Jodie Baudek Podcast

This week’s episode is for anyone who’s had one of those weeks where you’re doing everything right… and then communication still falls apart anyway. Jim’s fired up because he’s been showing up — early mornings, more time for himself, even bought an old-school alarm clock so he could stop grabbing his phone first thing — and then boom… a complete breakdown with people he’s working with. The frustra...

This week we’re talking about recharging — not the fluffy version, the real one. What are you actually doing to refuel your mind, your body, your spirit so you can show up fully? For me, it’s connection. Dancing. Loud music. Puppy time. Seeing my nephews and remembering how to look at life through a child’s eyes. It’s celebrating instead of staying so laser-focused that I forget to live. For Jim,...

Someone asked Jim mid-filming why he wanted to do this show — and his answer was simple: growth and love. The past year forced him into deeper self-reflection, harder conversations, and real vulnerability. And what he found was that when you truly start loving yourself, you show up differently for everyone else. That’s why he’s here — to remind you you’re not alone and to bring more light into a w...

This episode started with, “We need to talk…” — which we all know are the four scariest words in any relationship. We dive into how to actually handle difficult conversations without blowing everything up. For me, it starts with watching patterns. People have them. Before I react, I sit back, ask questions, and really look at where the breakdown is coming from. Then it’s the sandwich approach — le...

This episode is proof that vision becomes reality. Back in 2017 on the Dr. Jim and Jodie show, Jodie first met Lisa on The Steve Harvey Show and instantly knew one day she’d be interviewing her on her own platform. A year later, that exact moment happened. In this powerful conversation, Lisa shares what it really means to say “I am my own rescue.” From public assistance to building a global moveme...

From the 2017 Dr. Jim and Jodie show, this episode tackles a question that hits home for all of us: Are you truly showing up as your best… or are you just showing up and trying to make the best of what’s in front of you? We open up about the pressure of feeling behind, wondering why things aren’t advancing faster, and questioning whether we’re actually preparing ourselves to succeed — or just reac...

This is a repost of the very first episode of the Dr. Jim and Jodie show from 2017 — where it all began. In this conversation, we talk about discovering your purpose and learning to find validation wherever you go. The Universe is always speaking — it’s just a matter of paying attention. When you look for what’s right, you’ll start to see confirmation that you’re exactly where you need to be. We a...

In this episode, we open up a real discussion about the effects of social media on our lives. An audience member asks how to handle the challenges that come up with social media — especially the comparison, negativity, and self-doubt that can creep in. We all know the benefits: instant connection, powerful networking, sharing your message quickly, and staying informed. But there’s another side, pa...

In this episode, we answer your questions — starting with how this collaboration even began. What started as a simple challenge to write a book turned into accountability, healing, and eventually this show. Sometimes one small nudge can change everything. We also dive into something deeply relatable: Are you actually happy… or just chasing a feeling you think you should have? In a world of instant...

In this powerful 2017 interview, Dr. Jim and Jodie sit down with internationally renowned human behavior specialist and author Dr. John Demartini . Founder of the Demartini Institute and creator of The Demartini Method®, Dr. Demartini has spent over 44 years researching human development. He’s authored 40 books in 29 languages and travels the world nearly year-round teaching leadership, values, we...

In this follow-up segment of our 2017 interview, we go deeper with Dr. John Demartini — and one moment really stood out. When we told him his impact was a “gift,” he stopped us. “It’s not a gift. It’s work.” That truth hit hard. So often we see someone’s success and only focus on the end result. We don’t see the decades of research, refinement, discipline, and daily commitment behind it. Dr. Demar...

In this segment of our 2017 interview, Dr. Jim and Jodie continue the conversation with internationally renowned human behavior specialist Dr. John Demartini , focusing on one of his core teachings: your values shape your results. Why do so many people set goals — to lose weight, build wealth, grow a business — only to lose momentum weeks later? Dr. Demartini explains that if something isn’t align...

In this segment, we sit down with Dr. Miguel Ruiz’s son (and you can feel the depth right away) as he shares what it was like growing up inside The Four Agreements lineage — not as a “perfect spiritual upbringing,” but as a real-life evolution of a family, a tradition, and a human journey. He talks about watching his father move through different stages — from medical doctor and surgeon to fully c...

