Episode 212

Happy Thursday, and hello from Marshall, TX. Today’s topic is about being good enough, versus settling for good enough. I’m rereading Glennon Doyle’s Untamed, and she hits the nail on the head so frequently. How often do you settle for good enough? Our relationships, jobs, and bodies are good enough. Settling for good enough enables us to stay small, and go after the things we want. Settling is a giant red flag and a sign that we are not following our intuition. I’m not saying to never consider rational but to instead weigh it next to your intuition.

Being good enough is when you are no longer striving to prove yourself. When we don’t feel good enough, we accept things we wouldn’t out of worthiness. When you see yourself as good enough, it’s so empowering and it allows you to dream bigger. It allows your imagination to run wild.

”What is the most true and most beautiful life you can imagine for yourself?” - Glennon Doyle

Episode 211

Welcome Worthiness Warriors, and happy Thursday! I’ve been talking to a lot of people about this topic. I used to put so much emphasis on others’ approval. This reminds us that we need to fail, in order to grow. There is a piece to failure, in order to make different decisions. Without facing that, without that discomfort, we wouldn’t be the resilient humans that we are.

In my life, the things coming up over and over for me are joy and courage. Instead of waiting for someone else to hype you up, learn to be your own hype person. We can’t go from negative three to positive three without passing through zero. Being your own hype woman does not from bad self-talk, to backing yourself 100%. Give yourself permission and grace to get there.

Episode 210

Welcome Worthiness Warriors, and happy Thursday! Hello from Denver! I’m in town because I went to see Lizzo on Halloween. If you ever have the chance to see her, I highly reccommend! She’s truly a show-woman. I have never been to a concert where I felt so cared about, and so seen. She talked about voting, and rights, and she talked about what legacy we can lead. I want to talk about that today. Your legacy.

Whether you have Lizzo status or a small following of 300 people on Instagram, you’re influencing people in your life. Your ripple effect goes beyond the immediate people we have connections and relationships with. I coach around everyday leadership, and when you begin to see yourself that way, you make such an impact. Instead of believing you aren’t enough, influencial enough, believe that is a story that is keeping you small, helping you to stay safe.

Push outside your comfort zone. Expand.

Episode 209

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! I am recording from Moab, UT. I’m so in love with Utah, and we did a hike at Arches yesterday, which was so cool.

I want to talk about intentional living, today. Yesterday Robbie and I were talking about what we’d learned in the first 2 months of marriage. I said that it takes intentional effort, treating everything as something special, and harnessing the razzle-dazzle. It’s intentional! This is something to think of not only in your relationship but in your life. In order to foster a life that sets your soul on fire, you need intention. Without creating the space for sparks, or living large you’ll self-sabotage.

Your peace lies when you can untie your worth from productivity. Release that, release the limiting beliefs you have about your dream life. What are you making being productive mean about you? What are you making not succeeding mean about you? We think this feeling will motivate you toward your goal, but in reality, it pulls you farther away.

Episode 208

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! I’m recording again from Utah this week, and I wanted to talk about a topic that is coming up in many conversations I’ve been having this week. I have a feeling you need to hear this. It takes tons of courage to make a change in your life; starting a business, ending a relationship, going after a dream, or just doing something you don’t normally do. We don’t tend to see when people are going through their mess, we usually see them in the after. It takes a ton of courage to be that vulnerable.

Robbie and I were in this place, Capitol Reef, UT, 4 years ago. We’d been together for 10 months, and it was when we’d decided to buy our van, I decided to quit my job and launch my business. It was where I decided to take my biggest risks. I told Robbie I needed some time, and I sat on a rock. I cried, and I journaled, and at that time I knew that taking those risks was exactly what I had to do. I knew that I couldn’t go back to living as if I didn’t know that, and I also felt every single piece of discomfort I could.

That’s the way risks are, you’re taking them while feeling the most terrified, but you can’t go back to living your life with your eyes closed.

Episode 207

Hello, and happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! I’m sitting in a canyon in Provo, UT. The canyon is next to a brook, and there is a burn scar with a ton of burnt trees. But, there’s starting to be new growth, and there is a rainbow of autumn colors. Greens turning yellow, yellow to orange, and orange to a deep pinkish red. There are birds serenading me, and I’m in awe. Can you feel the peace?

