53. Anita Kopacz - Zero F’s Given

Anita Kopacz is a thriving survivor of sexual abuse and the creator of Zero F’s Given. Zero F's Given is a campaign to raise awareness and help victimized and disenfranchised populations heal from trauma, find their voice, and reclaim their power. Zero F’s Given is literally that... a day of giving Zero F’s. It’s a day of abstinence in honor of all of the people who couldn’t say no.

Today we talked about healing and the power of community in the healing process.

We also spoke about Anita’s health journey with long-haul Covid and her amazing book, Shallow Waters. Lots of great stuff!

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.
