The Jill Cruz Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jill Cruz
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.

📕 Book Taking Care of You is a powerful tool women can use to be more empowered in their health. 02:00
👙 Stop talking just about the ‘bikini medicine’: the book focuses on different clinical conditions because those impact women differently than men. 03:44
💊 Be well prepared when going to clinicians: a lot of drugs are pulled from the market because they are not working for or designed for women. 08:44
⚠️ There is no woman who should feel helpless: be in charge of your body and change your healthcare professionals if needed. 14:02
👩🦰 Women are assertive for others’ health but not so much for themselves: ‘Tiger Mom’ mode vs Single patient mode. 20:12
🤯 Kanwal is a medical anthropologist: their research shows the very bad experiences women have had in the healthcare system. 21:49
🌊 The power of one pebble in the pond: we all have the ability, regardless of our socioeconomic status, to improve our health through our personal decisions. 27:26
🌟 Shared decision-making vs informed consent: taking into account the values and preferences of your patient is essential. 31:18
😳 50% of low back surgeries and a third of knee replacement surgeries are inappropriate: there are different solutions. 36:02
👠 Women in the lower socio-economic status are not being empowered to ask the right questions: don’t kid yourselves, all women have this issue. 39:31

⚠️ Traumatic experience offsets your behaviors: if we don't understand the trauma, then we don't understand the response. 15:28

🌟 Jane advocating for herself in the medical system started when she was 16: when you are asking questions for a reason. 03:39
🤕 We fractured the healthcare system: healthcare is a money-making business, and it is hard to navigate that. 06:13
🤰 Your birth plan is a joke for nurses in birthing units. 09:41
❗ How the system works and how to work the system: some meds are not good to use. 11:51
🤩 Caught off guard in the hospital office: What if we could have a patient -advocate be available to patients? 16:41
🙁 Discrimination that Jane experienced with care: the difference between tolerance and acceptance. 20:05
ℹ️ We can’t solve problems overnight: we can much more easily arm ourselves with information. 23:35
👧 Her parents were told that she was going to be blind and intellectually disabled: Jane’s diagnosis and lack of patient education about her immune system. 28:36

🧠 Mental health has been stigmatized: a lot of things are going on in our world, and we can't take it on all by ourselves. 02:20

🏋️♀️ Kaylee’s story: body dysmorphia, an eating disorder, and excessive exercising. 12:53

⚖️ Women’s weight reflects how we are valued: the shame and blame game is so sad. 21:35

❤️ Jill suggests an entirely different context we can operate: when content becomes looser and more flexible. 03:17
😰 I gotta get it right, what is proper: the fear about will my tribe accept me if I look like this? 04:12
🥰 Let's all lift ourselves up and move over to a better context, a better paradigm, a better world: unconditional self-love. 08:28
⏫ Intuitive Eating is this whole industry that has risen up as a reactionary measure against the diet culture: but go one step further. 11:23

🎆 Anyone can be an innovator: it means creating something new that creates value. 02:51
👩🍼 Being an innovator as a housewife and a stay-home-mom. 06:19
🤔 We tend to overcomplicate things: innovation is coming from your emotions, from your guts, and it’s serving the world. 06:55
🧠 Feminine and masculine energy in the innovation process: the secret is in the balance of two energies and intuition that comes from within. 08:35
⚖️ We're all on the spectrum between masculine and feminine: why being centered is good. 14:17
🤓 What are some traits that are more feminine or masculine? Our brains can rewire and change. 17:23
✅ Importance of diversity and inclusivity in innovation and teams: gray and white matter in our brains. 19:43
❗ The movement of Conscious Capitalism: we are hurting the world and ourselves by not allowing more people to have access to innovation. 21:53