You have the ability to stop and feel the peace where ever you are because it’s felt first inside. Our inside actually is the catalyst to how we interpret our external. This podcast is being recorded 1 day before my 34th birthday, and upon reflection, I hope that if anything, I help you to slow down so you can actually experience your life. Can you put time on your calendar sometime this week to reflect on who you’ve become, what you’ve overcome, what you’ve learned, and how you’ve changed? No matter what, you are a different person, but unless you slow down and allow time to reflect, you’ll never give yourself credit for who you’re becoming and what you’re creating.

Episode 206

Wandile Mthiyane, the founder of Antiracist Hotdog, explains his racial harassment encounter with an Airbnb host and the disappointing way Airbnb has handled this situation. He is joined by his friend, Jillie Johnston, as they both share what the process was and how Airbnb's policies are inherently racist and need to be changed. We are asking for anyone who has connections to any major news stations, newspapers, journalists, lawyers, or higher-ups at Airbnb. We want Wandile to be fully reimbursed and compensated, yes, but more than that, we want to ensure policy change happens at Airbnb and other businesses like them to make it more inclusive, equitable, and safe for all guests. We want no one else to get hurt or suffer at the hands of these policies.

If you can help with connections, media coverage, or legal guidance please contact Wandile Mthiyane at wandile@antiracisthotdog.com or Jillie Johnston at jillie@jilliejohnston.com.

Episode 205

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors, I’m recording this podcast from beautiful Colorado! This episode is one for us all because I have never met someone who doesn’t struggle with this, it’s been coming up all around me. It is so hard to untie your worth from productivity, because that’s not what society has told us, stomped into us, and encouraged in us. Pause and ponder all of the forces, all of the ‘isms’ that have reinforced this thinking in you.

Say it with me now, ‘I am valuable whether I am productive or not.’ This area is particularly difficult to give ourselves grace in, because no matter how healed you and how much work you’ve done, this will continue to come up. Give yourself the grace, and know that spending time in the space will be what eventually heals it. The place to look is not in the ease but in the dis-ease, validate where you are. Of course, you feel this way, remember all the ‘isms’?

Episode 204

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! It’s great to be back in real-time, it’s great to be back in the lower 48, and it’s great to be back and MARRIED!! The month of August was so filled with surrender, and let go to allow space for magic. I’m so happy to be back and to bring this evolution to my business. I’m excited to allow you all to benefit from my lessons, it’s one of my favorite parts!

I’ve really learned that when we don’t take time off, or unplug we are constantly in the weeds. We’re constantly in the micro, patience is low, and it’s really hard to remember to see the bigger picture.
Unfortunately, you can’t automatically take yourself out of the weeds of life, you need the time to break the cycle. I didn’t realize how much pressure I was putting on myself two months ago before we left. I gave myself full permission to take those 5 weeks off; no pressure, only joy.

On this week’s podcast episode we have a re-upload of a well-loved oldie, but goodie! We’re so excited for Jillie to be back next week and share her newest adventure!

In this episode Jillie shares about being forced to accept help and slow down. For many of us, receiving can be difficult, and feeling like a burden can be difficult. In that, Jillie found a lesson to share that a lot of us can relate to. We are worthy no matter what, and you always will be. Your peace, joy, love, and enlightenment are all wrapped up in it, you are still enough.

Welcome back to the Worthiness Mindset Podcast. Jillie and Robbie are taking the month of August off to elope, and enjoy each other on their honeymoon in Alaska!

On this week’s podcast episode we have a re-upload of a well-loved oldie, but goodie! It’s lovely to hear from Jillie again, and this topic is fitting, considering she’s just returned from her elopement and honeymoon! Make sure to come back next week for new content from Jillie, and to hear about her latest adventure.

In this episode, Jillie speaks about love, our favorite topic. In this life, we are meant to love and be loved. If you haven’t yet found your person, it can feel difficult to feel that way. In reality, love is all around us. What’s preventing you from feeling love, from being love, from showing love? Typically the answer is… self-sabotage. The way to fix this is simple, but it’s not easy. Questions your doubts. Until we do this, we aren’t fully aware of the beliefs running our minds.

Welcome back to the Worthiness Mindset Podcast. Jillie and Robbie are taking the month of August off to elope, and enjoy each other on their honeymoon in Alaska!

This week, Rebecca of Rebecca Howe Coaching challenges the idea that your worthiness is something you need to heal. We often assume when we feel negative sensations (especially anxiety) it is because something has gone wrong, when in fact it may be just the disorienting side effects of our success and growth. Rebecca is breaking down why feeling negative emotions has nothing to do with being worthy or feeling worthy. What is actually happening, teaching you techniques to change your relationship to worthiness to feel worthy NOW.

