In this episode, I’m joined by Dawn Calvinisti from the As Good As It Gets Summit for a conversation about how women can break free from people-pleasing, overwhelm, and the day-to-day grind—and actually start living with more meaning, connection, and fulfillment.

We talk about why we get stuck in negative self-talk, how comparison (especially online) quietly drains your confidence, and why “self-care” isn’t just workouts or bubble baths—it’s also who you surround yourself with, what feeds your soul, and the habits that shape your inner world.

Jody also shares the simple daily framework from her book Essence of Life: ask yourself what you’re grateful for, what goal you have, and what you like about yourself—because that last question is often the hardest, and it’s where real change begins.

We also get into accountability—choosing people who lovingly call you higher—and the perspective shift from “I have to” to “I get to,” especially when life throws curveballs.

Try this after you listen: record a quick video on your phone and say:
“I love you. I like you. I forgive you. I will do the best that I can. Thank you.”

Small action. Big ripple effect.
