Jodie Baudek Podcast

Justin Reynolds: Beyond the Soccer Field | Faith, Family & God’s Timing

His very first podcast and you would never know it! Justin told me he was nervous, but I think he’s already a pro.

I’m so honored to have this young man in my life. He often tells me I’ve made an impact on him, but truth be told, he has made a huge impact on mine. I treasure our friendship and the way he brings his family and friends over so we can all connect. It’s a very special relationship.

You may know Justin through his professional soccer career with Chicago Fire, his move to Kansas City, or his experience playing internationally. In this conversation, you’ll get to know the person I’m so proud to call my friend.

We talk about faith, family, God’s timing, and the matching tattoos he, his mom, and his brother got before he left for his new team. We also explore his goals beyond soccer including writing a Japanese comic book and making more room for yoga, Pilates, meditation, and mindset. We were even heading into breathwork after recording!

And of course, there’s plenty of laughter. A huge shout-out to our friend Kellyn Acosta for introducing Justin to the world of cologne!

We also have a little fun putting our dream sponsor list out into the universe: Skittles :) Justin’s favorite—Oura Ring, Adidas, Nike, Pop Secret, PacSun, Uber Eats, Whole Foods, and Mariano’s. Just manifesting over here!

You’ll hear me say “I’m so proud of you” more than once. Seeing a young person so grounded in faith, family, and the value of mentorship gives me so much hope. Justin, I can’t wait to see what the future brings you.

No special lighting or microphones for this one—just two friends having a conversation from the heart.

May you leave here with laughter in your heart and peace in your soul.

About Jodie

Jodie Baudek is a motivational speaker, best-selling author, and mindset coach who helps people reconnect with purpose, self-trust, and balance through personal growth, reflection, and intentional living.

In this episode, I share a little life update and a big thank you. Lately my schedule has been full of travel, speaking events, filming, and connecting with incredible people — and so much of it is happening because of the support from all of you.

What I’m finding most fascinating through all of this isn’t just the opportunities, but the relationships that come from it. When you surround yourself with people who inspire you, support you, and hold you accountable, it pushes you to keep growing and stepping into more of what you’re meant to do.

I’m so grateful for this community and the journey we’re on together. Your encouragement keeps me moving forward, and I can’t wait to continue sharing the experiences, the people, and the lessons along the way.

About Jodie

Jodie Baudek is a motivational speaker, best-selling author, and mindset coach who helps people reconnect with purpose, self-trust, and balance through personal growth, reflection, and intentional living.

In this episode, I invite you to get honest with yourself. When was the last time you truly felt amazing about your life? When was the last time you stopped worrying about what others thought and simply allowed yourself to be who you are?

So many of us let fear, doubt, and other people’s opinions hold us back from the life we really want. But when you decide you’re ready for something different, everything can begin to shift.

I also share more about my six-week Change Your Life program, where we dive deeper into the work of recognizing what’s holding you back and creating real transformation. Through reflection, journaling, and intentional action, the goal is to help you clear the roadblocks that keep you stuck and step into the life you know is possible for you.

Sometimes the biggest question isn’t what do you have to gain — it’s realizing how much you have to lose by staying the same.

If you’re here listening, part of you is probably curious. Maybe you feel that little pull that says you want something more, but you’re still unsure about taking the step. In this episode, I talk about why investing in yourself is one of the most powerful decisions you can make.

I share how this program was created and how even I go back to it at different times in my life and hear something new depending on where I am in my own growth. The truth is, when we stop getting in our own way and start doing the work, real transformation can happen.

I’ve seen people completely shift their lives simply by deciding to invest in themselves and follow through. Sometimes we spend money easily on everyday things without thinking twice, but the investment you make in your own growth can stay with you for the rest of your life.

If you’ve been on the fence, this episode is your reminder that you are worth it — and this could be just the beginning.

In this episode, I talk about something that can change everything in your life — making the decision to invest in yourself. It’s easy to put time, energy, and money into other people or other priorities, but when you truly commit to your own growth, something powerful starts to shift.

I share a story about one of the people close to me who went through my six-week Change of Life program. It wasn’t easy for him at first, and there was definitely some resistance along the way, but when he finished, something had truly been stirred inside of him. Watching that transformation reminded me exactly why I created this program in the first place.

My hope is always to ignite that same spark in others — that moment where you realize you are capable of so much more than you imagined. When you choose to invest in yourself, you’re investing in your greatness and in the incredible life that is waiting for you.

Jodie Baudek is a motivational speaker, best-selling author, and mindset coach who helps people reconnect with purpose, self-trust, and balance through personal growth, reflection, and intentional living.

In this episode, I talk about something that many of us struggle with — allowing ourselves to receive. Sometimes we’re so used to giving, pushing through, or doing everything on our own that we forget how powerful it can be to accept help, support, and opportunities when they come our way.

I share a personal story about receiving my very first Pilates reformer as a gift and how opening myself up to receive that moment set off a chain of events that eventually led to opening my studio. Looking back now, that one moment of being willing to receive played a role in a much bigger journey that has led to writing books, teaching, and connecting with people all over the world.

It’s a reminder that what feels like your weakness might be someone else’s strength. When you allow people to contribute, support you, and be part of your journey, incredible things can unfold that you never could have created alone.

About Jodie

In this episode, I talk about the importance of believing in yourself and making space for the things you feel passionate about. Dreams don’t come to life overnight, but they do grow when you dedicate time and energy to them consistently. Even small steps taken each week can lead you somewhere you never imagined.

I share part of my own journey and how a dream in my heart eventually became a yoga studio, opening doors that took me down a path around the world. None of it would have happened if I hadn’t believed it was possible and taken action along the way.

If there’s something inside of you that keeps calling your name, this is your reminder to listen to it. Your dreams are there for a reason, and you might be surprised where they can lead you.

About Jodie

Jodie Baudek is a motivational speaker, best-selling author, and mindset coach who helps people reconnect with purpose, self-trust, and balance through personal growth, reflection, and intentional living.

In this episode, I share a simple mantra that I come back to whenever I feel fear creeping in or notice myself getting in my own way. Life is always inviting us to step forward, to reach for our goals, and to believe in what’s possible for ourselves. But sometimes the biggest thing holding us back is our own self-doubt.

This conversation is a reminder that you get to choose how you treat yourself and how you show up for your life. You deserve kindness, encouragement, and the courage to move past fear.

The mantra I share in this episode is simple, but powerful:
I love you. I like you. I will treat you the best I can. I am stepping out of my fear.

How often do we let one comment, one moment, or one negative thought stop us from moving forward? In this episode, Jody shares how easy it is to get in our own way without even realizing it. She talks about the power of self-reflection and the importance of slowing down long enough to really look within. Inspired by the journaling work from her book, this conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and start asking yourself the deeper questions that lead to real change. Sometimes the biggest shift begins with simply being honest with yourself.