Rebecca is a Board Certified Health Mindset Coach, having trained and certified with the Mayo Clinic and Functional Medicine Institute. She works with clients to create amazing relationships with their body and their health, because when they do that, they achieve goals that they didn’t think were possible, they love themselves, they are happier, and they have the confidence to get anything they want. She works with entrepreneurs, executives and high achievers who recognize that their health is the foundation for everything they want BUT they don’t want to compromise their dreams, ambition and desires to take care of it. She works 1:1 to help them listen to their body, change their internal monologue and trust themselves. This improves inflammation, stress and ultimately changes their life.

Episode 199

Welcome back to the Worthiness Mindset Podcast. Jillie and Robbie are taking the month of August off to elope, and enjoy each other on their honeymoon in Alaska!

In this episode, Victoria Miretti, a great friend of Jillie’s, joins us to speak about worthiness in the concept of dating and love. When she started her journey Victoria made a list of her top 5 criteria, and then realized that most of the men that she’d pined after in her past didn’t even meet that bare minimum. It was then that she decided to uplevel her worthiness and seek those who actually had the qualities she desired in a partner.

Victoria is a Dating and Relationship Coach in New York who helps her clients find love and thrive in relationships through private coaching. She helps her clients uncover what is blocking them from finding and experiencing the love they really want and then helps them attract just that. She was born in Argentina, raised in the Midwest, and currently resides in NYC, where she spent most of her dating life and where she met the man of her dreams. For more information, you can follow her on Instagram @victoriamiretti or visit her website at victoriamiretti.com.

Welcome back to the Worthiness Mindset Podcast. Jillie and Robbie are taking the month of August off to elope, and enjoy each other on their honeymoon in Alaska!

As a special treat, there will be guests filling in on the podcast, and this week we are so excited to bring back Joe Nix a friend and client of Jillie’s. Joe shares with us the many ways we can advance, grow and find abundance. For Joe, the biggest catalyst is joy.

Early on in his journey, Joe was desperate to be happy, so he thought. He had identified his deep connection with joy at a young age and would return to that feeling in the best and worst times. When in times of stress or difficulty he began choosing joy. The power that positive emotion has comes from the connection and choice behind it. Whatever you focus on expands.

Episode 195

Welcome to another episode of the Worthiness Mindset Podcast!! Hello from Anchorage! Today I wanted to share a process that I’ve been going through, focusing on identity and change within. So much of our worth is put into what we do, it’s such a large portion of our identity. As soon as that thing gets taken away, it makes us question our worth. There have been so many evolutions of my own identity, and it collapsing! I was always jumping. I continue to jump.

Purpose, legacy, and mission are so important to me, and I have wrapped my worth in them. The pressure is so large, and in that, we will always feel like we are not doing enough. It might never be enough.

Episode 194

Hello from Anchorage, AK! We’ve had a ton of rain, so fingers crossed that it will let up by our wedding day!!

I wanted to talk about something I’ve seen coming up for many people lately, and it’s the transformation in not judging where they are. Many of us struggle with feeling like we should be further, and the people I see thrive and make changes quickly, they embrace the back and forth, the ebbs and flows. Often we think we’ve healed something, and we’ll feel jolted when it comes up again. Instead of thinking of it as moving backward, look at it as a way to see your growth, to see how far you’ve come.

This is the space where grace, compassion, and patience are NEEDED for yourself in this space. When you start doubting yourself, pay attention to the judgments happening in your mind. As yourself, ‘how can I see this as growth, progress, and me moving forward?’

You don’t need the protection any longer, you don’t need the story any longer, but you can honor that for a long time, that story served you in some way, it kept you safe.

Episode 193

Hello from Alaska, Worthiness Warriors! If you don’t follow me on IG, please do! I’m posting so much good lately! A reminder, that you are not stuck in your circumstance.

Today, I wanted to talk about finding yourself in this place of constant tragedy and not knowing what to do next. The systems of oppression are constantly happening to us. I recently used the word micro-aggression, and multiple people have shared with me their feelings about it. As a white woman, I can experience micro-aggressions of sexism and misogyny. The system has been designed to hold and wear me down.

Recently someone jokingly told Robbie, ‘you need to train her’, in response to something I did. Some might say I’m reading into it, except that later that same man says to another man ‘look at those crows chase others, remember when we could chase women like that?’ There is an eternalization that happens when we hear these things over and over again.
