69. When Food is Your Reward

Receiving without giving can feel wrong in today's transactional society. We enter relationships and all forms of work with the expectation that there will be a balance of giving and receiving, but what happens when the balance is off? Feeling like you are owed can lead to a need to fill the “receiving void” with bad habits like eating. We need to learn to shift our mindsets and give and receive without expectations to avoid the feeling of imbalance. Be kind to yourself, you deserve to receive everything you need to feel balanced and happy!

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.
