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.

Nothing triggers a battle with body shame like swimsuit season. (Ask me how I know.) As we enter into summer, I hope this conversation with my dear friend, Brandi Hyatt, will give you permission to treat your body with more kindness and compassion—and to reject any lies that tell you your size is your measure of worth.
This episode felt more vulnerable than usual, as Brandi turned the tables on me at one point and asked me questions about my current struggle in my relationship with my body—then helps me work through this raw, in-process part of my journey in real time!
Brandi is a certified yoga instructor who has played an instrumental role in helping me see myself and my body with greater gentleness. She guides people through what she calls “sacred yoga,” which integrates faith-centered meditation and traditional yoga movements for an embodied worship experience that strengthens the body, mind, and soul.
Listen in to our conversation as we share about:
- How learning to listen to the voice of God has strengthened us both in our fight against body shame
- The connection between our physical, embodied experience and our spiritual sense of connection with God
- Why we might need to go back into our stories to identify the narrative we’ve learned to believe about our bodies
- The grit required to actively resist the voices that tell us lies about who we are
- Ideas for when we need to borrow the words of others until we believe God’s words for ourselves
- How yoga can be a tool to integrate your heart, mind, body, and soul for an embodied faith in Jesus
- Permission to disagree with lies and tune into the One who knows you and loves you as you are
