Wherever you are right now in your life, whatever you are feeling and going through, just know it's where you're meant to be...but it also doesn't mean you need to stay there either. 


Loving Me, Myself & Life is me bringing all I've got, backed with love and passion, to bring you fun, loving, exciting stories about love, challenges, struggles, success, and the journey that brought me here today with YOU. 


Here's a little bit about me...


I’m Jody, a self-love advocate, coach, and founder of the Be You! Community Room and creator of A Course in Self-Love.


For years, I struggled and put myself last, chasing validation from others, and feeling like I wasn’t enough.


But then I discovered the power of self-love, and it completely transformed my life.
Now, I’m on a mission to help other women do the same.


I believe self-love is the key to living authentically, pursuing your dreams, and creating the relationships you deserve.

I can’t wait to guide you on this beautiful journey.

Join me today as I talk about how to balance caring for others while still taking care of yourself. This is tricky, and I've had my own fair share of struggles with this, so my goal here to share what I learned in the hope and belief that it will help you on your own journey.

You probably already know the importance of taking care of yourself, because when we're not taking care of ourselves, we can't take care of others.

Taking care of yourself is more than just pampering; of course, you need to find something that fills you up and brings you joy.

And if you'd like to reclaim your joy, I've got a completely free gift to help you do just that!

And today's question is: How do you manage anxiety when you're making a big decision?

This decision could be a physical move (out of state or province, or even out of country), a career change, or even a relationship. What do you do when things feel so overwhelming?

Well, hang tight because I'm going to walk you through it and share a number of steps that you can take when faced with any of life's big decisions or events.

Remember that it is okay to feel anxious and overwhelmed and afraid of new beginnings. Just try not to let them dictate where you go next.

Everybody has needs. And your needs are not selfish; they're essential.

So join me as we explore how to recognize, name, and begin to meet your emotional and practical needs with compassion, caring, and honesty. As well as learning how to communicate those needs to others.

And if you'd like to really get supported in this, setting boundaries, or even just sharing ideas and asking questions, then the Be You! Community Room is for you.

It's a safe space to practice just showing up authentically as yourself, to share your stories, to share your struggles, your challenges, your wins, and to receive support as you rediscover yourself. And it's 100% free to join and participate.

Thank you for tuning into the second episode of the miniseries Finding Your Way Back Home.

Today we're going to meet fear and learn how to act when it rises up within us. Fear wears many masks.

Procrastination, perfectionism, people pleasing, or self-doubt. It's that little voice holding us back. It's trying to keep us safe, but in doing so, it's keeping us small.

Join me today as I help you to feel the fear, understand why it's showing up, and then do the thing you were scared of doing anyways!

And if you'd like a little bit more guidance to really find your way home, to know who you are, then I have news for you!

I have created a free 7-Day Inner Compass Challenge to guide you through the process of identifying your values. I'll walk you through it and we'll create tiny practices you can perform so the fear becomes more manageable.

Over the next 4 episodes, we're going to explore how to find yourself again, the real you, the one that knew who you were, and did what you wanted so that you can live authentically.

If you're tired of living on autopilot or feeling like you've lost touch with who you are, you're in the right place and I see you. I get you. Because I've been there myself.

In this first episode, we're going to ask a simple, but powerful question: "Where did you go?". We'll name the common ways we lose ourselves, notice what that feels like, and begin the first step back towards home.

It takes real courage to pull back the layers, and really look at where you're at and who you are. That's the first step and I'm here with you on this part of your journey. The next step involves small, consistent practices that tune you back to your inner voice.

And to help you with that I've created a free 7-day Inner Compass Challenge. It's 7 short daily practices designed to help you recognize your values, notice your emotions, and begin making choices that feel true to who you are. Come join us.

Now I understand that sounds so much easier than it can be. Trusting the unknown can be very scary, and it can be frightening at times. But, as I share some of the times in my own life where I let go of control, let go of my expectations, some really amazing things can happen.

I want those things to happen for you too, so in addition to the guided meditation you'll find in here, I talk about the three pillars of trust, what they are, and how you can learn to practice them and trust in them.

