✨ What if leadership wasn’t about control, but about capacity? What if your descent was actually the beginning of your rising?
In this powerful and poetic episode of the Raising Women Podcast, we welcome Jessica Rudin, a teacher of cyclical leadership and voice-led transformation. Through myth, personal story, and embodied wisdom, she invites us into a radically different rhythm of living — one that softens, spirals, and reclaims.
Together with hosts Nina and Jocelyn, Jessica unpacks the journey from performance to presence, from burnout to breath, from good-girl conditioning to grounded feminine power. Through her retelling of the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna’s descent and the heroine’s journey, Jessica reflects on her own unraveling from overachievement and silencing into self - trust, body wisdom, and radical truth - speaking.
🗣️ “You don’t have to bloom all year. Stillness is not a problem to solve — it’s a sacred season.”
🎧 LISTEN IN ON THE CONVERSATION:
💜 Unlearning the good girl
How saying yes when we mean no slowly disconnects us from our voice—and how to come back.
💜 Descent as sacred
What happens when we stop pushing through and let the breakdown guide us to a deeper truth.
💜From control to capacity
Why real leadership begins in the body—not the mind—and how to lead from breath, rhythm, and presence.
💜 Cyclical leadership vs linear hustle
Why “the hero’s journey” isn’t the only map for growth—and how the feminine path of spirals and seasons reclaims power differently.
💜 Speaking from the heart
How voice isn’t just a communication tool, but a bridge back to your values and inner knowing.
💜 Remember: You’re allowed to speak your heart’s truth. And you don’t need to conquer to be whole.
