20. Monisha Kapur - Keeping the Promise to Myself for Myself

One of the most common qualities of all moms is being selfless. We always put our families first and ourselves second. This is especially true for parents of sick kids.

Monisha Kapur sat down with me today to talk about the consequences of putting yourself last on the totem pole.

As you change your priorities to put yourself higher on your list, make promises to yourself. This creates a level of commitment that is harder to break than a traditional goal.

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.
