Stories of Change: Helping You Navigate What's Next

Life doesn't come with a roadmap.

On Stories of Change, Judy Oskam talks with entrepreneurs, leaders, artists, educators and students about moments that change the direction of their lives. We talk about the decisions they make, the challenges they face, and what they learn along the way.

Every conversation is an opportunity to learn from someone who's been there. Whether you're navigating a career transition, building something new, or simply wondering what's next, you'll hear personal stories and practical lessons you can apply to your own life.

Every episode helps you:

• Recognize opportunities and thoughtful decisions.

• Learn from the experiences—and mistakes—of others.

• Build the confidence to keep moving forward through uncertainty.

• Apply practical lessons to your own life, career, and relationships.

Because every story has something to teach us.

Show Notes

March is Women’s History Month. And Monday, March 8, 2021 is International Women's Day. The 2021 International Women's Day theme is is Choose to Challenge. To recognize women who choose to challenge, I’m shining the spotlight on some of our outstanding guests from season 1.

A solo entrepreneur for more than 25 years, Elisa Victoria Jimenez decided at the age of 15 that her life would be her greatest work of art. She's interested in the relationship between art, life and humanity.

If you follow fashion - you might recognize Jimenez from her work with celebrity clients like Cher, Sarah Jessica Parker, Serena Williams and more. Over the years, her designs have graced the pages of Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and Elle. Elisa is also a Project Runway alum. Her creative roots run deep - she’s the daughter of famed designer and fine artist Vicky Balcou and the late internationally known sculptor Luis Jimenez. (You can listen to my interview with Vicky Balcou from season 1.)

Key Takeaways

Where you spend your money matters
Art is life, life is art movement
Learn about business so you can help change it.

“Keep change as your best friend, Elisa, and the unknown as your constant lover. If you know this about life, you will be better for it.” – Words of wisdom from mother Vicky Balcou to daughter Elisa Jimenez.
