Podcast - Limor Bergman Gross

Welcome to ‘From a Woman to a Leader,’ a podcast dedicated to discussing women’s unique challenges in tech leadership and providing actionable tips to help overcome those challenges and grow your career in the tech industry.
In each episode, I will speak with successful women in tech who have navigated the industry and come out on top, sharing their stories, insights, and advice for other women looking to do the same.
Whether you’re just starting out in your tech career or a seasoned professional looking to take the next step, this podcast is for you.

Have you ever looked around and thought,

“This is the life I worked so hard for… so why does it still feel so exhausting?”

You’re not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with Jo Stone, a former Chief Marketing Officer turned high-performance coach and founder of the Balance Institute. Jo had the dream job, the dream house, and all the “success” society told her to chase—until she realized it was burning her out.

Jo shares what most leadership programs get wrong about helping women thrive, the hidden ways we sabotage ourselves through perfectionism, people-pleasing, and procrastination—and how to finally let go of doing it all and start living on your own terms.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ How to redefine success in a way that energizes—not depletes—you

✅ The deeper mindset shifts women need (that leadership programs overlook)

✅ The 3 hidden traps keeping high-achieving women stuck and overwhelmed

✅ Why building a new identity is the key to unlocking confidence and influence

✅ How to stop being the “go-to person” and become a true leader

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly doing more but still not feeling enough—this conversation will change how you lead, live, and love your life.
