In this episode, I want to talk about love — not just romantic love, but the everyday love we forget to honor.

Who is the first person you call when something amazing happens? Reach out and tell them. Thank them for being safe enough for you to share your joy with. Don’t just assume they know.

We talk about loving your body — stretch marks, road maps, all of it. Loving your health where it is. Loving your growth. Loving even the challenges, because they shaped you. Forgiveness is the key that unlocks everything.

I also challenge you to practice receiving love. We’re so good at giving. But can you let someone help you? Support you? Love on you?

Here’s your homework:
Write down 50 things you’re grateful for. Not 10. Not the easy ones. Dig deep. And when you’re done… add 50 more.

Because when you lead with love — in your words, your tone, your actions — the ripple effect lasts longer than you’ll ever know.

Just love. And let yourself receive it back.

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 guided meditation, I’m asking you to do one powerful thing — give yourself permission.

Permission to be here.
Permission to breathe.
Permission to be happy.

Permission to let go of shame, guilt, fear, and resentment.

So often we put ourselves on the back burner. We tell ourselves we’ll rest later. We’ll take care of ourselves after everyone else is taken care of. But here’s the truth — you need you.

When you start choosing yourself — guilt-free — everything shifts. Your energy changes. Your patience changes. Your relationships change. You teach the world how to treat you by how you treat yourself.

This meditation is about forgiving the past, releasing what no longer serves you, and stepping fully into your life. It’s about taking time — even if it’s five minutes behind a closed bathroom door — to reconnect with your mind, body, and spirit.

When you fill yourself up first, the ripple effect touches everyone around you.

So breathe.
Let go.
Choose you.

I love you and I appreciate you.

In this episode, I want to remind you of something really important — you do not have to know the final destination to say yes to the first step.

So many people think programs like yoga teacher training are only for teachers. They’re not. They’re for growth. They’re for peeling back layers. They’re for discovering parts of yourself you didn’t even know were there.

I had no idea when I started teaching one simple yoga class where it would lead. One opportunity opened another door… which opened another… and suddenly I was collaborating on stages and in rooms I never imagined. Not because I had it all figured out — but because I kept saying yes.

This episode is your reminder: take a chance on you.

You don’t need the whole plan. You just need the courage to take the next step.

And if something has been stirring inside of you — this might be your sign to stop ignoring it.

I love you. I appreciate you. And I believe in you.

In this episode, I’m asking you something simple — what do you need help with?

I was having a conversation with a friend who told me that watching my journey helped her believe she could start her own business — as a woman and as a minority. And I honestly didn’t even realize I had that kind of impact. I was just being her friend. Just sharing what I’ve learned — the wins and the mistakes.

So now I’m asking you.

Where are you stuck?
Is it mindset?
Money?
Structure?
Confidence?
Support?
Or is there just something stirring inside you and you can’t even name it yet?

I’ve been through a lot. If it could go wrong, it probably did at some point. And if I can help you skip a few potholes on your road, I want to.

Email me. Message me. Comment. Reach out.

Let’s talk about it.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.

I love you and I appreciate you.

In this episode, we talk about something I care deeply about — women supporting women.

Michelle and I share what it really looks like to build a circle that celebrates your wins instead of competing with you. Jealousy is real. Comparison is real. Social media makes it louder. But you get to choose who you surround yourself with.

We talk about tightening your circle. Letting go of friendships that feel toxic or competitive. Teaching our daughters to be the bigger person. Creating safe spaces — in our homes and in our friendships — where women feel supported, not judged.

And here’s the truth: this applies to grown women just as much as teenage girls.

Life is too short to be in competition with your friends. Find your tribe. Dance in the car with them. Celebrate promotions. Have the hard conversations. Protect each other.

Your homework?
Tag someone who is part of your tribe and tell them you love them.
And if someone in your circle doesn’t celebrate your light… it may be time to adjust your circle.

In this episode, we talk about something that affects all of us — building wealth and changing the conversation around money.

Women are having it. Men are having it. How do we build wealth? And it starts simple: basic understanding and basic saving. But there’s also a psychological piece. It’s okay to make more money than your parents did. They would be proud of you. Growth is the goal.

Shuntella shares how growing up in Englewood shaped her drive, and why education — formal or informal — matters. We talk about teaching kids early: open the bank account, let them make deposits, let them understand money so it doesn’t feel intimidating later.

We also dive into being financially aware in marriage. Not from fear — from preparation. Know your accounts. Know your options. You can’t make sound decisions without sound information.

This episode is about integrity, awareness, and building something stronger than where you started.

Your takeaway?
Learn it. Teach it. And don’t be afraid to grow.

I’m so excited for you to meet my sweet friend, Michelle Evans. Our friendship is built on lifting each other up and celebrating wins — and this season of her life is a big one.

Michelle spent twenty years taking care of her family. After her divorce, she realized it was time to take care of herself. She went back to school, worked full-time, raised her girls, barely slept — and graduated with honors. One of her proudest moments was letting her daughters watch her walk across that stage.

Soon after, an investor found her on LinkedIn. It was scary. It was a risk. She said yes anyway. Today she’s a Managing Partner of a successful recruiting division, growing, learning, and making more than she ever has.

Her advice? Get yourself out there. Go to the dinner. Meet the people. Have the conversation. You don’t have to be perfect — just show up.

Your homework: say yes to something that scares you a little. Because if you keep saying no… eventually they stop asking.

In this empowerment talk episode, I sit down with my soul sister, Shuntella Richardson — international speaker, author, and CEO of Results to Success.

What I love most about Chantel is her authenticity. She doesn’t just inspire — she simplifies. She takes big ideas and breaks them down so you can actually move.

We talk about the difference between being busy and being productive. About how so many of us are buried in information — books, seminars, podcasts, courses — but we’re not taking action. And action is what creates results.

Chantel shares her journey growing up in Chicago’s inner city and how reading books like Think and Grow Rich shaped her mindset around wealth and possibility. From saving small percentages of her income to building successful businesses, she proves that success isn’t magic — it’s movement.

This conversation is about:

• Stop waiting for permission
• Turning knowledge into action
• Understanding money instead of fearing it
• Creating real results from the dreams you already have

You don’t need more information.
You need to move.

In this episode, I’m back with Kris for a conversation about following your path — even when it changes.

She shares her journey from wanting to become a chiropractor, to corporate life, to realizing it wasn’t aligned, and finding her way back to holistic healing through chiropractic, acupuncture, yoga, and integrative care. The through-line? She didn’t quit when it got hard. She kept following what felt true.

We talk about trusting the pull in your soul, building a “toolbelt” of skills, and not letting someone else’s opinion define your direction.

Your path might not be linear.
It might take years.
It might evolve.

But if something keeps calling you, don’t ignore it.

Sometimes what’s right with life is simply this:
You kept going.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my soul-sister and holistic healer, Kris, for a real conversation about healing — physically and emotionally.

We talk about how symptoms aren’t just physical. How shame, guilt, and unprocessed emotion live in the body. And how true healing requires feeling safe enough to let things come up.

You can’t outrun what your body is trying to tell you.

We also dive into the importance of surrounding yourself with people who hold safe space, who challenge you, and who support your growth — not just your comfort.

And we leave you with simple homework:
Start your mornings with gratitude before you reach for the world. Notice what shifts when you focus on what’s right instead of what’s wrong.

Healing isn’t always comfortable.
But it is freeing.
