In this episode of Why I Believe, I sit down with Jill Cirillo, former corporate leader turned founder of Faith Meets Leadership, to talk about the shift from striving for success to surrendering to God\u2019s purpose. Jill spent over 20 years climbing the corporate ladder, checking all the boxes, achieving success, and carrying the weight of expectations. But every Sunday night\u2026 the pressure hit. The stress. The overwhelm. The question: Is this really what life is about? That moment became the beginning of a deeper journey, not just believing in God, but actually living it out. We talk about: The difference between saying you believe\u2026 and living like you do Letting go of striving, pressure, and external validation Learning how to truly build a relationship with God The \u201ckeystone habit\u201d that changed everything How faith transforms leadership, family, and daily life Trusting God, even when you don\u2019t have the full plan Jill also shares powerful \u201cGod moments\u201d that guided her to step away from corporate life and into her calling; bringing faith into business and leadership. Her message is clear: Belief isn\u2019t just something you think\u2026 it\u2019s something you live. If you\u2019ve been feeling the pressure to do more, be more, or prove more, this episode will challenge you to pause, surrender, and realign your life with what truly matters.
