The Jill Cruz Podcast

We are in control of our health. Even when there are external factors or genetic predispositions that could threaten our health, we need to take accountability for our choices.

Donna has been able to take her family’s tragic history of heart disease and use it to motivate her to take charge of her health.

Donna uses a tactic that I teach to my clients as well, and that is checking in with your body and listening to it. How do I feel after I eat something heavy and greasy? Do I feel the same way when I eat lighter, whole foods?

Your body is supposed to function a certain way, and it knows what it needs. Start listening to your body today.

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.
