S3 Episode 11: Leah Jacobson on Nonprofit Entrepreneurship and Spiritual Motherhood
CWIB Presidents Taryn DeLong and Elise Crawford Gallagher’s new book, Holy Ambition: Thriving as a Catholic Woman at Work and at Home, is out and available for purchase!
Season 3 of Catholic Women Lead will share excerpts from Elise and Taryn’s interviews with 16 Catholic businesswomen. Their stories are included in the book, but there wasn’t room for all of their wisdom, so we’re sharing it here on our podcast.
In episode 11, Leah Jacobson, founder of The Guiding Star Project, shares her career story, her insights on following God's call for your career, and her perspective on spiritual motherhood and entrepreneurship.
