More Jody Podcast

Do you have the same problems that you had last year or have you leveled up? Are you constantly complaining because your WILL to do something doesn't match your WHY? Today I'm breaking it all down and being honest about how the slogan "You were made to do hard things" is not enough to push you through.

Katherine Ladshaw left the fashion industry in 2020 and started over in all areas of her life. She has become a therapist to help women and couples find the words they need to express themselves and find healing and joy. This episode will remind you that you are stronger than you think and braver than you feel. 

When I picked CONSISTENCY as my word for 2023 I didn't imagine I would be so bored of it so fast. What I am coming to see is that doing small but mighty things, consistently is a powerful way to minimize stress while making great strides. It doesn't get me excited but I think learning to push through and do the normal work that doesn't excite us is a very important skill. 

January is hard. Life is hard. Change is constant. How do you maintain your peace? How do you cultivate peace in your home? How do you practice peace? Tune in today!

We are no longer dealing with chemicals, additives, dyes in trace amounts. Our food, makeup, hair supplies, cleaning products are full of chemicals and the job is ours to decide what we let in.

In what areas of your life do you want to expand in 2023? Where do you want to contract? Today Lindsy and I talk about what we want to focus on in 2023 and how we tangibly break it down and plan to get there. Looking to the future should fill you with hope and possibility -- you are better and stronger every year. 

The quote for this episode is from Jason Fried said "you are better with a kick assed half than a half assed whole" -- set measurable and realistic ways you want to grow this year and then go after it. 

Today Lindsy and I discuss the courage it takes to make big moves and the ups and downs that go with acts of courage. This is a great episode on how to make friends as an adult as well because apparently this is hard for all of us.

I'm coming in hot today with this topic. We have become a society of people who can't handle hard, challenging, "risky" or even growth conversations and it shows. It is so sad when we lose ourselves and become so diluted. We lose. Everyone in relationship with us loses but mostly our kids lose. People are continually looking to us for courage, strength, integrity and some sort of back bone and many are met with passivity. It's time to stand up and step into deeper, more challenging relationships and conversations. 

Negative or Positive, Perfect or Imperfect (Just kidding perfect doesn't exist), Hopeful or Despairing.... what you focus on expands. Don't sit and complain about it; make change, take action, always be curious!!

When Christine was 15 years old, she was raped at summer camp.  The rape was the catalyst for years of living with shame. Shame silenced her inner voice, impeded her ability to connect on a deeper level with her friends and family, eroded her self-worth, and held her back from truly living an authentic life. Rather than process the trauma, she tried in vain to numb it with food; which equated to a 100 pound weight gain. Like so many women who live with buried stories; their stories will present themselves in a powerful way...within their health, actions and reactions, marriage, parenting, and friendships. Shame thrives and grows in darkness and silence. When we give it light within authentic empathetic sharing, shame will wither and die. Christine's story is one of reclaiming her life, of shedding the shame, and learning to love herself and others whole-heartedly.
