It's time to touch some grass.. I've been caught in the endless scroll cycle many times before, and breaking free from it takes more than just deleting the app. In my experience, it takes intention, strategy, and some self-honesty. In this episode, I share what’s actually helped me unplug: from setting boundaries and planning low-stimulation offline time, to re-entering the digital world with clarity and purpose. This is war! For reclaiming your time, your mind, and your creativity.Thank you for listening!Talk to your next week...xx, Jillwww.bymonday.comMentioned in the episode:-The Summer I Turned Pretty-Love Island-Modern Love-doomscroll rehab episode

Back from a short, summery break.This week I’m sharing a few things I would gently tell my younger self she’s allowed to let go of; things like constant productivity, needing to know what’s next, or dressing to look small. These are the kind of pressures we tend to carry quietly for years, until we realize we have the power to drop them. I’m also including some snippets from friends and family about the expectations they’ve released as well. It's good to remember we're all collectively letting go of things as we make our way through life. Thank you for listening!Talk to you next week,xx, Jillwww.bymonday.com

This week, I’m inviting you into a mid-year reset. We're pausing at the halfway point, doing some reflecting, and realigning with what you want the second half of the year to include. I walk through some thought-provoking questions and share some of my own reflections and shifts from the year so far. Whether you’ve been having the best year ever or are just getting by, this episode is your gentle nudge to check-in and move forward with intention.Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!Talk to you next Friday!xx, Jillwww.bymonday.com

In this week's episode, I talk through how I am channeling the dreamy, slow-paced energy of a European/East Coast summer without actually traveling to either. I’m talking about savoring the season through pleasure, simple luxuries, juicy, fresh fruit, espresso, and a wardrobe full of light linen and flip-flops. Let’s make this summer feel like a vacation, no matter where you are.Thank you for listening!xx, Jillwww.bymonday.comMentioned in the episode:-Carrie Rad-Summer Playlist

Welcome to Hormone Happy Hour! We’re keeping it simple this week and breaking down what’s actually happening in your body throughout the month (for women) and each day (for men). I walk through the four phases of the menstrual cycle with movement and nutrient tips for each, plus how men can support their daily hormone rhythm with habits and nutrition as well. Whether you're syncing your cycle or just want to feel better in your body, this one’s full of approachable info and good-to-know info for both men and women.Thank you for listening!Talk to you next Friday.xx, Jillwww.bymonday.comMentioned in the episode:-Balanced Beyars-Go As A River book-Saltair Salt Water Vanilla Serum Deodorant-Functional Blood Work Resource

In this week's episode, I'm discussing what's hot...and what's not. Think: tagging airlines in angry Instagram stories and being rude to people in customer service (not hot). What does it really mean to embody “hot behavior.”? Spoiler: It has way less to do with looks and way more to do with energy, self-awareness, and how you treat people. Hope you enjoy the ep.Thanks for listening!Talk to you next Friday.xx, Jillwww.bymonday.comMentioned in the episode:2000's Country Playlist

Today's episode is about creativity...for everyone. I talk about unlearning self-consciousness, letting go of perfection, and practicing being seen without performing. I’m working on releasing my grip on certainty and choosing to create, even when it’s messy or incomplete (which is always). This is your sign to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and just start.Thank you for listening!Talk to you next week,xx, Jillwww.bymonday.comMentioned in the episode:-Aspire with Emma Grede and Jay Shetty-new year, new tune

Lately, I’ve been focused on leveling up. Nothing extreme, just showing up with more consistency, structure, and honesty about what’s good for me. In this episode, I talk about simplifying your health because most of us are overcomplicating it and skipping the basics. I’m walking more, eating more real food, and taking ownership of the little things that actually move the needle. It’s not about perfection or even optimization, it’s about doing what you know you need to do, even when it’s not hot.Take what resonates with you on this one! Leave the rest.

I’m deep in my “drafting” era, but that doesn’t mean I’m not keeping clear on the vision I have for my life. This episode is about faking it—not to fool anyone, but to stay connected to the version of me I’m becoming. It’s a little bit delusional, a little bit intentional, and fully part of the process.Thank you for listening!Talk to you next Friday,xx, Jillwww.bymonday.com

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal remedy for when life feels a little off—what I'm calling “unfunking.” Going over some of the "tools" I reach for like ashwagandha and clean hair to comfort books, inspiring creators, and lowkey hangs. This is my gentle guide to shifting the vibe. No pressure to bounce back—just small, nourishing things that help me feel a little more like me.Thanks for listening!Talk to you next Friday,xx, Jillwww.bymonday.com

This week we’re talking about what it’s like living as a chronic beginner. Always exploring new hobbies or ideas, but maybe never mastering them. I share about how I’m learning to find joy in trying new things, letting go of the pressure to be good at everything, and how I practice tuning into when it is worth sticking it out and harnessing discipline. Thank you for listening!Talk to you next Friday-xx, Jillwww.bymonday.com

This week I talk about one of my favorite topics...solitude. I used to be really self-conscious about spending time alone, but I’ve really grown to love it. These days, I genuinely enjoy my own company, from solo movie dates to quiet moments at home, and I've learned that being alone doesn’t equate to being lonely. Embracing solitude has helped me build confidence, get clear on my thoughts, and practice genuine self-acceptance. I hope it helps you with the same and that you feel inspired to plan a solo date this month.Thank you for listening!Talk to you next Friday.xx, Jillwww.bymonday.comLinks from the show:Asparagus Frittatanew year, new tune

Community has changed a lot for me over time—effortless in childhood but something I’ve had to intentionally cultivate as an adult. It’s evolved from being just about friendship to being more about connection, presence, and engaging beyond my immediate circle. Prioritizing it has meant showing up, starting conversations, and creating spaces for togetherness, however that may look.Hope you guys enjoy this chat!Talk to you next Friday,xx, Jillwww.bymonday.comLinks:Epidemic of Loneliness and IsolationSocial Support and DepressionMental Health and CommunitySocial Connections and Longevity
