My interview with the wonderful Jodie Rogers is below…enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello. My name is Lindsay Recknell and this is the Hope Motivates Action<\/a><\/strong>\npodcast. Super excited to bring you season two \u2013 conversations with inspiring\npeople, reframing the way we’ve traditionally thought about hope and its\nconnection to our lives. In today’s episode, I had the opportunity to meet Jodie\nRogers, a dynamic and hopeful personality from Ontario. Jodie will share with\nus how she used her hope to motivate action after being let go from her\ncorporate jail and used that time as an opportunity to thrive in both her\npersonal and her professional life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re interested in any of the books, resources, and\ntools I mentioned in this episode, all the links you’ll ever need can be found\nin the show notes on your favorite podcast player or head to the blog and pod\npage on my website, Expert in Hope<\/a><\/strong>,\nand you’ll find them all there too. My message and my work is all about using\nthe Science of Hope to motivate action in your life because without action,\nhope is just a wish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Hope Motivates Action<\/a><\/strong>\npodcast. I am Lindsay Recknell. I am so thrilled to introduce you to my guest\ntoday, Jodie Rogers. Welcome Jodie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi. Thanks for having me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, so thrilled to have you here. When we met a few, I\nguess a few weeks ago, I was totally intrigued by your story of how you’ve\ngotten to where you are and the life that you and your family are living, and I\nreally think that people are going to resonate really well with your story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All right, awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I like to introduce our guests to you and what you’re\nall about. Just briefly. So Jodie Rogers is an essential oil educator and\nwellness advocate with doTERRA<\/a>.\nAfter 13 years in sales and marketing, the family breadwinner was downsized out\nof her career. Well, for many, this news would be devastating. Jodie and her\nhusband, Dave, saw this as a sign that their side gig, it should become their\nmain GIG. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jodie loves educating people in the benefits of essential oils and how families can be empowered to live a holistic, healthy lifestyle. Jodie and Dave live in Mississauga, Ontario with their three children. They\u2019ve been blessed to have their dad as a stay at home parent for over 10 years. We have stay at home moms and we have stay at home dads, but we don’t often have stay at home dads. What does that look like for your family? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow. Well yeah, it’s been awesome. Like I think my husband, he’s always been sort of more of a home body. He’s comfortable at home. He used to be a chef, so he was a trained chef. So falling into that role of being responsible for cooking the meals was a really nice fit. But it came about also not in the best way where he’d been working , re-educated and went back to school and was working as a graphic designer. And after about a year and a half, I was just finishing my mat leave with our second child. He was laid off and you know, he’d always kind of wanted to maybe do a bit of entrepreneurship, do a little freelance stuff, but I would never have said, Hey, why don’t you quit your job and try that? And instead he was not given the choice and he was laid off and we said, Hmm, maybe you know, we’ve got two kids now I’m going back to work two kids under the age of you know, school. So daycare and nannies or what have you. It was like, why don’t we just see if we can make this work? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was, well I guess 12 years ago now, maybe 11 years\nago now. And it’s been awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay-at-home Dad wouldn’t even have been as sort of\nsocially acceptable as it is now. You know, good on him for sort of blazing the\ntrail for other dads. I think that’s just awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah. Yeah, it’s been great. It was not always accepted\neven within our own families. Right. Cause that’s not the traditional role of\nthe male. But I myself was a little more of the career driven person in the\nrelationship and I knew that I could achieve what I put my mind to and it, it\njust sort of worked out for us. So it’s been great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sounds like you guys had a real great conversation and\nsort of looked at what worked for your family and he was supportive of you\nachieving your goals and you were supportive of him, you know, and what he\ndesires. And I love that. It seems like a really good partnership that you guys\nhave. I think that’s just great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, you don’t always realize it, right? You never really often look at your own life and think, Oh, isn’t this great or I’m so blessed, but I, I take it for granted. He’s been the stay at home rock, the chauffer, the grocery shopper, the cook, the nurse, the everything. And you know, when I would talk with my coworkers in the corporate world about my husband’s role, they were like, wow, you are so lucky. You know? Obviously financially we weren’t two income family, so we had to live a different lifestyle, but we still have made it work and I don’t think my kids feel different and neither do we. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah. That’s awesome. My husband was a stay at home puppy\nparent for a long time and I really liked that he didn’t have to work outside\nof the home because you know like the exactly the same. I could count on the\nhome being clean and dinner to be prepared. All of those things that you take\nfor granted as you know, two working parents with two working people in the\nhousehold that you have things to do in the evenings. It was so nice to have\nthe ability to have that at home and I think that mindset is really different\nand really important and a cool message for other people to share because you\ntook a bit of a risk and you guys took a risk in that age, that time, but now\nyou can kind of further the conversation and make it feel okay for other people\nto make those choices as well. Especially now that you have made a big career\nswitch. What impact has your recent career or circumstances, has it been\naffected positively or negatively based on your experience from 10 or 12 years\nago? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah. Well, maybe just two things. I just wanted to add\non the whole stay at home Dad trend. I recently met a young working couple with\nschool age children and the wife is a chiropractor, you know, does quite well\nand the husband has a job as well. And she said, you know, that’s his dream to\nbe a stay at home dad but then we look at, well he’s only got, you know, 17\nmore years and he’ll get a full pension. And I’m thinking like in 17 years he\nwon’t need to be a stay at home dad because the kids won’t be at home anymore\nif it’s something you want to do. You just need to be bold and take action. And\nI mean for me it’s easy to say now because I didn’t make the decision to change\nmy career right now. Neither did my husband, but you know, it would’ve been\neasy to just turn around and go back and get another job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so for me, after 13 years in the corporate role and\nthen being escorted out of the building, essentially being downsized,\nrestructured, fired, however you want to look at it, it wasn’t a choice that\nobviously I made at that time, but I was working towards that. And so the\nimpact it’s had on our family is given me the freedom to be at home and to\nreally focus on what it is that I want to create in my business, to be present\nmore in the lives of my children. You know, as I sit back and think about it,\nit fires me up inside and it makes me want to shake people when they share\ntheir dreams and their hopes and to say like, just do it. It’ll work out if\nit’s meant to be. It’ll work out, you know, if you put to your goals into\naction, um, you know, earlier this year we sat in on a series of sermons really\non, you know, what are your gifts, what are your dreams and where are you\nreally meant to be? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your purpose in this life, this precious life that\nyou have to live? And I sat there thinking, if I had heard that message a year\nbefore when I was still trapped in my corporate jail cell, I would have felt\nalmost angry. Right? Like easy for you to say, pastor Richard, that I should\njust quit my job if I’m not happy and go find something that feeds my passion.\nBut fast forward a year when I’m now in something that is feeding my passion to\nthink what a shift in my mindset, what a shift in our family time and sure it’s\nhard work and it’s stressful if you know, we still go through the motions, but\nI think the impact it’s had on me the most is just to say like, it’s possible.\nWhatever you put your mind to, it really is possible and you can just do\nwhatever you need to get to get it done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love so much of what you just said. I want to comment\non the first thing. I truly believe that you are where you’re supposed to be\nuntil you learn the lessons you’re supposed to learn. You know, like say a year\nago, had you heard that same message? It might not have resonated in the same\nway. It might have been a negative message. Instead of motivating you to\ncontinue to do the actions that you’re doing now. And you hear the message when\nyou’re meant to hear it. And I really, I’m probably the least woo woo person\nyou can think of. But you are where you’re supposed to be. And I love that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, I like that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I also love what you said about possibility versus\nimpossibility. I learned this thing that said, the only difference between\nimpossible, impossible is the \u201cI\u2019m\u201d at the front. \u201cI am\u201d at the front. Right.