It is pretty easy to list what is most important to us in our lives when we are asked BUT do our daily actions reflect what we've said? We can all easily list that our family, our health and our purpose is most important but is this what you're spending most of your day focused on?  Your current daily actions and what you are choosing to do and not do really tell the story of what is actually most important to you. So, what are you focusing on each day and is it really the things that are most important to you? Take stock of your schedule.  Right now, you are being given an opportunity to change that routine, to shift the status quo and to focus on what is truly most important. Listen in for more on how to make this change and why it is so important. Please share this message if it resonated with you!

Action changes everything.  It changes how you feel. It changes your physiology. it changes your outlook. Action matters.  Action is the greatest antidote for fear.  Fear can no longer control you if you choose to take action. So, in a time when things feel so uncertain, when the future is unknown and when nothing is the same, action reduces your fear.  All you need to do is decide what you want to create or how you want to feel and then take the next step towards that. When you are moving and doing something proactive and productive, fear can't exist in the same way.  It's time to act. Don't let the fear win.

How do you keep going? How are you always so positive? How do you stay focused on what you want? I've been asked these questions over and over in my life. I got asked them when my baby died, when I went through my health crisis, as I walked my daughter through her medical misdiagnosis and now again in a more recent incident that was hard. How do I do it? I choose too. In all of these circumstances, I have learned how strong I am, how much more power and strength exists in us than we truly know about until the "going gets tough" and I recognize that I am the only one who can walk myself through it. It's all up to me and it's all up to you.  We are in charge of how we react and what we do in any circumstance (hard or easy) and these two things define how our life continues to unfold.  Listen in for more on how I keep going, how I stay positive and why I believe there is a gift even in the worst of situations.  Be sure to subscribe so that you can always hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on Apple Po

Hard things are going to happen. And in these tougher moments in life, you have a choice. You can choose to accept what is or you can deny reality and become a victim in the story. When you learn to live with what is, it gives you an opportunity to walk through whatever it is you are going through and choose to create something different. If you fall victim to the circumstance and start the "why me" story or the blame game, you will get stuck and the hard situation that you are in will drag you down even more mentally, physically and spiritually.  Accepting what is, facing it and choosing what's next, is how you move forward. Listen in as I share personal stories of how I chose to live with what is but also move forward choosing what is next and why you should too.  Be sure to subscribe so that you can always hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on Apple Podcast or Stitcher.

Regardless of whether you are consciously creating it or not, you are CREATING an impact with how you show up, what you say and what you do.  So, the question is... Do you like the impact that you are making?  Are you happy with the energy that you are putting out there, the impact that you are having on your family and friends, your co-workers or employees and the people that you interact with each day?  And then, the next big thing to consider is... Could you be making more of an impact?  Are you doing what you feel you are called to be doing? Are you fulfilling your purpose daily? Are you taking action on what matters most to you each day?  Your impact matters. It matters today. And it also matters years from now because what you do today creates your future and impacts the future of those around you.  Listen in as I share a story about how something I shared over 5 years ago is still making an impact today.  Be sure to subscribe so that you can always hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on

I listen to a lot of different podcasts when I'm at the gym from Andy Frisella's Real AF, The Ed Mylett Show, The Dean Graziosi Show, For the Love with Jen Hatmaker, The Rise Podcast with Rachel Hollis and The Jennifer Allwood Show all focused on business and personal development. They couldn't be more different and ultimately more similar. I am finding as I listen more and more that they all have this one thing in common... They all have extreme FAITH in something greater than themselves.   All of these individuals seem to really trust their intuition, know they are being called and take action on what they believe is their calling and feel strongly that they are here to serve. They have a great belief that they will be shown the way and that the universe/god/source will make it possible.  Their faith propels them to action and serves them and the people that they reach with their words, their products and their services. I feel that success relies on great faith. Listen in as I dive deeper into this c

Are you focusing on fighting the old or building the new?  This thought from a Socrates quote got me thinking. Is this why change is so hard?  Are our subconscious thoughts, our limiting beliefs and our past what makes change so hard? I really think so.  So instead of drawing from the past, if we choose to focus all of our energy on the future and what we need to take action on right now to create that future, change wouldn't be so hard. I also think that we resist change because we forget that if we "choose" wrong, we can just choose again.  In this episode, I share how change used to be so hard for my husband and why I've always thrived on change and how you can too.  Listen in to find out how we are wired to be resistant to change and how we can change that so that we can create more of what we truly want.   Be sure to subscribe so that you can always hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on Apple Podcast or Stitcher.

