Jodie Baudek Podcast

In this episode, I’m reminding you of something we all forget sometimes — you are not your past. You are not yesterday. You are not your relatives. You are not the mistakes, the “no’s,” or the detours. Every experience you’ve had is preparation. If you had to go through 40 no’s to get to one yes, those no’s weren’t punishments — they were training. They gave you clarity. Strength. Creativity. Boun...

In this episode, we’re focusing on forgiveness. I want you to picture someone you’re upset with. Maybe it’s someone from your past. Maybe it’s something that happened yesterday. Maybe… it’s yourself. And I guide you through a simple but powerful practice: I love you. I’m sorry. I forgive you. Thank you. I love you. You don’t have to say it to them. They don’t even have to know. This is for you. Fo...

In this episode, I’m giving you one simple challenge — take 20 minutes. When you get off work, before you walk through that door, give yourself 20 minutes to decompress. Walk the dog. Drive around the block. Sit in silence. Breathe. Let the day go. I don’t care how much you love your job — you still need separation. You still need personal time. Because when you rush straight into dinner, chores,...

In this episode, we’re focusing on three simple words — believe, dream, achieve. Yes, it sounds cliché. And yes… it works. You were meant to be happy. You were meant to dream big. You were meant to achieve incredible things. Don’t let someone else’s doubt become your ceiling. Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’re questioning if it’s worth it. Maybe you’re planting seeds and seeing nothing yet. But that...

In this episode, we’re focusing on something most of us avoid — uncomfortable conversations. Maybe there’s tension with someone in your life. Maybe something is bothering you. Or maybe… you need to sit down and have an honest conversation with yourself. What are you avoiding? What are you afraid of? What change are you resisting? Growth requires courage. Sometimes having the conversation means bei...

In this episode, I guide you through a powerful meditation to help you get out of your own way and start manifesting the life you truly desire. We breathe. We connect mind, body, and spirit. We move awareness from your third eye down through your heart, your solar plexus, all the way to your roots — releasing fear, releasing doubt, releasing old defense mechanisms that have been protecting you but...

In this episode, we’re talking about something subtle but powerful — the mixed messages we send. We say we want something. We dream about it. We pray for it. But then our actions are rooted in doubt. In fear. In playing small. That’s a different message. You have the power to create your life. The power to choose who you surround yourself with. The power to step outside your comfort zone and test...

In this episode, I’m introducing you to Marie from Best Face Forward — and trust me, you’re going to love her. We talk about how feeling stylish and organized isn’t shallow… it’s strategic. When you feel put together, you show up differently. From travel essentials that work overtime (hello leggings and the perfect carry-on) to machine-washable wardrobe staples that save time and money, Marie shar...

In this episode, I’m introducing you to my friend Olivia Hsu Friedman, founder of Amethyst Holistic Skin Solutions on Michigan Avenue — and this conversation is so much deeper than skincare. We talk about facial acupuncture as a natural alternative to Botox — not from judgment, but from empowerment. If you want to stimulate your own body to heal, build collagen, balance muscles, and glow from the...

In this empowerment talk episode, I sit down with my soul sister, Shuntella Richardson — international speaker, author, and CEO of Results to Success . What I love most about Chantel is her authenticity. She doesn’t just inspire — she simplifies. She takes big ideas and breaks them down so you can actually move. We talk about the difference between being busy and being productive. About how so man...

I’m so excited for you to meet my sweet friend, Michelle Evans. Our friendship is built on lifting each other up and celebrating wins — and this season of her life is a big one. Michelle spent twenty years taking care of her family. After her divorce, she realized it was time to take care of herself. She went back to school, worked full-time, raised her girls, barely slept — and graduated with hon...

In this episode, we talk about something that affects all of us — building wealth and changing the conversation around money. Women are having it. Men are having it. How do we build wealth? And it starts simple: basic understanding and basic saving. But there’s also a psychological piece. It’s okay to make more money than your parents did. They would be proud of you. Growth is the goal. Shuntella...