\nAnd that denotes action to me. You know, you can turn the impossible into\npossible if you just do the things, but you need to be in the proper mindset to\nbe there. I really love what you said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So tell me more\u2026you were downsized or whatever language\nyou want to put around that. What did that look and feel like for you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It felt good for a number of reasons. I was feeling kind\nof hopeless in my job. I had these big aspirations and these dreams and they\nweren’t coming through. And so I had discovered, you know, a passion on the\nside and if you can’t work your passion, live it somewhere else in your life. Right?\nLike maybe if I always dreamed about being a ballerina, but hey, I’m a MBA\nworking in a corporate world, I could still see do a ballet class. And so\nthat’s what I was doing and feeling like any aspirations and goals were out of\nreach, they were falling out of reach in my day to day. So I was creating that\nspace to have passions and grow on the side. And so when I was ambushed, I\ncalled it, it feels like an ambush, right? Your boss and HR are all sitting in\na room when you’re thinking you’re walking into like a meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew it was coming right away. It’s obvious. Here’s\nthe, you know, the brown paper envelope. But thankfully for me, yes, I was\nfeeling hopeless. I was miserable at work. I’d been in a new role for six\nmonths. I was feeling overworked and underappreciated and well paid, but\nmiserable. I used the word hate a lot. I banned that word in my home with my\nkids, but I said, but mommy can say it about her job because it’s true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so there I was in the room and I really felt a sense\nof peace. Like, Oh, I think I just got it, my wish come true. You know, like\nhere’s the door, please walk through it. And it gave me that opportunity to\njust, you know, think about what I wanted to do. Now the irony is my dad, who’s\nalways been a workaholic driven, said to me, this is great, you know, take a\nfew weeks, give yourself a month or six weeks and go get a recruiter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I thought, wow, I’ve just been released from jail and\nyou are telling me to go and find a new cell. And you know, when I called my\nhusband and one of my mentors, they were excited for me. They first understood\nI could be in shock and maybe I was feeling, you know, scared, overwhelmed. But\nwhen they said, how are you feeling? And I said, I think I’m okay. They were\nlike jumping up and down on the phone and clapping their hands and saying, Oh\nmy gosh, this is the greatest thing that’s ever happened. You know, it’s so\namazing. So I think my situation might be a little unique in that regard\nbecause I know people, when they’re restructured, it can be devastating, right?\nAnd scary. And it was scary for sure, but it was also really freeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I think like it comes back to mindset again. Like you\ntalk about it, it’s turning it into an opportunity to do something new and\ncool. If that thing is to go and find another opportunity in a corporate\nenvironment, that’s what works for you. Cool. But what worked for you was give\nyou the opportunity to explore this entrepreneurial venture full time. And I\nthink it’s about mindset and I think that’s just awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah. Yeah. Do you think your dad’s response was a\ngenerational response? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, absolutely. I think he was scared. You know, he was\nscared and he doesn’t share my vision maybe for what I can do. He believes in\nme because I said, I feel like you don’t believe in me and what I’m doing. And\nhe said, no, no, no. That’s not it at all. But it is a bit of like a scary\nthing. And ironically he’s been an entrepreneur and he’s an entrepreneur now.\nAnd so yeah, I think it’s generational. And also probably coming from his own\nstory of being underappreciated, he actually quit a job after 27 years. He\nwanted to be let go, but they wouldn’t let him go. So he actually quit a job,\nwent out on his own and sometimes regretted what he gave up in terms of pension\nsecurity and things like that, which it doesn’t hold the same weight for us\ntoday in the corporate world. So yeah, I think it’s a bit of both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As parent, I would imagine that he wants what’s best for\nyou. He wants comfort and security and an easy path and that kind of thing. So\nI imagine it must come from there as well as the lived experience of being an\nentrepreneur and going like, this is the most awesome but also awful job to be\ndoing. And he’s, you know, parents want to put us in a bowl. Right? And you\nwant to protect us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah. It’s nice that he loves you that much. I like that\na lot. Yeah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you and your husband are running this business\ntogether. Tell me, tell me more about the business you’re running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So basically, we empower families, particularly moms\nbecause moms, the gatekeeper of what comes into the home in terms of taking\ncare of the family. We educate people on how to use natural solutions for\nalternatives to health care. So essential oils is the bulk of what we educate\non and how they can use them. Really just to deal with the day to day stuff\nthat families come across like cough and cold and headaches and tummy aches and\nbruises and scrapes and boo-boos and things like that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, very, very cool. I like that. The natural approach.