In this part of the interview, the conversation gets really real — not just about “success,” but about what actually matters when the cameras are off. He shares that his main job isn’t touring or writing books … it’s being a father (and a husband, as a true tag team with his wife). And honestly? That grounding changes the whole way you hear everything else he says. We talk about what it’s like bui...

Some days what’s right is big. Some days it’s sunlight. Today I’m talking about the little things — fresh air in the Chicagoland area, stepping outside and breathing it in, even great eyelashes that make you feel ready to take on the day. When we start intentionally looking for what’s right in our lives, something shifts. What we focus on expands. The more you look for what’s right, the more you f...

Today what’s right in my life is this — I don’t have to do everything alone. When my shoulder and neck were hurting and the headaches kicked in, I reached out to a friend who could help. And that’s what’s right. Community. Tribe. People who show up when you need them. Sometimes what’s right isn’t that everything is perfect — it’s that support exists. It’s remembering we don’t have to carry it all...

You know that feeling when you wake up and there’s already a message waiting for you? Just a simple “thinking of you.” And suddenly, you’re smiling before your feet even hit the floor. Today, that’s what’s right with life — those small moments of connection that remind us we’re not alone. It made me think about how often someone crosses our mind during the day… and we don’t act on it. We think abo...

Today what’s right with life is something simple: being brave enough to ask. We got new neighbors with big dogs, and instead of just assuming it wouldn’t work for mine, I walked over and introduced myself. Before I could even finish my sentence, they said, “Do you want us to bring our dogs in?” Just like that — kindness. Openness. A new relationship. We could have spent months avoiding each other...

Today what’s right with life is this — collective energy. I jumped online for a quick meditation and found myself in a live with 100,000 people meditating at the same time. And you might think that sounds crazy… but the energy? The love? It was beautiful. We weren’t even on for ten minutes, and my whole soul felt different. Sometimes what’s right with life is simply being open enough to jump in. T...

Today what’s right with life is books. I’ve loved them since I was little — always carrying one with me. Now it’s books, journals, audiobooks… I never travel without something that feeds my mind. Because here’s the truth — knowledge is the one thing no one can ever take from you. Every page you read, every lesson you absorb, you become a little bit better than you were yesterday. So what are you f...

Today what’s right with life is love. And sometimes… it doesn’t come from the person we thought it would. But it shows up anyway. It shows up in a puppy greeting you at the door. In a friend checking in. In someone being unexpectedly kind. In a memory that makes you smile. If we stop focusing on where love isn’t , we start seeing where it already is. Love is everywhere — we just have to look for i...

Today what’s right with life is inspiration. Think about it — who has lifted you when you were down? Who saw something in you before you saw it in yourself? And now flip it. Who are you inspiring? Inspiration is a pitching and catching game. We receive it… and we pass it on. Someone believed in you. Someone shifted your perspective. Someone reminded you of your light. Now it’s your turn. So today...

Today what’s right with life is gratitude. When you choose to live from gratitude — really look for what’s right — everything shifts. For me? It’s simple things. Snuggles. With my puppies. With my man. With the kids. I just love to snuggle — and I’m genuinely grateful for that. Gratitude doesn’t have to be big or dramatic. It can be warm. Ordinary. Everyday. The more you focus on what you’re grate...

In today’s episode, I guide you through a grounding, full-body meditation focused on release and self-compassion. Together, we let go of shame, resentment, and the “would’ve, could’ve, should’ve” stories that weigh us down. Moving through the body from crown to root, you’re invited to soften, open your heart, and stand in your truth. At the center of this practice is one powerful question: What wo...

In this episode, I’m reminding you of something simple but powerful — believe in yourself. Believe you’re worth the time. Worth the investment. Worth the risk. Worth the try. Wherever you land right now? It’s not random. It’s either a lesson, a redirection, or an opportunity. But you don’t get to find out unless you move. People will project. They’ll doubt. They’ll deflect. That has nothing to do...
