This episode builds on the foundation laid in Part 1, where the focus was on creating buy-in before building a plan and helping teams feel connected to the future they're being asked to carry. This episode, Part 2, outlines how to lead a vision workshop that prioritizes safety, trust, and shared ownership over hype or pressure, emphasizing that vision is not handed down but chosen.

Jillian walks you through grounding the room by honoring what the team has already carried, reflecting back what was heard to build trust, sharing a clear and simple vision, and inviting contribution instead of issuing instructions. By defining ownership together and closing with genuine recognition, leaders create alignment that allows excellence to emerge naturally, prevents burnout, and removes the burden of carrying the vision alone—reinforcing that true leadership creates belonging, and from that, buy-in follows.

In part one of this two-part series, Jillian explores why vision alone isn't enough to create buy-in — and how leadership without belonging quietly leads to burnout. If you've ever left a vision meeting feeling inspired but strangely heavy, this episode names what's really happening beneath the surface.

This conversation reframes leadership from casting bigger goals to creating safety, peace, and connection for the people building the business alongside you. Jillian breaks down why many vision workshops fail before they begin, how energy without peace exhausts teams, and what it truly takes to build momentum that lasts.

You'll be guided through three powerful questions every leader should ask before planning a vision workshop — questions that uncover meaning, reduce hidden energy drains, and help your team feel seen and valued. These questions don't just shape better planning; they lay the foundation for trust, loyalty, and sustainable leadership.

Growth can look great on paper while quietly draining your energy behind the scenes. In this episode, Jillian explores a hidden challenge many women entrepreneurs face as their businesses expand: overhead creep. When more clients and revenue lead to rushed hiring, unclear roles, and rising responsibilities, quality and capacity often suffer—even though nothing appears "wrong."

Jillian breaks down why hiring more people isn't always the solution, how unmanaged growth increases mental load, and why women leaders are especially impacted by invisible labor and decision fatigue. She shares real-life examples, common hiring pitfalls (including contractor overload), and a more intentional way to evaluate your team before adding new roles.

You'll learn how documenting systems, clarifying expectations, and restructuring roles can actually restore capacity, improve quality, and create a supportive ecosystem that works with your energy instead of against it. This episode is an invitation to pause, reconnect with your business, and choose leadership that honors your whole life—before burnout becomes the baseline.

Ever feel like you're moving fast but missing everything important? In this episode, we're exploring why being busy creates blind spots and how to organize your time in a way that actually honors your energy, creativity, and life.

Jillian introduces a game-changing framework inspired by performers and entertainers: organizing your calendar into four distinct types of days. Instead of treating every day the same and living in constant reactive mode, this approach creates intentional rhythm that makes your energy predictable, your creativity sustainable, and dramatically reduces burnout.

When you organize your time with rhythm—knowing when to perform, prepare, rest, and play, you show up bigger, stay more present, and finally stop living in that frantic, reactive state where you're moving fast but missing everything.

In this episode, Jillian dives into what happens when burnout and brain fog stop being occasional challenges and quietly become your baseline. She unpacks why so many women entrepreneurs don't recognize burnout until exhaustion feels normal and mental clarity feels out of reach—and why this isn't a personal failure, but a systems problem.

Jillian introduces the burnout cycle many women are stuck in without realizing it, breaking down how decision overload, ineffective delegation, emotional disconnection, and chronic burnout feed into one another. She explains why traditional productivity advice often misses the mark for women, especially those carrying invisible emotional and mental labor alongside their businesses.

You'll also hear practical, compassionate ways to begin interrupting this cycle, including how to reduce daily decision fatigue, release guilt around rest, and reconnect with the work that truly requires your leadership and creativity. Jillian shares tools and strategies that support presence, clarity, and sustainable leadership—without adding more pressure or checklists.

This episode is for women who feel stretched thin, foggy, or disconnected from the work they once loved, and who are ready to build a business that honors their energy, supports their life, and allows them to lead with peace instead of depletion.

Welcome to Love to Lead (formally The Grace-Filled CEO)— a rebrand born from a truth that needed to be told.

This isn't just another business podcast. This is a space for women who are leading businesses, homes, families, and everything in between, and feeling the weight of it all.

Traditional business advice wasn't designed for the mental load you carry. The aspirational content tells you to dream big but doesn't give you tools that honor your actual life. There's a gap between strategy and self-honoring leadership, between the pressure to perform and the permission to pause.

Love to Lead exists to fill that gap.

In this episode, Jillian shares why this rebrand matters, what's been missing from the conversation around women's leadership, and what you can expect moving forward. This is leadership without losing yourself. This is business that honors you. This is where women stop carrying it all alone.

If you've been trying to lead inside a model that wasn't built for you, this episode is your permission to choose differently.
