Episode 1: The Jodi Watkins Show – Introducing Brenda Warren, The Soulutionist

Welcome to the first episode of the new and improved Jodi Watkins Show! I'm thrilled to introduce my long-time trusted friend and strategic business partner, Brenda Warren. Brenda, known as The Soulutionist, is here to share her transformative journey to inspire and empower us all to TAPIN and live our best lives NOW!

In 2011, while working as an Environmental Services Director at a hospital in North Carolina, Brenda was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Military Sexual Trauma (MST). As a retired United States Marine with 20 years of active service, the shame and guilt were overwhelming. She lived in denial for three years before her world fell apart, leaving her unable to function due to depression and anxiety for eight years.

But then something unique happened. Brenda exited the sofa and started walking in her driveway, making social media posts. This marked the beginning of her advocacy for mental health and her journey to TAPIN to what made her happy.

Now, men and women worldwide are using the TAPIN Method™ she created to live their best lives NOW! NOW stands for No Opportunity Wasted! As a Business/Pattern for Living Coach, Brenda helps entrepreneurs close the gaps between their desires and reality. Through self-publishing, she helps people turn their mess into a message for the masses.

Join us as Brenda shares her powerful story and introduces the TAPIN Method™ that is transforming lives. Don't miss out on this incredible journey of resilience and empowerment!

Today, my guest is someone I met through supporting bodybuilding shows. I had a client competing at the Showtime Classic in Ponte Vedra, Florida, where I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Jacob Pomroy. 

As he shared some of his stories with me, I knew I wanted to get him on the show to share with others. 

Jacob is a Full Time Online Coach who champions Grand Mal Seizures, now known as Tonic-Clonic Seizures. According to https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/epilepsy/tonic-clonic-grand-mal-seizures, here are some things to know about these types of seizures: they involve a tonic (stiffening) phase and a clonic (twitching or jerking) phase. Jacob points out that if you are with someone with one of these types of seizures, you do NOT want to place anything in their mouth. You want to turn them to the side, clear space, and time the seizure. You must let it play out. 

Jacob served in the US Army National Guard as a Mechanized Infantryman from 2014 to 2017, when he was medically discharged. He has competed in bodybuilding since 2016 and recently competed in 2022. he graduated from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls with a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise & Sports Science. He is also certified as an Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).

I want to acknowledge Jacob for his vulnerability and for educating those who don't deal with this type of life. For those who do, I commend you, and I hope Jacob's story inspires you to know you are worthy of all things and unique to those around you.

Busy and productive are two terms often used to describe how someone spends their time or engages in their work. While they may seem similar, there is a significant difference between being busy and productive.

Being busy typically refers to being occupied with various tasks or activities. When someone is busy, they may have a lot on their plate, and their schedule is filled with numerous commitments. However, being busy doesn't necessarily imply that the person is accomplishing meaningful or important work. It can sometimes indicate being overwhelmed, constantly juggling multiple tasks without a clear sense of direction or purpose.

On the other hand, being productive refers to making progress and achieving desired outcomes or goals. Productivity is efficiently using time and resources to generate valuable results. A productive person focuses on tasks that align with their priorities and contribute to their long-term objectives. They prioritize their activities, delegate when necessary, and use tools and strategies to maximize output.

The key distinction between being busy and being productive lies in the outcome. Busy work may involve time and effort, but it may yield little results or move the individual closer to their objectives. In contrast, productive work is purposeful, goal-oriented, and produces meaningful outcomes.

Here are a few characteristics that differentiate busy work from productive work:

1. Prioritization

2. Time management

3. Outcome-oriented

4. Delegation and automation

5. Reflection and improvement

In summary, being busy and productive represent different work and time management approaches. While being busy may give the impression of being productive, it doesn't necessarily lead to meaningful outcomes. Productivity involves intentional focus, effective time management, prioritization, and a clear alignment of actions with goals. Individuals can work smarter and achieve more significant results by emphasizing productivity over busyness.

Today, my guest is someone I had the opportunity to meet at a bodybuilding show in Orlando, Florida. His name is Chris Spruell, and from the first time I met him, I knew there was something special about him. 

Chris is a 35-year-old servant of God, father, and fitness guru who is also on a mission to share his testimony to help others in their journeys. 

We chatted briefly, but he was competing that day, so we didn't have many conversations at first. However, when he returned, he did it with a prophecy that spoke to me. He didn't know me from Eve, but he said the Holy Spirit placed something on his heart that he needed to share. 

While I can't tell you exactly what he said right now, I can tell you it was RIGHT ON TIME. I needed to hear it. It was encouraging and uplifting. As someone who encourages and uplifts others regularly, I need encouragement, also. I was so grateful for the words that came out of his mouth. We prayed together in the middle of a hallway at a bodybuilding show. That goes to show the Holy Spirit is everywhere. 

Chris shares his story of all the barriers he's had to break to get where he is today. He also shares the event that sent him into the journey he is currently on with the Holy Spirit. 

This man has gone from being the "Golden Child" to being on the streets, to being in prison, to now being someone who gets to help others. 

I want to acknowledge Chris for his vulnerability.