\nIs that, again, back to mindset, is the natural mindset something you have\nalways lived your life by? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, no being a very rational person who kind of,\nyou know, went with the flow. I think I was very much in line with just the\nmodern medicine. You know, the way that our modern medicine industry works. And\nit was about, well probably about six or seven years ago that my husband got\nstrep throat three times in a year and was on antibiotics each time. And one\ntime was when we were driving through the night to take our kids to Disney\nworld. And he was like, okay, I got to go to the hospital in the States. And\nthey gave him some steroid and said, we don’t even know if you’ve got it, but\nwe’ll give you the steroid cause it’ll, you know, keep it at bay so it doesn’t\nruin your holiday. And when we returned to Canada, he got checked out at our\nlocal doctor and she’s like, now that you’ve been on so much antibiotics,\nyou’re going to need another round of probiotics, which does sound a little\nmore kind of holistic, you know, based. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we were like probiotic, you know, this was sort of a\nforeign thing. And what it alerted us to is one, our doctor, you know, cares\nabout our gut and our health and is more informed maybe of the harm that\nantibiotics can do. And two things that we take on a regular basis can actually\nbe so harmful as to ruin our gut or our digestive system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So being a mom with, you know, three kids, the walk in\nclinic or the hospital at night was a common place to visit. Right? Kids get\nfever, a gosh, I had a newborn, you know, at the hospital with x-rays and\nfevers and trying to take a urine sample and all of these archaic things. And\nyeah, so we were very much reliant on, on sort of modern medicine. But once we\nhad that revelation, I guess as to the harm that really could be coming with\nthe good, not that there’s no good in modern medicine and in maybe there’s a\ncase for antibiotics at times, but just to know then and we need to look at how\ndo we repair the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards we were introduced to oils over a long period\nof time. We were quite resistant. We were like, this seems weird like hippie\nmedicine and snake oils and we’re not sure you know what this is all about. But\nslowly got exposed to them maybe in more relevant ways and saw their benefits\nand over the past five years completely changed how we take care of our own\nhealth in our family. And when you see something good, you want to share it. So\nthat’s really how the business came about for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, and I bet that some of the learning that you’ve had\nand the experiences that you’ve had and then being able to share that with\nothers, I bet you see that you’ve given hope back to your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, that’s really what we love about it. I wouldn’t\nreally care if there was a business or not. I mean it’s nice that we can make\nthis our livelihood, but when you have something so beneficial and see someone\nwith a problem and you have this solution, you want to share it. So we do bring\nhope for sure. And I know like even in our own family, my mother has got a\nhistory of fibromyalgia and it comes with many symptoms and we’ve given her\nhope to feel good, better now in her seventies than she did in her fifties so\nit’s definitely for sure a message of hope that we bring and not only the\npeople’s health, but then to those who, when a partner with us in the business,\njust like we’ve seen it, we’ve seen the hope come to fruition in terms of our\nfinances as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me about being an entrepreneur. Do you love it? Do\nyou hate it? You know, what keeps you going as far as being an entrepreneur\ngoes? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would say I love it. There’s times when I don’t enjoy\nit. No, I would say I love it. It’s definitely a labor of love requires discipline,\nrequires flexibility. I love it because I get to get out and meet new people\nand I get to look for ways to collaborate with others. I’m always learning. I\nthink as an entrepreneur that’s been the biggest benefit is the personal\ndevelopment that comes because now you realize you’re the thing that’s getting\nin your way and if you want to move forward, you’ve got to make some changes\nmaybe or figure out some tools or some new ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your number one best practice in keeping the\nmotivation going? