In this episode of Rooted Voices, Sacred Bones, Jean and Joanne speak with Dr. Jillian Starman, founder of Wise Women Leadership, about women in transition, the inner work of leadership, and the quiet power of redefining success from the inside out.

Jillian’s work supports women entrepreneurs and leaders as they navigate business, family, personal growth, boundaries, confidence, resilience, productivity, and the very human pressure to keep moving even when something inside is asking for a different rhythm.

This conversation moves beneath the polished language of leadership and into the lived reality of becoming. Jean, Joanne, and Jillian explore the space between an old identity falling away and a new one not yet fully formed. They talk about boundaries, energy, success, productivity, and the cost of trying to lead from a life that no longer fits.

Together, they consider what happens when women stop organizing themselves around old definitions of success and begin listening for the life that is actually asking to be lived.
