Jchillan with Chillangillan: Recent Episodes
Julie Gillan
A podcast for those in their 20-something years navigating the post-grad life. The goal of this podcast is to have my friends, family, and community members share their biggest life lessons they have learned so far at whatever age they are currently at. Entering the "real world" after college can be scary, confusing, and sad, while also being exciting, hopeful, and fun all at the same time. Each episode will be a conversation with someone close to me in my life discussing important life lessons and topics. Community is everything and together we can conquer our post grad 20's!
Recorded in February 2024, Bridget talks about The Four Agreements written by Don Miguel Ruiz and how her biggest life lesson to date is to not take things personally. We also discuss topics such as forgiving yourself and others, and how to handle life when life doesn’t go your way. •Thanks to our podcast editor- Allison Hanger •Purchase your ditchthefrogs shirt here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1646086151/find-the-prince-ditch-the-frogs •Follow @ditchthefrogs on Instagram! •Purchase The Four Agreements here: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Agreements-Practical-Personal-Freedom/dp/1878424319
