EP147: Let Go To Let In More Than You Ever Thought Possible with Jill Sherer Murray

My guest this week is Jill Sherer Murray. Jill is an award-winning author, journalist, marketing, and communications expert, TEDx speaker, and founder of “Let Go For It,” a lifestyle brand aimed at improving people’s situation through the simple mantra of letting go. 

In her TEDx Talk, “The Unstoppable Power of Letting Go” that has million views on YouTube, she shares her own difficult journey of letting go to successfully move forward. That experience led her to write her best-selling book, Big Wild Love: The Unstoppable Power of Letting Go for the many people who reached out to her from all over the world for advice and inspiration after watching her TEDx Talk.

Jill studied improvisational comedy at the famous Second City Training Center in Chicago, wrote a popular blog called “Diary of a Writer in Mid-Life Crisis” for the former Wild River Review magazine, and let go of just about everything to be written about in Shape Magazine—12 times—as part of a year-long assignment to document her weight loss journey for readers. She’s been featured on dozens of podcasts and in Reader’s Digest, Bustle, Brit + Co, Travel & Leisure, Women’s World, Thrive Global, Psychology Today, MSN.com, Happify Daily, Kintsugi, Josh Talks, TEDx, Moonshot Conversations, and more. 

Her life goal is to show people that if they're stuck, holding on to what they do NOT want, is not where they need to stay. They don't need another person to create forward motion--or permission. They just need to choose to let go and know they have everything they need inside of them RIGHT NOW to have the life they desire! Whether talking about love or work or whatever, Jill finds just talking about using letting go as a tool for creating change--and not just in conceptual terms, but in practical terms---inspires people to take action.
