Permission Slips
Podcast Description
Welcome to Permission Slips, a space for you to practice paying compassionate attention to your life in order to experience the wholeness, purpose, and joy you’re made for. I’m Jillian DeBritz, a life and leadership coach—and recovering perfectionist—who is learning with you how to give myself permission to be human.
These conversations are meant to spark curiosity about where in your own life you might need permission to be a little kinder to yourself, so you can embrace more of who you’re made to be in a world that desperately needs you to show up as only you can.
As we journey together through content related to identity, purpose, and pursuing greater health and wholeness, I hope these episodes will leave you feeling a little braver and a little less alone. Because, after all, we’re not meant to navigate the world by ourselves—we need one another.
Our conversations will cover topics like: building self-compassion and gentleness as tools to combat shame; examining faith through the lens of interpersonal neurobiology; honoring the connection between our emotions, bodies, and spiritual lives; learning to cultivate courage through vulnerability; exploring the kindness and compassion of God; discovering the unique design and God-given purpose we each carry; and building awareness about our current reality so we can move toward our ideal future. We'll lean on the powerful work of people like Curt Thompson, MD, Aundi Kolber, Brené Brown, Dane Ortlund, and others who offer insights and resources to guide us along the journey toward wholeness.
Let’s get curious, practice vulnerability, and learn to be gentle with ourselves as explore how to move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and courage. I’m so glad you’re here.

This episode wraps up my very first season as a podcaster, and the first 18 episodes of Permission Slips! After four months of producing an episode every week, I’ve learned a lot about the process—and about myself. Listen in for my reflections on 7 things I’ve learned on this podcasting journey, which I hope will also encourage you in whatever new thing you’re beginning, too!
Thanks for listening to Permission Slips, friends. I’m taking the summer to rest and dream, but I’m already looking forward to being back with you here again in the fall! Until then, may we all give ourselves permission to rest, so that we might be restored, refueled, and re-energized for what’s ahead!