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, having a clear goal or two or three and we have created a family vision board<\/a><\/strong>, which is quite beautiful. It’s framed in our basement and it’s kind of long term. It’s got long term goals that even right now might seem unrealistic, but they keep us reminded of what’s possible. I think just having those visual cues as to why we’re doing what we’re doing keeps us motivated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love that it’s a family vision board. Did your kids\nhelp you as well? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah. So one, I think it was 2018 the end of the year we\nactually all made family boards and then we made one that sort of represented\nas a family where we were going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it is fun and it’s fun for the kids to, to dream. They\nhave a goal. So we’re getting a dog as soon as I hit my next level in my\nbusiness. And so they remind me, is it going to be this Christmas? When are we\ngoing to get the dog? And so I think having that goal obviously motivates me.\nI’m motivated anyway towards that goal. But it also helps them to accept that\nmaybe mommy’s not going to be around this night or I’m going to miss this event\nbecause I’m working. But they know that there is a gift that comes at the end\nof that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, that’s so, so cool. So I do a lot of work around motivation\nand what motivates us<\/a><\/strong> and why we’re motivated and the different ways\nthat we’re motivated. And I love that you’ve connected like your whole life.\nTwo better your whole life. You know, all types are evolved and all people are\ninvolved and you guys are sort of centered and shifting together. I don’t\nbelieve that work life balance is a thing, but I really believe that if you\nhave these kind of supports and all the pieces working together, it’s, that’s\nhuge. And I feel like you guys are working that magic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think having a combined vision for the family helps us\nto stay aligned and helps us to just kind of go through the motions. Cause the\nother part of the entrepreneurship is flexibility and adaptability. And so when\nthey know we’re working towards a goal together, we have this collective\nvision. It makes them more accepting of things, of, of when we’re away, when\nwe’re here. I mean I’ve traveled a lot in the last year and a half, but I\ntraveled before as well. So that’s wasn’t a huge thing that they had to adapt\nto. But I think when they can see that there’s a real purpose and they don’t\nalways see it, I mean they’re children, they don’t always get it, but at least\nit is something that they can be looking forward to as well. I love that. Even\nmy 14 year old, she’s starting to catch a vision for, you know, working in the\narea of social justice and she dreaming about turning 18 and starting her own\ndoTERRA business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so to see that, you know, even though I’m not sort of\nsuggesting, Hey, this is what you should do, it’s a desire she has. Funnily\nenough, my son once said, when he grew up, he wants to be a stay at home dad.\nAnd I thought that was so sweet because you know, if your dad’s a fireman, you\nwant to be a fireman and if your dad’s a businessman you want to be a business\nman. And he said, I want to be a stay at home dad. And I was like, you’re going\nto have to find the right girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well I love that. That’s so good. It’s also cool because\nyou’re clearly modeling behavior that your kids are looking up to. You know,\nand I don’t have any kids, but I just imagine that I would want to be that role\nmodel for the kids in my life and have them look up to me. You must have a lot\nof pride in that. I think it’s just awesome. I know you mentioned social\njustice and I know that that’s a cause near and dear to your heart as well.\nIt’s more about what you’re doing in that space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, it’s been on my heart for a little while now to just get involved into this topic of human trafficking<\/strong><\/a>. So I’m currently taking just a local government course. Really it’s a free course. Anyone could take it just to understand what happens in this, you know, horrible commercialized trade really here in Canada and relevant to Canada and even Ontario. What kind of programs are available and then from there I’m going to be working with a nonprofit and really starting in education and prevention. So I love to teach, I love to present, I think I’m gifted in that area. That goes along with what I do with my business. I educate people. So being a mom, obviously this is a topic that is near and dear to me. And so how they go about it as they teach in high schools and