In this episode, we talk about something I care deeply about — women supporting women. Michelle and I share what it really looks like to build a circle that celebrates your wins instead of competing with you. Jealousy is real. Comparison is real. Social media makes it louder. But you get to choose who you surround yourself with. We talk about tightening your circle. Letting go of friendships that...

In this episode, I’m asking you something simple — what do you need help with? I was having a conversation with a friend who told me that watching my journey helped her believe she could start her own business — as a woman and as a minority. And I honestly didn’t even realize I had that kind of impact. I was just being her friend. Just sharing what I’ve learned — the wins and the mistakes. So now...

In this episode, I want to remind you of something really important — you do not have to know the final destination to say yes to the first step. So many people think programs like yoga teacher training are only for teachers. They’re not. They’re for growth. They’re for peeling back layers. They’re for discovering parts of yourself you didn’t even know were there. I had no idea when I started teac...

In this guided meditation, I’m asking you to do one powerful thing — give yourself permission. Permission to be here. Permission to breathe. Permission to be happy. Permission to let go of shame, guilt, fear, and resentment. So often we put ourselves on the back burner. We tell ourselves we’ll rest later. We’ll take care of ourselves after everyone else is taken care of. But here’s the truth — you...

In this episode, I want to talk about love — not just romantic love, but the everyday love we forget to honor. Who is the first person you call when something amazing happens? Reach out and tell them. Thank them for being safe enough for you to share your joy with. Don’t just assume they know. We talk about loving your body — stretch marks, road maps, all of it. Loving your health where it is. Lov...

This is an older episode I recorded years ago — and as I listened back to it, I realized the message is still just as powerful today. In this conversation, I talk about your relationship with yourself first and foremost. Because if that relationship isn’t strong, nothing else will feel steady — not love, not money, not success. We dive into changing your mindset around money and understanding that...

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my soul-sister and holistic healer, Kris, for a real conversation about healing — physically and emotionally. We talk about how symptoms aren’t just physical. How shame, guilt, and unprocessed emotion live in the body. And how true healing requires feeling safe enough to let things come up. You can’t outrun what your body is trying to tell you. We also dive i...

In this episode, I’m back with Kris for a conversation about following your path — even when it changes. She shares her journey from wanting to become a chiropractor, to corporate life, to realizing it wasn’t aligned, and finding her way back to holistic healing through chiropractic, acupuncture, yoga, and integrative care. The through-line? She didn’t quit when it got hard. She kept following wha...

In this episode, I’m talking about something we don’t focus on enough: What’s right with life. It’s easy to get pulled into what’s wrong, what’s missing, what isn’t happening fast enough. But empowerment starts with perspective. You woke up today. You’re breathing. You have access to opportunity, connection, growth. That matters. I share a story about serving with an organization bringing solar li...

In this episode, I’m recording in the middle of noise, chaos, and distractions — and it becomes the perfect reminder: you’re still in control. No matter what’s happening around you, you get to choose your perspective. You get to choose your energy. You get to choose what you focus on. I talk about shifting from “I have to” to “I get to,” surrounding yourself with people who help you grow, and inte...

In this episode, I’m talking about the stories we tell ourselves — and how they quietly shape our entire lives. What belief have you been carrying for years? That you’re not smart enough? Not attractive enough? From the wrong side of town? Too late? Too behind? At some point, a thought became a story. And that story became your truth. But what if you changed it? I share how a simple shift in persp...

In this episode, I share a simple but powerful story about grace. A small interaction with a homeless man turned into something much bigger — a reminder that kindness, dignity, and prayer can create ripple effects we never expect. What started as a one-dollar exchange became a moment of connection, generosity, and humanity. But the deeper message isn’t just about showing grace to others. It’s abou...

In this episode, I’m asking you one simple question: What’s your gift? What comes so naturally to you that you could do it in your sleep? And why aren’t you sharing more of it? We all have strengths — and we all have things we’re not great at. Instead of doing everything yourself, what if you leaned into what you’re good at and let someone else shine in their zone of genius? When you share your gi...
