Jill and Elise’s Passioneer Q&A 
SO: What’s your definition of “passion?”
JILL: That buzz that will not let me go. Whenever I go back to it, there is a shot of pleasure and feeling that I am in the perfect spot.
ELISE: That feeling of being lit up, and in love with life
SO: What are your biggest passions for serving others, and how are you expressing them (also include hobbies and volunteering)?
JILL:Sharing what I learn is a huge passion of mine. And also, sharing/promoting other people’s passions. I get so excited for people who embody their passion I want the world to take notice. Another passion is dancing and cultivating a healthy, sensory relationship with my body. I express that through the joy of movement, teaching Nia and being in relationship with my bodies desires and needs.
ELISE: I love seeing people move from depressed to happy, blah to excited, muddy to clear, fizzle to sizzle, and knowing I’ve been a catalyst in their movement. As a Certified Passion Test Facilitator and Mentor, I help people get clear on their passions and give them the support to begin change in their lives. As co-host of The Sisters of Sizzle Talk Radio, I provide inspirational examples of embracing your passion and taking risks, as well as a forum for guests to share their stories. As a stylist for Stella and Dot jewelry I get to watch gals light up when they put something on that makes them feel beautiful. Aren’t I lucky?!
SO:Your biggest challenge(s) in leaping into your passions for serving others, and how you have addressed them?
JILL: Monetizing my passions has been my biggest challenge. Creating a way to continue to serve others and also serve my desires for sustainable income.
ELISE: Creating a lucrative business around what I do naturally. Lots of educating myself and getting help from the experts.
SO: What have been the key factors in your success?
JILL: Adaptability. Creativity. A willingness and curiosity to learn more, something new.
ELISE: Perseverance, coaching from others, support systems, partnering
SO: What one word/quality best describes your journey?
JILL: Freedom ELISE: Adventure
SO: Your experience of “prosperity,” as you define it, in making the leap?
JILL: I prosper in what I value the most—relationships and the freedom to dictate what I do with my time.
ELISE: Loving what I do every day, having freedom, making a difference, making enough $ to not have to worry about it
SO: What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned in making the leap?
JILL: Partnering with someone that compliments my weaknesses.
ELISE: I’ve always loved what I am doing at the time…if I don’t, I’m willing to change it. Must be open to change
SO: What’s your support system look like; how did you create it? I’m still learning to do this.
JILL: With the value of freedom also comes the shadow side of autonomy. With autonomy comes a “do it myself” attitude that often hinders creating a support system.
ELISE: Friends that are positive and interesting and passionate, business connections through networking events and organizations, spiritually like-minded people, coaches to keep me on track
SO: What wisdom do you have for someone who’s scared/discouraged about their own leap?
JILL: Know yourself. Be willing to see where you may need help. Look at your habit, places you have been stuck before and reach out for getting past those. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses and preparing for them.
ELISE: My mantra has always been “what’s the worse that can happen?”. When I ask that, I realize I can always go back to the old, can always get a second job to make $. But if I don’t try, all I have is regret, which is worse than anything else that can happen in life.
Thanks Sisters of Sizzle and Happy Passioneering!
