Today we are talking to Jody—she is a mother of two, a certified life coach, and the author of Mommy Reboot: A Busy Mom’s Guide to Self-Care.

This conversation is raw, emotional, and deeply important. Jody opens up about navigating two heartbreaking experiences: her son’s suicide attempt at 17 and the loss of her father to suicide when she was just 15. Through her story, she shares how those life-altering moments shaped her not only as a mother but also as a human being, a healer, and a guide for others.

We talk about the chaos of crisis—the ambulance rides, the hospital stays, the mental health system—and the gut-wrenching uncertainty of watching your child fight to live. But we also talk about what comes after. Jody walks us through how she leaned on her intuition, embraced radical acceptance, and found peace in the midst of unimaginable pain.

This episode is about survival, yes—but also about transformation. It’s about what it means to truly show up for your child, and for yourself, when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

If you’re a parent, if you’ve faced mental health struggles in your family, or if you’re just searching for light after darkness, this one is for you.
