Boundaries aren’t just about saying no, they’re about knowing yourself.

Today Jill sits down with life coach and boundary expert Steph Koenig to explore a fresh, personality-driven approach to setting better boundaries - without the guilt. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overcommitted, or unsure how to protect your time and energy without burning bridges, this one’s for you.

Steph introduces her signature framework: The Four Boundary Confidence Types: The Explorer, The Architect, The Juggler, and The Trailblazer. You’ll learn how your personal style shapes the way you set (or struggle to set) boundaries, and how to shift from reactive to confident and clear.

Whether you’re the go-to person for everything, someone who avoids conflict, or the type who sets boundaries then breaks them, this conversation will help you understand your patterns and start setting limits with confidence.

We talked about:

• Why boundaries are essential for time and energy management—not just relationships

• The 4 Boundary Confidence Types and how to identify your own

• What each type needs most to evolve and avoid burnout traps

• Why boundary struggles aren’t a personal failure—they’re a pattern you can rewrite

• How to start setting limits that actually feel good

It’s my birthday, and I’m marking 39 with a solo episode full of reflections, truth-telling, and a peek behind the curtain of my personal evolution.

In the past decade, I’ve navigated motherhood, divorce, career shifts, a spiritual awakening, serious mental health challenges, and a near-death experience. And through it all, I’ve been rebuilding: my life, my business, and my sense of self.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a love letter to every woman who’s been in the thick of it, doing the work to grow like a mother.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why this podcast still matters to me (and what’s next)

• How I’m redefining success at this stage of life

• The surprising ways my business is shifting again — and why that feels good

• The mess and magic of building something new, from the inside out

Whether you’ve been with me since Season 1 or this is your first listen, I’m so grateful you’re here. Thanks for being part of the journey.
