MEET THE FOUNDER and ceo
Jess Ringgenberg
Jess is a corporate advisor, researcher, and the heart behind ELIXR.
With a deep belief that fulfillment comes from within, she left a successful corporate career in biotech to focus on closing systemic gaps for women and mothers in the workplace.
Jess’s journey began with her own experiences navigating leadership roles as a working mother in a Fortune 500 company, where she saw firsthand the unique challenges that women and working moms face.
This insight led her to pursue advanced studies in neuroscience, positive psychology, and matrescence—a field focused on the identity shift into motherhood.
Today, Jess lives in Dallas, TX, with her husband and two boys, building a life centered on being present, redefining success, and discovering purpose beyond traditional expectations.
Our story
ELIXR was founded to empower women and mothers in the workplace to thrive as whole individuals. After years of working in leadership and advocating for women, Jess realized that many workplaces overlook the real, multifaceted lives of women, especially mothers.
ELIXR was born out of her desire to bridge that gap by blending science-backed frameworks, matrescence research, and self-coaching tools that help women re-engage and flourish professionally.
ELIXR’s mission goes beyond providing education; it’s about creating lasting change in corporate culture by transforming workplaces into empowering spaces that support women at every stage.
Our programs offer accessible, transformative tools grounded in neuroscience and positive psychology, paving the way for women and working moms to lead, thrive, and feel fulfilled.
Motherhood is a game-changer
“Matrescence” is the existential journey of motherhood and a cornerstone of ELIXR’s work
3 matrescence truths
This is a massive identity shift with no back button at every stage. The Pursuit of Motherhood, Early, Middle, and Later Motherhood.
Societal expectations were not built to support “perfection” in work and motherhood.
Women in matrescence are primed for more! Motherhood and the realities of the workforce create hurdles for women to become the CEO’s of their working motherhood journey.
