You Can Be a Mother and a Boss: Jessica Cristobal on Purpose and Pivoting

In this grownwoman segment, Jessica Cristobal breaks down the myth that women must choose between family, purpose, and ambition. From pausing her career after becoming a mother to building Leading Ladies League into a traveling movement, Jessica shares how seasons of life demand different versions of leadership. This conversation reframes support roles as real power, honors women as CEOs of households, and reminds us that growth is not linear and neither is purpose. If you’ve ever felt pressure to be everything at once or questioned when it’s time to pivot, this episode is a grounded reminder that evolving is not quitting. It’s becoming.
