The Leadership No One Prepares You For: Mental Health, Motherhood & Courage

In this episode of Iconic Leadership with Karissa, I’m joined by Jenn Jorgensen — a mother and volunteer who embodies a truth we don’t talk about enough: leadership doesn’t begin in the boardroom, it begins at home.

Jenn’s advocacy for children’s mental health grew out of motherhood — from the responsibility, intuition, and courage required to lead a family through emotional challenges with care and awareness. Her story reminds us that being a mother is one of the most influential leadership roles there is, shaping not just children, but communities and future generations.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why motherhood is leadership — even without a title
• The role parents play in shaping children’s mental health
• What it means to advocate for your child in a system that can feel overwhelming
• How emotional presence, boundaries, and awareness are acts of leadership
• Why leading a family requires as much courage as leading a company

This episode honors the unseen leadership happening in homes every single
