JODY addresses rewriting the narrative surrounding disappointment. She also speaks on how we must cultivate the type of community that we needed from our village. We have a responsibility to ourselves and the souls rising up behind us to create a new village. Instead of living in disappointment from our villages, we should instead realign and reshape what the village should look like. We are the new village. 

JODY does a mini social experiment about happiness and her findings assisted her in creating this episode. Grace and Gratitude was created for us to take a moment to reflect. We won't always be in a constant state of bliss but learning how to manage our emotions and how to reconstruct our thoughts may be the thing that saves us in this life. 

JODY discusses welcoming new love and how aligning with core values can be transformational. She also speaks about rewriting her narrative and encourages listeners to lead with their assets and to become more intentional about where and with whom they're placing their energy and efforts. Special shout out to everyone who have been asking about new episodes and to my media production professor, Mr. Mobley - this was an assignment that inspired me to return to the mic. 

Jody speaks about her time away from the mic and becomes transparent about why a mental health break was necessary to get her back on course. She also speaks about choosing to see the opportunity in obstacles and why we should no longer validate our unhappiness. Throughout our healing journey, we won't always feel whole and we have to be okay with that truth. Not all of us will have people in our corner who'll "say it' but when God delivers the truth to you, do not be offended, pay attention. Every aspect of our lives is a teachable moment. And the things we are most triggered by are usually areas we need to confront. 

Jody talks about the wrong idea about leveling up, growth pains and being okay with raising the price. Its time we start entertaining behavior that looks like what we feel we deserve and start denying the behavior that we once accepted. When we do the inner work, everything and everyone won't look and feel the same and we have to trust that what's best for us is on the other side of what we've always allowed. 

On today's episode Jody talks about God moves and being able to be okay with the process. She also shares an intimate story about the time she met "the one". 

On today's episode I share my experiences when it comes to encountering the lack of empathy and the lack of capacity. Sometimes we get so caught up in needing others to show up the way we want them to but are we holding space for recognizing where they truly are on their own journey? Let's discuss.
