  • 81: Family Dynamics–Rules & Roles
    Jodi explains how the dynamics of our childhood family relationships create our understanding of our rules and roles throughout our lives. By being aware of the rules and roles you were taught in childhood, you can be honest and Truthful—by recognizing what rules and roles are in Truth and which are in distortion. Then, you have the power to consciously choose which roles and rules you will keep and which you will change. This awareness and conscious choice is the precursor to deep connection with yourself and others.

  • 80: Parenting–Control & Co-Dependency

    In this episode, Jodi explains where co-dependency & control come from and how they can affect (and "infect") our children, as well as what to do to inoculate our children against these emotional maladies.


    Co-dependency is an irresponsible attachment to people and/or things; I want that person or thing to “take care” of me, be responsible for me, “make me feel better,” or “rescue me” (control me). Co-dependency is addiction; I attach to other people—or things, or emotions, or food, or money—to “extract” value and worth from them, so I can feel/be “enough,” “whole,” “wanted,” “valued,” and “needed.”


    Care-taking is a dishonest and manipulative attempt to “make” you or someone else meet my needs. Care-taking looks like I am giving to an­other person, yet it is not a gift and it is not free. I am “giving” with an agenda and expectation that I will receive something in return.

  • 75: Parenting–Emotional Development in Children
    Jodi explains the physical, emotional and spiritual needs children have. As those needs are met and they are taught to progressively meet their needs for themselves, they will very naturally develop into emotionally connected, responsible adults. If, on the other hand, those needs are not met and/or they are not taught to meet their own needs as they grow up, they will have a high propensity to gradually disconnect and develop addictive and destructive thought and behavioral patterns.

  • 73: Selfishness

    What is selfishness? What causes it? Why do so many of us struggle to let go of our self-focused attitudes and habits? And why is selfishness on the rise in the 21st century? In this two-episode series, Jodi breaks down the topic of selfishness: what it is, where it comes from, and how to shift out of it. 


    Selfishness is NOT an intentional attitude for us as humans. When we behave selfishly, it's not that we are bad people, or that we are trying to be rude, unfriendly, or mean. It's not that we want to destroy or end relationships. Selfishness is not an attitude we want or are even aware of in ourselves. We engage in selfishness when we are afraid that we are out of control! Selfishness is a desperate attempt to control! We fear vulnerability and our inability to control our vulnerability. From that place of fear, we believe distortions and become self-focused (selfish).                   


    In the 21st century, many of the younger generation are being enabled to engage in incredible selfishness. As parents, mentors, teachers, leaders and friends, we have the charge to understand selfishness and invite our loved ones out of it—and into the Truth.