🙋♀️ Michela is a therapist who is incorporating Neurofeedback into her counseling sessions: primarily helping women who’ve experienced trauma. 02:08
🤷♀️ What does it mean to “experience trauma”? Minimizing the way that we feel leads to all sorts of diagnoses. 04:14
👉 Weight loss is a byproduct of improved health: trauma might affect human behavior without us knowing it. 06:35
🔁 When patterns of behavior are still recurring in the weight loss process: somewhere deep underneath, trauma might provoke this. 09:28
🧐 We're not looking at external factors that probably impacted our inner dialogue: do we really hate our legs or did someone tell us to do that? 11:26
🤩 The cathartic process of sitting with your emotions: the cyclical pattern of chicken and egg is a lot less negative. 14:07
😤 Physical and mental health diseases are related to suppressed rage: you don't really know it's there until it bubbles over and comes out.16:47
🧠 Neurofeedback teaches the brain to re-regulate and let go of old patterns to be able actually to change the behavior. 21:47
📌 QEEG Brain Map measures the activity on the surface of the skull: forty sessions are needed to track changes in the brain. 23:11
🤯 Neurofeedback sessions: The brain naturally feels good and wants to stay in that mode but illnesses, events, and trauma change it. 25:09
💊 The pill should not be the first solution: 80% of adults are on at least one medication. 27:07
❗ Depression can’t be fixed with antidepressants: it can be genetic, but for most people, it is a reaction to their environment. 29:39
🩺 All options should be laid out for the patient to choose from: when you need to find a new doctor. 32:07
😇 The best predictor of you getting what you want is liking your therapist and feeling close to them. 34:23

👩🏽🎤 Lauren is a performer in musicals, film, and TV: building back the strength and stamina to be able to do the things she loves. 03:47
🧘🏽♀️ Anatomy associated with singing benefits from yoga and running. After pregnancy, she needs to work daily on her abs just to be able to sing and perform. 06:05
🤰🏽 Diastasis recti and postpartum recovery: you don’t have to lose weight, but you have to re-knit abs together. 09:37
😍 Settling and grounding for mental health: meditation, connecting with family, tracking her time, and having an accountability friend. 11:45
⏰ How tracking time is helping Lauren: the process of tracking time and tracking emotions on a daily basis to get structure and create a more realistic schedule. 14:07
❗ Try to apply time audits in your life. 20:42
🎭 Moments of a performer’s job can be glamorous, but most of the time it is hard work and unpaid preparation for auditions. 21:33
😫 Being a recovering perfectionist and having issues with procrastinating: getting burned out and tired. 23:06
👉 Thinking about what are the things that are giving the greatest impact in the least amount of time is the perfect baseline to change your patterns of behavior and life. 26:30
🦾 Think about your body as a beautiful machine: choreographing life to run smoothly, but we are humans with emotions, not machines. 27:21
😇 Therapy has been amazing for Lauren: rationalize how to work through the problem and chase your base emotion to see what is lacking in your life. 30:33
🤩 Emotions are helpful guides of where to go and acknowledge that: trust your intuition. 35:41
🗣️ We have been trained over time to be disconnected from our body and internal wisdom: nine out of ten times, intuition is your body trying to speak to you. 37:25

🤗 The importance of self-compassion and forgiveness: treat ourselves just like you would a friend. 09:28
🌟 Life is beautifully brutal: all the good that came out of the traumatic events in Heather’s life. 10:48

😁 When you can joke about yourself it shows that acceptance occurred. 16:37

⚠️ Nothing good comes from a black-and-white way of thinking. 01:28
🥅 The goal is not to practice self-love all day every day but to be aware we want to practice it more. 03:18
🧚♀️ It is a challenging journey, not a fairy tale with a final destination. 04:45
🎯 If you approach weight loss with this new perspective, that’s the opposite of giving up. 05:54

2️⃣ Two things Cait thinks can change peoples’ lives: resentment and boundaries. 03:05
🤯 Underneath resentment is a feeling of unfairness; either because you're over-giving or because you're under-recognized. 06:23
⚠️ Resentment is a powerful tool: The most important question you need to learn to ask yourself. 07:00
