The Jill Cruz Podcast

Thanks to dietary dogma, we’ve placed moralizing language on food and our behaviors associated with food. Eating too much cake is “bad”, doing a bunch of cardio to make up for the cake is “good”. What would happen if we replaced that moralizing language and judgment with curiosity and compassion?

Nicole lives and practices in Texas and she is an LPC Associate, Supervised by Kelley Doss, LPC-S, CEDS. She completely changed her thought pattern of judgment and found peace on the other side. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it will help you live a fuller 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.
