Loving Me, Myself & Life

So last time I talked about "doing the unthinkable" but I didn't just wake up one morning and decide to do that - I had to change my thoughts and my inner dialogue first. That helped to change my life so that I could "do the unthinkable" - because it wasn't "unthinkable" anymore! Join me today as I share how changing your thoughts can change your life - and...

Hello dear listeners! Jody here and I apologize for missing last week and for the lateness of this week's podcast. Making one of the biggest life-changing decisions of our lives has taken more of our time and resources than we thought it would... Join me today as I share my thoughts on "doing the unthinkable" - or what may seem to others (and even yourself!) as such at the time. Doi...

Today I open up about how sometimes I forget to listen to my own advice - the tidbits and advice I love to share with all of you... In times like this, I have to remind myself to focus on love, because where there is love fear cannot exist. The path through life is not a straight line, so when you run across obstacles and challenges, remember to love your way through life! Support the show

Have you even felt like aren't enough? That who you are and what you are isn't measuring up to your "ideal" version of you? I have. Join me today as I talk about the whats, whys, and hows of my feelings of inadequacy, as well as some things you can do to move through these same feelings yourself. You have everything you need within you right now! You ARE enough! Support the sho...

Last episode I talked about being comfortably uncomfortable and now I want to share about how we are moving through all the new uncomfortable bits that have come with the life changes that we've decided to make. There's no escaping it. Change is uncomfortable...but it's in how we respond to those challenges and struggles that define who we really are... So how do you stay focused on...

Today I talk about how I've been "comfortably uncomfortable" for a long time, and when I finally realized that I didn't have to live like that. It's so easy to remain stuck in this state of comfortably uncomfortable - you know something needs to change, but you also know that change will be uncomfortable. So you convince yourself that you're not that uncomfortable and...

That's right. I admit it. I've been a people-pleaser for a long, long time and today I share how I started to shift away from that version of me. If you're like me (or how I used to be), then being a people-pleaser means that you are trying to hide who you really are or you don't feel worthy of the things, experiences, and love that YOU deserve. But you do deserve to be happy,...

Today I'll share a few stories where I chose progress over being perfect and how that led to some incredible, amazing things. If you try for perfection or to get it right the first time, you won't move forward - you'll be stuck trying to achieve something that will not serve you. Focus instead on the progress you are making, however small, in whatever you want to do, and you'll...

Today I share about my journey to Western Canada, from the fear-filled moments leading up to my taxi ride to the airport, through to the amazing feelings of freedom, excitement, and empowerment about the whole experience. You can never get away from fear - it's an important feeling that's designed to keep us safe - but what you do with that fear is what matters. Will you let it keep you...

As I share more about my family's collective journey to the West Coast of Canada, I realize that there are lessons here for everyone - whatever their destination... You know that you want to move from "here" to "there" but you don't always know what is going to pop up between those two points. Join me today as I share how roadblocks and detours along our way aren&apos...

Hello everyone! Join me today as I talk about celebrating - not just the big things like birthdays, anniversaries, large professional achievements - but also all the little things that we can sometimes take for granted... When you look at the little things to celebrate, life seems to be more full of beauty and light and wonderment - so don't wait for "big" things to show up when you...

Today I peel back the curtain a bit and talk about how things have been more difficult lately, how I haven't felt connected to myself, and how that created fear within me - after all, my family and I are about to make a very big change in our lives... What I had been so sure of before, I began to doubt. What had been easy, became harder - and that made it harder to work towards those same goa...

Today, on my wedding anniversary I share my thoughts on love and how love isn't just some magical, wonderful feeling - it is that of course - and it's more than that too. And I'm not just talking about relationships with other people - but with yourself too! So please join me as I try to answer my own question: "What Is Love?" Support the show

Hello listeners! Join me today as I reflect on the changes in our world and talk about how I felt both then and now. I'll be the first to admit that I let fear get the best of me for a time - I got caught up in the "how"s and forgot about my "why"s. The world today has really forced me to focus my gaze inwards...it has re-enforced and strengthened my beliefs in what is pos...

Sometimes fear can take over and manifest in our lives in so many different ways - even for me, an Empowerment Coach - fear can and will creep back into my life. Today I share how being mindful and sending myself loving thoughts has helped me through those times of fear. Those times of doubt. And I know I'll fall back down, let fear back in, but love is stronger than fear, and it always helps...

Last time I talked about how I was fighting with myself, and today I talk about how I changed my outlook and my routine to feel better about, well, everything. Join me today as I talk about how seeing and thinking about things differently is allowing me to live differently. I'm not trying to tell you how to live or think - everyone's situation is going to be unique - but if you're f...

Real talk this week. I've been fighting myself or struggling internally since the world went topsy-turvy. I'll explain why in today's podcast, but I want you to know that whatever you are going through right now, it's ok to feel the way you are feeling. You are not alone, so please join me as I share some of my recent struggles and some of the things I am working on to find the...

Previously I talked about how the "Why" of something is more important than the "How"s of accomplishing that thing...and today I talk about how those "How"s piled up in our own lives and we're blocking our way forward. So what did we do to keep moving? We focused on the next right step. Sounds easy, but it was challenging for me. I'll share some of the times...

Often when we set goals for ourselves or figure out what we really want, the next step most of us take is asking "How?" - like "how do I get there from here?" or "how do I start?" Today I'm going to share with you that the "How" isn't as important as the "Why" - we can get lost in all the "How"s of reaching our goals and we forg...

Hello again! Are you letting the expectations and thoughts of others guide your decisions? I get it. You want to make others happy, or you want them to be proud or you, or worse - you're sacred what they'll think of you. I've been there. So I'm here to tell you that  your happiness matters . Listen in as I share about my own experiences as a people-pleaser and how I learned to...

This episode I share some stories about becoming a mom, changing priorities, shifting environments and more that complicated not just my life, but the lives of my husband and two children. Through it all, we had to adopt the practice of "keeping it simple" - and that means more than just skipping the dishes one day as you'll soon hear... Support the show

Are you an introvert or an extravert? Well, listen in as I share how I discovered that I'm both - and maybe if you think about it, so are you. Whatever you may be, if you label it or not, if you stay true to yourself you'll keep your cup full and be able to keep being uniquely you. Support the show

Today I talk about saying "Yes" to the things that light you up and saying "No" to the things that don't. Sounds easy right? Well, it wasn't for me - not at first - so be gentle with yourself too! Support the show
