The Jill Cruz Podcast

When the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of people purchased home gyms, but few cared to worry about their mental health.
Haylee is an incredible counselor from Florida, and she’s here to tell us why it’s so important to take the stigma out of seeking help for your mental health. People are always jumping up and down to share their milestones in their physical health journey, how come we don’t do the same for our mental health journey?

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.