middle schools, um, middle schools, the message is really about your value and your worth as a human being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which I love because I don’t know that kids always get\nthat message. They certainly don’t get it from bullies. They don’t always get\nit from teachers or even home their home life. So I love that message. And then\nin high schools it’s the same message, but then they actually do alert them to\nthe realities of the risks of what happens and how, how young girls can be\nlured into this. Totally unaware. So it’s a heavy topic, but the more I learn,\nI am refueled as to the fact that I’m on the right path. And it is something\nthat the family, my husband particularly is definitely right alongside and\nsomething my daughters really passionate about as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bet you see a lot of hope in the work that you’re\ndoing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. I want to start with prevention and there’s hope right there. If I can help one girl avoid being lured into that, there’s a lot of hope in that. I think education for me was a starting point. Partly selfishly, I want to be informed, so I want to learn more about it. And the best way to learn is often to teach. And then seeing obviously the other kind of strands of how help is offered through services, through rehabilitation. And I think it’s totally a story of hope. It’s like talk about coming from a place of, utter hopelessness where you have no power over your own body, you have no dignity to a place where you can be restored and healed. So I think it’s a long journey and I’m totally naive to what that takes, but it’s definitely, yeah, a story of hope for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So powerful. I’m inspired and motivated by what’s clearly\na very passionate topic for you. And yeah, really internal and integral too,\nwho you are and who you want to be. And again, back to the modeling behavior.\nYou know, you’re doing something with your hope and you’re actioning it and\nyeah, that’s really motivating for me, and I’m sure the people listening to\nthis as well, like you have a lot going on and as a mom, as a business partner,\nsomeone who’s learning about human trafficking, how do you manage it all? Is\nthere, what’s the secret to your success? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, there’s no secret. I’m always learning, right? I’m\nalways seeking wisdom from those who have gone the path and succeeded in\ndifferent areas. And I think the number one takeaway for me recently is really\nto just be intentional, be intentional about my time, be intentional about what\nI want to be involved with. It sounds like a lot, right? I want to be involved\nwith, I do a lot and I want to be involved with a lot, but there really is a\ntheme I think that sort of threads it all together and it’s really about\nempowering people, empowering women. So if I look at my business, I get to\nempower women and families in their health, in their finances. If I look at it,\nmy work that I’m going to be doing with human trafficking, it’s about\nempowering girls to make bright choices and to be smart and empowering victims\nto get proper care and healing and even, you know, other areas like I lead some\nsmall groups through an organization called leader impact. That’s all over the\nworld, really bringing business leaders together to just grow professionally,\npersonally, spiritually. And so again, it’s about leading and empowering people\nto be their best self. I do see a theme through it all and so that’s why I can\nstay focused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, it sounds like a bit of the structure and a bit of\nleading with your heart and I really liked that message of empowerment. You\nknow, it does in our whole conversation, I can you walk the talk of empowerment\nand it’s really refreshing to hear and seeing the joy in your face as well and\nbring in your voice. So you know, I really appreciate those messages a lot. I\nasked the same question of my guests at the end of every podcast. And I know\nwe’ve talked about a lot of this throughout the whole episode, but maybe you\ncan summarize for us what gives you hope? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JODIE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What gives me hope is just the belief that there’s gotta be a better way. There’s got to be a better way to do something, a better way to be a better way to live, a better you that you can pull out of yourself. And so I think knowing that nothing is impossible, just believing, believing that there really can be a better way and you can make a change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LINDSAY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s awesome. Hope matters. I truly believe that hope\nmatters and you live and breathe that. I so appreciate your time, Jodie, your\nmessages, your, your stories and your passion is truly inspirational. So I so,\nso, so appreciate you being here with us today. Thank you so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
