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.

“You’re allowed to experiment and play and have fun because otherwise what is the point?” -Karla Peters
I met Karla a few years ago when I was looking for someone to help me figure out how to show up consistently online. Her whimsical and effective approach to brand design helped me to not only think more deeply about the work I wanted to do, but she also gave me permission to be myself as I created something new. We all need someone like Karla in our lives!
Join us for this conversation about the evolution of Karla’s business—and her identity—as a creative entrepreneur, how she helps people map their inspired ideas by identifying the “minimum viable magic”, and the ways we can all benefit from collaborating with someone who is not us.
Join us as we talk about:
- Why we often need to pay someone to help us see ourselves—and our brand—more clearly
- How to use idea mapping (aka “creative cartography”) to bring your inspired ideas to life
- Thinking through your minimum viable magic, or MVM, to make progress on your dreams
- Being honest about your emotional landscape before deciding how to move forward
- The messy process of learning to collaborate with someone who is not the same as you—and seeing your differences as a good thing
- Ideas for how to give yourself space—and permission—to dream about different versions of what could be possible
- Pushing back on the pressure we feel to do things a certain way because that’s how other people have done them
- Practical ideas for how to nurture our creative ideas in the midst of full, busy lives
- Why sometimes quitting is just what we need to do—even if it’s just for a day
Karla Peters is a violinist, creative director, and the founder of The Inspired Foundry — a creative studio for brainstorming, building, and branding your inspired ideas. She’s built 150+ brands, toured internationally as a musician with her duo The OK Factor, and guided hundreds of creatives toward their next evolution through branding, coaching, and honest conversations about what it really takes to bring ideas to life.
She lives in Minnesota in a tiny 300-square-foot apartment, once owned a 246-year-old violin, and is a wannabe cheesemonger who believes good bread and better questions can solve almost anything.
