In this episode, we dive into Jill’s powerful journey through competitive athletics — from being recruited for softball at a young age to playing at the Division 1 level, and ultimately facing the life-altering experience of being kicked off her D1 team. Jill opens up about the identity loss, shame, and resilience that followed, and how that moment became a catalyst for deep personal growth. We unpack the lessons she learned about self-worth, discipline, failure, and rebuilding confidence when everything you’ve worked for falls apart. This conversation is about more than sports — it’s about what happens when your path doesn’t go as planned, and how that detour can shape the strongest version of you.
