Learning How to Be Gentle with Yourself with Jillian DeBritz Nov 06, 2024

In this episode of The Collide Podcast, we sit down with Jillian DeBritz, a certified life and leadership coach, writer, speaker, and recovering perfectionist. Jillian is passionate about helping women quiet shame and live more gently as they pursue their unique, God-given purpose. As a former educator who knows firsthand the cost of pushing beyond her limits, she shares her journey and wisdom on how to practice self-compassion and gentleness in a world that often encourages the opposite.

Key Takeaways:

Challenging Shame: Shame often drives us to be self-critical, but Jillian shares ways to challenge this mindset by focusing on God’s gentle heart toward us.
The Power of Attention: Paying attention to ourselves is key to growth and healing, helping us become more aware of our thoughts, emotions, and needs.
Asking Good Questions: Jillian emphasizes asking ourselves thoughtful questions to foster awareness, reflection, and a more compassionate inner dialogue.
Learning from Jesus: We can look to Jesus’ example of compassion and learn to practice that same gentleness toward ourselves.
