  • this is how you actually change

    Send me a message!!

    What if you didn’t have to hate yourself into becoming better?

    So many of us think that shaming ourselves, replaying past mistakes, or calling ourselves lazy or a procrastinator will finally motivate us. But it doesn’t. It just keeps us stuck and feeling embarrassed, discouraged.  

    In this episode, we talk about why your past choices don’t define you, why self-criticism doesn’t create growth, and how compassion actually moves you forward. You’ll learn how to stop reliving who you used to be and start asking a more powerful question:


    “What do I want to do today?”


    This episode will help you:


    • Let go of shame around past choices
    • Separate who you are from what you’ve done
    • Stop using self-hate as motivation
    • Choose actions today that future-you will be proud of



    You don’t need to become better by tearing yourself down.

    You become better by choosing again…today.

  • stop telling yourself you are stressed (especially during finals)

    Send me a message!!

    Finals week hits and suddenly your brain is yelling, “I’m stressed, I’m overwhelmed, I have too much to do!”

    And then… you don’t actually do anything.


    In this episode, I break down why telling yourself you’re stressed actually makes finals harder, not easier and what to do instead. You’ll learn how to stop spiraling, calm your nervous system, and still show up and do your best without burning out.


    We’ll talk about:

    •Why “I’m so stressed” keeps you stuck

    •How to separate who you are from your grades

    •Why calm students still do well (and how to become one)

    •How to make a simple plan instead of overthinking everything


    Finals don’t define you but you can still care and try.

    This episode will help you feel calmer, clearer, and more confident going into exams.

  • when your coach doesn’t give you compliments

    Send me a message!!

    In this episode of Be Real with JoDee, we talk about what to do when you’re not getting the validation you want from your coach, your teammates, or anyone else.


    If you’ve ever walked off the field wishing someone would say “good job” — and instead heard only what you did wrong — this episode is for you. JoDee shares a story from a recent coaching session with a teen athlete who was tired of feeling disappointed after every game, and how learning to “let the coach off the hook” changed everything.


    You’ll learn how to stop giving other people power over how you feel, how to create confidence from your own thoughts, and how to find the fun again — no matter what feedback you get.


    Because you don’t play for praise — you play for joy.
