Jill opens up about a recent guest who found her through an app that matches storytellers with podcasts, and how being marked as a nine out of ten match affirmed that she is exactly where she’s meant to be.Jill explores the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone, following the nudge to try something new, and allowing yourself to create simply because something inside you wants to. She believes that creating sparks more creating. That creativity is part of why we’re here. And that offering what we create is one of the most beautiful ways we can serve others.This episode invites listeners to reflect deeply on their own stories, their own creativity, and the ways they might be called to step into something new.
