The Jill Cruz Podcast

The way our society equates physical appearance with health is f****d up.

Even when Betsy lost 100 pounds, she didn’t feel any better. She couldn’t feel truly happy with herself until she stopped letting the number on the scale define her. Like many women, Betsy’s body image issues began when she was younger listening to external messages that said: thin = better person.

It takes a lot of work to address our inner issues affecting our health. Correction of the negative voices in our head is the first step to living your happiest and healthiest life.

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.
