you didn’t.

[21:08] - You don’t have to abandon yourself and your needs to fulfill the needs of someone else.

[23:36] - It will eventually feel so natural to stand up for yourselves.

[29:03] - Jill gives an example of how “the flavor can change.” What feels right to you and when are you willing to compromise?

[31:10] - What are your rules? What are your boundaries?

Jill uses her gift of storytelling and uses her words to paint three pictures that the listener can see vividly and clearly as they extract a personal message and lesson for themselves.

[2:27] - Every human being deserves to have these “ah-ha’s.”

[5:41] - Sometimes, the biggest gifts come from struggling. But suffering is optional.

[7:23] - Jill was convinced that she would learn something specific, but she had to learn something different and trust the process.

[9:01] - Integration and embodiment can be used in so many different areas. The difference between knowing in your head and knowing in your body.

[11:26] - Subtle change leads to huge change.

[12:45] - Jill describes the experience.

[15:10] - “It’s a trick question. I choose both.”

[16:57] - The second lesson is all about how Jill’s art will be perceived.

[18:45] - Someone could have told me these things, but I had to experience this and release so much through physical discomfort to access this.

[21:18] - Jill describes what she saw that led to the third lesson learned in this journey.

[23:48] - What if we look back at trauma and painful experiences as a grown adult and not from the perspective of a child?
