What happens when the version of leadership that got you here no longer supports where you’re going next?

In this episode of Next Level Women, Jennifer Perri sits down with Jackie Cook, Founder & CEO of Momentum Group, for a grounded and deeply honest conversation about reinvention, self-trust, leadership, and learning how to move forward before certainty arrives.

Together, they explore the pressure many women feel to have everything figured out before they begin, the emotional exhaustion that comes from shrinking in rooms that no longer fit, and why clarity is often built through movement, not perfection.

Jackie shares powerful insight on navigating uncertainty in high-stakes environments, trusting your voice before the proof exists, and redefining leadership as a practice of navigation rather than control.

Key Takeaways:

• Leadership today requires navigation, not perfection.
• Women often believe confidence should come before movement, but confidence is built through movement itself.
• Clarity is created in real time.
• You do not need every answer before taking the next step. Momentum happens when you begin moving forward.
• The right rooms matter. Many women lose confidence in environments that require them to shrink. Growth often requires finding spaces that allow your full voice and leadership to exist.

One of the most powerful moments from this episode: “Your momentum happens in the movement.”
