As we record the final episodes of Besties & Business, we’re diving into the meaningful conversations we still want to share with you. In Episode 204, we explored how endings don’t always have to be seen as negative. Today, we’re building on that by sharing how each of us recognized it was time to step away from Besties & Business.

Deciding to move on in your career can feel overwhelming, but the truth is that the only person who truly knows what’s best for you—is YOU. By sharing our experiences, we hope to inspire you to explore your own inner world. Remember, you’re never alone—and we’re always here if you want to chat.

Hey Besties we are SO excited for this interview with Jillian Murphy!

Jillian is someone who we have looked up to for a while here at Besties & Business! So ofcourse when we started chatting with her & she said she would come on the podcast we were SO excited!

This conversation is FILLED with so much value! We are SO grateful for Jillian taking the time to sit down with us to have this amazing conversation!

Jillian is someone who is So beyond real! She chats in this episode about how the last year or so of her life has been & what has been motivating her to show up in such a real & authentic way! Jillian really opens up to us about how she has stepped into her power in what she does by truly surrounding herself with the right people! She really opens up about what community has done for her & why it is so important!

Let's get to know Jillian:

Jillian Murphy is a highly sought-after sales and business mentor who has mastered the art of sales and scaling not only her own business but has helped hundreds of other online business owners as well. With over 22 years of business experience in sales/marketing and growing multiple businesses of her own, she has now made it her mission to help online business owners gain REAL results in sales and messaging. Sales is truly the oxygen of your business and the most important skill any business owner can acquire.
