The Power of Rest: Just Slow Down!

What happens when a healer finally takes her own advice and stops running through walls? In this raw, vulnerable, and liberating episode of "It Begins Here," host Jillian Johnson announces a pivotal shift: she is pulling back her energy, resting, and allowing things to unfold at Jillian pace.

After two months of intense inner child healing, ancestral work, and deep transformation, Jillian has come to a crucial realization: she's tired as fuck. And that's not a failure—it's a sign that it's time to slow down. She shares the beauty of saying no, of letting people drift apart, of protecting her energy like the sacred resource it is. She's not your comfortable heated blanket or weighted blanket—she's here to teach, not to be drained.

This episode is an invitation to ask yourself: What lights you up? What gives you inner child happiness? What are you holding onto that no longer serves you? With humor, heart, and unflinching honesty, Jillian shows us that healing doesn't have to be dramatic—sometimes it's just pulling back, taking a breath, and letting the universe deliver what's meant for you. Your journey to rest, restoration, and radiant self-love begins here.

 Where love creates movement, and movement creates change.

And this is the time for me to rest and relax and heal and allow things to unfold and to take a breath and to keep practicing my singing because my God that lights me up amongst many other things, including saving this beautiful world and all of humanity and you. So what I've learned to recap it all again because I love going backwards to go forwards. It's how you learn. There it is. Go backwards to go forwards. What has gotten you to this journey? Who are you? What happened? What did you learn? Well, Dia, and welcome to It Begins Here. It Begins Here is a podcast about my journey and path to enlightenment, healing, awareness, realizations, and all the fun little stories in between. So I welcome you to It Begins Here, a podcast. Boom Dia. I am finally going to pull back my energy from a few things. And this has been such a journey. And just to summarize, um, I've gone through some very immense deep healing the last two months, two plus months. Um, March. I mean, the awakening happened back in 2020, and then again in 2022. I've had some long periods of transformation. Um, and it's in my birth chart. Um, and now I'm at this pivotal point of going through some massive healing, healing inner child wounds, and all the things. I mean, my ancestors are literally like standing ovation. I can just see them. But I'm not, you know, I don't want to stop and rest. It's like they're like, you gotta stop and rest, right? Um, and so that's what I'm learning is I need to stop and rest. And I'm gonna exercise, I'm gonna continue with certain things, of course, because that's good for your body, right? Pin mask challenge, I'm I'm still sticking to that, but I'm going slow and steady because August riding 177 miles in two days, that sounds like pure stupidity. So we'll see. That is gonna be at jillian pace, and going forward, everything is now at jillian pace, and that's the blessing. The blessing of noise for confirmation, the blessing of doing the healing, going back, sitting in those old wounds. I mean, I'm teaching it and going to master this, obviously. I've heard have mastered, um, but right now is rest, right? So going through two months of intense healing and not stopping to like take a breath. And I love that certain people are coming and going in my life. I love that things are slipping away. I love that I've learned to protect my energy. I love that I've learned to say no. I've loved that I've learned to love me. Like I freaking love me. Right? And if you're not at this point, then man, you need to keep listening. Um, because you need to love you. And it shows how much I love me. You can see it in my glow. But I'm tired as fuck. So things are gonna go to a how do I want to say this? There'll be action, don't get me wrong, because I'm wood element. I mean, I think that's the point, is I've just been car rearviewing neighbor's truck is reversing for confirmation. Um, I have been running through walls still, and I've slowed down more than ever. But it's just the awareness of it all of going through years, quite frankly, decade plus years of transformation, coming to a pivotal point, a fork in the road, two months in, a crossroad, two months in, I'm here, and I'm going. Yeah, I need to freaking slow down and rest so I know what step to take, so I know where I'm going. Because that's the that's the most crucial point. To allow those to fall away that shouldn't be here, to allow those to enter that should. To allow myself, my energy, man, is like top-notch, calm, soothing. People feel it, they know it, right? Can enter a room and they know, but you can't stay. I'm not your comfortable heated blanket, I'm not your weighted blanket. You can't stay. But I do and will teach and already am and how to do this. So stay tuned. You know it's coming. I've already started. I already am. And what I'd love to say to all of you of what I've learned. There is no running forward speed ahead. There is no more sacrificing my energy for others. There is no more making hasty decisions because it excites me and lights my fire. Right? It's just so, and again, I've been vulnerable in teaching this and talking about this, like this podcast, social media, that is uncomfortable as fu uh-uh-uck for me. Uncomfortable as fuck for me. But I'm doing it for a reason, and you know what's coming. You see things coming, right? I see them. Intuitive as shit, intuitive as shit. And I need to slow down to allow them to approach. And I'm gonna take a breath. I'm gonna keep doing obviously this podcast because I am literally cataloging my journey. And it's beautiful, and it's only mine, and I get to do it for myself. And you can't have it, so don't even try. Oh God, blessings. There's um there's light at the end of the tunnel for all of you, is my point. So start the journey. Tune in to us. It begins here, obviously. Thank you very much. Tune into P Y L I Wellness, P Lee Wellness. Tune into Simply J. Tune into all of it, just watch it unfold because you're gonna learn so much from it. And this is the time for me to rest and relax and heal and allow things to unfold and to take a breath and to keep practicing my singing, as my god that lights me up, amongst many other things, including saving this beautiful world and all of humanity, and you. So, what I've learned to recap it all again, because I love going backwards to go forwards. It's how you learn. There it is. Go backwards to go forwards. What has gotten you to this journey? Who are you? What happened? What did you learn? What did you not learn and have to relearn? What did you learn and have to go at it again and again and again? What cycles have you identified?

SPEAKER_02 10:32

What cycles do you need to break?

