A Few Words From Our Readers ❤️
C.K., Denver, CO — “I used to live in constant crisis mode—putting out one fire after another and never stopping to think about what I wanted for myself. After reading about having the courage to be possibility-focused instead of task-focused, I reimagined what life could be. I’m now building my life on my terms.”
M.S., Austin, TX — “I was exhausted from the endless cycle of losing weight, gaining it back, and feeling like a failure. The YouTube episode that Jill hosted with the dietician on yo-yo dieting opened my eyes to how my body actually reacts to that kind of thing. I finally admitted it doesn’t work and changed my approach.”
O.M., Grand Rapids, MI — “I never thought I could do strength training because of my autoimmune issues, but the post about thriving over 40 with autoimmune diseases inspired me to try. Focusing on small changes—like improving my sleep and managing stress—has given me the energy and courage to keep going.”
T.J., Portland, OR — “I always thought being busy until bedtime was just part of life, but I learned from the post about how important it is to wind down before bed. Saving my most mindless tasks for the end of the day has made a huge difference in my stress levels and ability to get a good night’s sleep.”
K.B., Chicago, IL — “After dealing with a nagging back injury, my doctor brushed it off as just ‘a function of getting older.’ The post about advocating for yourself when your doctor dismisses your concerns gave me the confidence to push for better care. I found a fantastic PT and finally got back to Pilates—eff that doctor.”