Why is this happening to me? Haven't I been through enough? I'm a good person. Why me? These are pretty normal questions we ask ourselves when we are going through something hard or when we have just walked through a hard time and the next one happens right away.  This question of why is almost impossible to answer right away. The answer will come at some point likely but this question doesn't always serve us right away. It keeps us stuck in the circumstance. We need to stop asking this question and figure out what to do next instead.  We go through things to share things. We need to share our story to help others through their harder life experiences. I share part of a chapter from my book, When the Meaning is Lost (available on Amazon), in this episode because it dives into this question of "why me?".  Listen in to hear the rest of what I've learned about why things happen for us, not to us.  Be sure to subscribe so that you can always hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episodes on Apple Podcast or Sti

Everything is energy.  So, if everything is energy, the energy in your home really matters. It impacts your personal energy.  Think of an area of your home that you don't like, that feels cluttered or doesn't feel quite right. It is impacting your personal energy. It even impacts how you feel when you think about it.  In this episode, I share what to do in your home to shift the energy and why the state of your home reflects the state of your life. The energy in your home matters to your health, wealth and relationships. There are 9 areas of your life represented in your home based on the Feng Shui Bagua Map. You want to ensure the energy is flowing in all of these areas to positively impact your life.  Listen in to find out more about the impact of the energy in your home and what you can do to use the energy to create a positive effect on your life.

Ideal moments are few and far between but we tend to wait for them to happen whenever we are wanting to do something new, take a leap or make a change in our life.  We wait thinking the right amount of support will eventually show up, the right amount of money will be accumulated and the right time will magically appear.  Here's the deal though...we are waiting for something that likely won't happen. All of those things don't tend to come together to be that ideal moment for us to start.  You can wait for the situation to get better but what if it doesn't. You may miss the whole opportunity. You have to start now. You have to find a way and adjust accordingly so that you can begin.  I share personal stories in this episode of how I chose to move forward even though the situation wasn't "ideal". I knew that I wanted was more important than waiting for a different circumstance so I started.  Most times you have to give something to get something. It's always worth it in the end.

I'll do it tomorrow... It can wait until the kids are older... Now isn't the right time because... There will never be a right time, an ideal time or a perfect time to start something new, to take the leap or to shift directions. The only time is NOW. Right now. That is all you have. So, if all you have is right now, are you creating what you truly want? Are you living with enough urgency? We don't know how long we get to experience this life so it is vitally important to take advantage of every day we do have. I learned how short life was when my baby died and it is something that I am very aware of even now almost 14 years later. You don't know what the future holds so it's important to live fully right now.  You are here to live, love and serve. Make sure you are doing each of these with enough urgency each day.

I believe in the Law of Attraction. But... I also know that just because you can dream it and visualize it, doesn't mean that it will come into your life.  The Law of Attraction actually requires action. It requires doing things to get you closer to what you desire most and an openness to receiving things on the journey towards your dreams, desires and goals. To work for you, it requires focused thought, a lot of gratitude and an attitude of love.  In this episode of Ninja Jill KNOWS, I share about how you can make the Law of Attraction work for you.  This is the longest podcast episode yet but it is well worth your time.

I heard this question a little while ago and it got me thinking about my life so much so that I made a note of it my phone and want to share it with you as well. Are you content or afraid? A very simple question that packs a big punch when you really start thinking about it.  Are you actually happy with the work you are doing or is there something in you that knows you should be doing more? If there is, you're not content, you're afraid. Is your relationship good enough or are you ready for great? If so, you're not content, you're afraid. Are you really satisfied with how you feel, your energy level every day and how you look or are just uncomfortable to do more? There are times when we mask the feelings of fear, discomfort and being afraid with contentment. It's time to stop doing this and get real about what it is you truly want and what you need to do about it. Listen in to dive deeper into this conversation of contentment vs fear and how it impacts your life.  Be sure to subscribe so that you can always

The only limits you have are the ones you place on yourself. The only one limiting you is you. You are actually limitless.  When we realize that the only limits that are being put on us are from our past, our perspective and what we believe to be true, what we choose to do changes.  It's easy to look outside of yourself and say that your circumstances, your family and your work is limiting you but the ultimate choice in it all comes from you.  Your limits are your own.

As you get deeper into this personal growth world and journey, there is an understanding that everything happens for a reason.  And when you know this and have recognized it in your life, sometimes you search for the reason before it is ready to be revealed. You rush the process and don't always see the message or get frustrated trying to understand why this is happening in your life.  I was doing this a couple of weeks ago. I was trying to figure out "why" something had happened and what I was to do with this experience. I wanted to know how I was to share what I have learned about myself and the world.  But, I realized that it isn't time to know. Sometimes you have to wait to find out why it happened. When I realized this, the frustration was released, I was more present and I know and have great faith that when it's time to know, I will.  Listen in to hear the whole story and find out how this applies in your life too.  Be sure to subscribe so that you can always hear the latest Ninja Jill KNOWS episod

What are you really good it?  What do people come to you for? What do you love to do?  This is your gift and it is the way that people are attracted into your life.
