"She who is truest to her authentic self, wins.” - Jill Nowacki
Happy Mother’s Day! In honor of the day, I have an incredibly special guest on the show: my favorite mom, my partner, and the person I get to explore the world with. Jill Nowacki was one of the first and most popular guests on the show, so I’m delighted to have her back for another conversation.
If you’ve listened to the podcast before, you’ve probably heard that many guests answer “mom” to the question of who comes to mind when they hear the word “success.” Jill and I will dig into why this is the case, how much moms do for their families, and how much they often need to juggle and how much pressure they’re under. A lot of this pressure comes from within themselves, Jill explains, but moms don’t make it up and some of it relates to outside expectations.
From there, we’ll shift into talking about moms in the workplace. Jill will share not only her own perspective as both a mom and a professional leader, but also her thoughts on how best to extend opportunities to moms at work without pressuring them. We’ll take some time to chat about Jill’s core values, and how she applies them both at work and in her role as a mom.
Other topics we’ll explore include a personal mission statement (and how to create your own), finding balance and saying “no,” striving to feel good about pursuing what lights you up, an amazing favorite experience that Jill has had with her son, and more. Don’t miss this fantastic conversation with an incredible guest!
