We were lucky to catch up with Jessica Marquez Cable recently and have shared our conversation below.
Jessica, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
I found my purpose gradually, through the day-to-day work of mothering.
I spent most of my life—I’m 48 now—in what I call “fix-it energy.” Survival mode. Always trying to fit in, do the right thing, chase success, hoping it would finally make me feel enough. But it never did.
When I became a mom, I was determined to raise my kids to feel unconditionally loved, worthy, whole, and enough. But my instinct to fix everything kept getting in the way. Even with the best intentions, I was repeating cycles I thought I had outgrown (and some I didn’t even know existed). I was trying to give my kids something I hadn’t yet learned to give myself.
That’s when I got curious about another way to mother, to live. I learned to get still—really still—and pay attention to what was happening in my body, not just my mind. I started noticing my nervous system responses, the tension I carried, the moments I went into overdrive or shut down. That awareness helped me see that my reactions weren’t broken parts; they were learned patterns. And the more I understood them, the more I softened.
I stopped trying to self-fix and moved into a practice of self-understanding. And in that slower, quieter space, I realized that everything I’d been searching for—validation, enoughness, worth—was already within me. I finally felt whole, just as I was.
That’s when I knew this was the work I’m here to do. Because if healing was possible for me, it was possible for other women and moms too. And they didn’t need another program telling them what to improve. They needed support with nervous system awareness, with slowing down, with remembering who they are—and with gently unpatterning the habits that keep them stuck surviving, not choosing.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I created Marble Mujer as a space of stillness for women who are redefining what it means to be a mother, a woman, and a whole human being.
Most of the women I support are cycle-breakers—the ones who’ve spent years doing what they were “supposed” to do, only to realize it never really fit. They’ve given and given, held everything together, and pushed through more than anyone sees… but somewhere along the way, they lost pieces of themselves. They come to the work because they’re ready for something different.
Through private coaching, they reconnect with who they are beneath the roles, soften the beliefs that kept them small or stuck, and start choosing from a place of truth instead of obligation.
What makes this work powerful is that it’s not about productivity or becoming “better.” It’s about understanding yourself on a deeper level. We look at the conditioning, stories, and inherited expectations shaping how women think they’re supposed to show up—and from that awareness, new possibilities open.
My hope is that every woman leaves this work feeling rooted, resourced, and deeply connected to her own inner guidance—not from pushing, but from remembering.
Marble Mujer continues to expand with new resources, writing, workshops, and ways to support women reclaiming their wholeness. There is so much more ahead—this is just the beginning.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back, the skills that shaped my journey the most were developing a capacity for curiosity, a comfort with uncertainty, and giving myself permission to keep learning.
Curiosity kept me open—asking deeper questions instead of holding on to old patterns. Becoming comfortable with uncertainty softened my relationship with change; it helped me move forward even when the path wasn’t clear, trusting that clarity would come in its own time. And giving myself permission to keep learning allowed me to release the pressure to have everything figured out and lean into my growth with humility, honesty, and gratitude.
Community has also been essential. Immersing myself in spaces with people who are also doing the work is healing and expansive—we were never meant to do this alone.
For anyone early in their journey: stay curious, embrace uncertainty as part of the process, keep learning, and seek out people who are growing too. These practices will help steady you through change and give you the courage to step fully into the life you were made for.
What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?
My biggest area of growth this past year has been giving myself permission to be fully myself—without apology, without over-explaining, and without shrinking to fit old narratives.
This year brought a lot of change, mostly in the form of loss. It felt like a shedding of identities, beliefs, and stories I’ve outgrown. It asked me to confront the places where I was still outsourcing my worth, waiting for someone to say I’m good enough, or holding onto expectations that were never really mine. The losses revealed everything holding me back from trusting myself fully.
What emerged on the other side was a deeper sense of personal power. I reclaimed parts of myself I had set aside, and I learned to trust my own voice with far more certainty. It’s been one of the most liberating seasons of my life and has shaped the way I show up in my work, my relationships, and within myself.