SPEAKER_01 10:41

What is the next step? What lights you up? Man lights you the fuck up. Owls hooting in the background. What really, really gives you inner child happiness.

SPEAKER_02 11:14

That's your purpose.

SPEAKER_01 11:24

I'm becoming someone that I am so damn excited about. I want you to have that too. Soul recognition right there.

SPEAKER_03 11:46

My body uh compulses, you know.

SPEAKER_02 11:59

There's so many beautiful things to God. So many beautiful things.

SPEAKER_01 12:12

And we don't have to stop and just release it all either. This doesn't have to be so freaking dramatic. Right? Just pull back. Go a little slower.

SPEAKER_03 12:28

Pull back.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

Let it unfold. Release what no longer serves you. Release the anger. Oh god. My darn and I got so angry at each other yesterday. I wasn't feeling well. Sinuses, headache, blah blah blah blah blah. All gone. It's all coming out. Uh and then she just knows how to trigger me. It's a blessing because I need to learn from that, right? And I love her dearly. Oh my god, the love for her. And I have a measurable, immeasurable, not measurable. It shows you my my English. Oh, what a crazy language that is, right? Anywho. People around you are there to teach you. People around there are around you to mirror you. There are people around you that just show you the light too, you know? It's really beautiful. You just gotta slow the freak down. Just slow the freak down. And so I'm gonna slow the freak down. I have been slowing the freak down. I'm just gonna sit. But I have to start looking in at the horizon to really understand what it is I truly desire. And the businesses that I've built, how what shape do they take? What form do they take?

SPEAKER_03 14:27

The legacies I will build. Beautiful legacies.

SPEAKER_01 14:43

And I have like some conversations coming up that are gonna be pretty intense to say the least. For some, for many, for me. I mean, nothing shakes me at this point. I'm unshakable. That's the beauty of it. Completely unshakable. To the point that I am so damn calm. And the epiphanies I've had, the realizations I have had, where my intuition's been screaming, and I go, No, it's not. So damn lucky.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Oh my god. Wait and see what will soon become of me from time.

SPEAKER_01 16:03

Oh, Dave Matthews. A dear friend asked me to go to the concert with her, and I'm like, ugh. I love her dearly, but being around that many people, I don't know. It's a little too much, and I'm still healing, you know. I'm conserving my energy. And the energy that I'll be in will be my selected energy. The energy that I'll be in will be chosen few right now that fill my soul and don't take from my cup. So if you feel that you're giving too much, and you feel that they're taking too much, you have to reassess that. You have to r really understand is that where you want to be? Because there are some cups you want to fill, right? There are some cups you want to fill. Obviously, their loved ones, right? Your children, but even then, you gotta set boundaries. If it was up to Abby, I would be like butler attire and at her every waking mercy, right? It was up to my 10-year-old beautiful daughter. I would be at the mercy of her. And I'm gonna go, no, that's not what I would. That's not how it's supposed to be, moms. That's not how it's supposed to be. I'm thinking of three, four moms right now. I hope you feel this. If you get a pinch on your body, that's me pinching you. That's you. That's you. And if you get a pinch and you're feeling it, I'm talking right to you. We love them, but we're gonna have to set them free, and they're gonna go and they're gonna release, and it's gonna be uncomfortable as shit. I'm not even there yet, but I feel your feels. It is unwavering, unnerving, the unknown. The unknown. It's okay. It's okay. There's amazing things coming for us. There are amazing things coming for me. I can't even there's I can picture like five of them, and I'm gonna be like, God, which one am I gonna choose? Which one am I gonna choose? Right? There's so many things coming. There's so many things that I'm gonna pour the fuck into, and there's so many things that I'm just gonna give a little, but it'll make a big magnitude. And there's so much. There's so much coming. I got lots to give, but it'll be on my decision. It'll be on me and my decision of how I give and contribute. There's power in that, baby. My whole shoulder is just like released. Like, no. I love that word. Like, no. No. There are things that are gonna transpire in your life that you might not be ready for, but it's okay. They've presented for a reason. And then summer tests, let's face it, right? You have to use your discernment. And discernment's everything. And you'll learn it when you slow down and go within, when you meditate, when you start doing the things, when you take our my course, when you start to um unfold all the things that are necessary. When you join Peely Wellness, when you listen to this podcast. You don't have to. That's your choice. You should discern it. You have free will. I'm not pushing anyone to do shit. I no longer chase. It comes to me. It just flows, man. I'm just sitting here going, doot do do. Alright, I'll choose that one. I'm gonna pour my energy into that because man, that lights my fire. Oh, I'm gonna contribute that just because I know that's gonna make amazing change and I wanna do it. But it's not gonna, I'm not filling, filling, filling my cup. I'm gonna set boundaries. I'm gonna pour into that. Because that's me. That is who I am. I'm gonna pour into that because that is the relationship I desire. And I'm gonna pour into that because those are the friends I desire. And I'm not gonna give that because that pulls from me and that sucks my energy. And I'm not going to interact with this human because they just suck the life out of me. I don't like it. And I'm not gonna do this, right? You get into that mode of making those decisions. I literally was gonna join a writing group and I stopped. I said no, because those people are gonna suck the life out of me. I would I even just meeting up with them one day, I walked away like drained as shit. And I was like, nope, not for me, walking away. And I love that once I'm in the flow of the universe, the wrong people just drift apart. I've done some closure with some. I don't need to do closure with any of them. But you know, you you have some that still linger and you're like, okay, I I need to address this. Boom. Cut the cord. Burn it down. I think that's it for now. See you next week. Love and light. It begins here. Thanks for listening. Love and light to all you beautiful human.
