What would your life look like if you only chose what you'd want for your child?
That single question changed everything for Soledad Piñero Misa.

In this deeply honest episode of the Raising Women Podcast, visionary social entrepreneur, Soledad Piñero Misa, joins Jocelyn and Nina to unpack what it means to stop performing for success—and start choosing it with intention.

At 25, Soledad’s unexpected pregnancy cracked open her need for control and perfection.

Whether you’re at a crossroads, burned out by ambition, or quietly questioning what success really means — this episode will meet you there.

🗣️ "Leadership is to be rested in your own beauty so you can hold space for the brilliance of others.” 

🎧 Listen in for powerful insights on:

• How an unplanned pregnancy became a defining moment of personal truth
• What the “golden spine” really means—and how to return to it daily
• The question that changed Soledad’s life: Would I choose this for my child?
• Facing criticism, letting go of control, and choosing joy anyway
• The link between vulnerability, activism, and inner freedom

✨ 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.

✨ Why do we keep accepting systems that don’t serve us? Why do we continue to push ourselves to fit into molds that don't align with who we are? In this episode, we dive deep into the power of rejecting the norms that limit us—and why embracing our own values is the true path to freedom.

Nora Rahimian is an anti-capitalist business coach, community builder, and cultural strategist. She helps creatives and leaders build businesses that don’t require them to abandon their values. Her work is all about centering care, community, and joy—without compromising integrity.

You’ll hear us reflect on what it truly means to be empowered and how small daily choices can help shift entire cultures in our work places and communities.

🗣️ “The systems of power benefit when we work harder for less. The real power is in choosing to divest from them.”
