The Jill Cruz Podcast

Jane Baudelaire has been a victim of medical gaslighting almost her entire life. As someone with a chronic illness, she’s seen the inside of a doctor’s office way more than the rest of us. And being in the medical field, she has also seen the backend of how things work. Being a woman, Jane’s concerns were often overlooked by providers. Today, we’re talking about how she has been able to advocate for herself and how you can advocate for yourself.

What is The Jill Cruz Podcast?

If you are a woman in leadership and/or aspiring for greater leadership and you are looking to have it all; success in your career, personal life, and health, you're going to love this podcast season.

I am incredibly passionate about this topic because I believe that as women leaders we can have it all! We don't have to settle for being successful in just one area of life such as our careers. We can orchestrate a life that is fulfilling, pleasurable, and healthy in all areas. We are all a "work-in-progress" but it's important to BELIEVE we can have it all or we surely won't get that.

We will be speaking about what it takes to be a successful leader AND have a thriving personal life. Topics include passion, purpose, grit, compassion, self-awareness, thought leadership, self-care, wellness, visionary thinking, and strategic leadership.