Today we're going to talk about "body wisdom", feeling life's love through sensation and presence.

There are days where you wake up intentionally, you feel the ground at your feet, and you set an intention for the day. Those are the days you are listening to your body and are in sync. But then there are other days (and for most of us, there's a lot more of them) where you ignore what your body is trying to tell you.

I'm going to share part of my story, where I was ignoring my body (for years), in the hope that if this sounds like you, you can stop trying to push through it and instead really listen to what your body has to tell you.

Keep listening as I've included a special guided meditation in this episode which you can come back to anytime you need to. If you happen to be a member of this podcast, you also get the meditation on it's own, so something to think about if you're coming back to hear it again and again.

It's a new month, which means it's a new miniseries. This month, we're diving into a theme that can transform everything, and I mean everything: Self-awakening.

Today's episode is the foundation, awakening to presence, learning to come home into the present moment.

Without presence, we get swept on autopilot, reacting out of old patterns, missing connection, or living in past regrets, or future anxieties. So it's very important to start with being present.

Today's episode is all about healing our inner critic - that negative voice that seems (to some of us at least) to have been with us forever. This voice, while it may sound like you, isn't you.

We're going to explore this voice together. Where it comes from, why it exists, and most importantly, how can we soothe it.

The thing is, life moves fast and sometimes even without realizing it, we might be chasing goals that no longer align with who we are right now.

Join me today as I re-visit a topic from earlier this month about being a people-pleaser and becoming a soul-pleaser; someone that still loves and considers others, but not at the expense of their own happiness.

When you realize that the only person whose happiness you can change is your own, that can be very liberating and set you down along the path of self-love towards the person you were always meant to be.

No matter what time of year it is, anytime your life is shaken up by some festive force, you want to come out of it feeling at least as good (if not better) than when it started.

If you can apply even one of the techniques I talk about today, then you'll be in a better position when the holiday (whatever it may be) is over and you'll be able to look back fondly at the memories you made instead of thinking you need a vacation.

Although my entire podcast has self-love and self-care at its center, I felt called today to take a deep dive into what the term "self-love" means.

There's a big difference between "self-love" and "self-care" and while they are related, "self-care" is the easiest or the two...and it's through self-love that we can grow.

And remember, I'm here for you, if you want to get started down your path or need some help along the way.

It's not just about how I look - not really. It's about how I feel. More sluggish, more brain fog, less flexibility...the thing is, weight isn't just what we eat and how we move - you know, the old (and false) adage: Calories in, calories out?

If you're doing everything right, physically, but the weight is still there, then there's something else going on and I encourage you to explore that. To look deeper inside yourself to find that hidden emotional weight that has manifested physically and begin to heal those parts of you.

And remember, I'm here for you too, even as I explore my own pain, and you can contact me here.

The most important relationship you'll ever have is with yourself - so how to you go about nurturing and growing that relationship? Where do you even start? I hope to answer all of that and more for you today.

If this resonates with you, consider joining the WOW Membership for more content just like this.

I wasn't even looking for anything or do any deep soul-searching exercises, the information just sort of fell into my lap. I could have ignored it, or brushed it off, but I didn't.

It's really amazing what you can find when you keep an open mind, and I hope that my story will help to inspire you to keep an open mind as well.

So get up and get out there! Have an adventure, try something new, be open to the possibilities!

And it gave them a chance to miss me too. It wasn't just a weekend for "me" as it turns out, but a weekend for all of us. So if you've been putting off something for you that takes you away from your family, maybe it's time you go and do it - for yourself and them.

I realized that we are living a time of transitions. In our family, our neighbourhood, and in our community. So what can you do about it if you find yourself going through a transition and feel as if your life is changing due to things outside of your control?

Or maybe you started the change, and now there's ripple effects that you didn't anticipate.

Whatever the cause, you must pause, and ask yourself "What do I need right now to help me through this transition?"

Today I have a few stories about how this has happened in my own life and how I turned it around. I stopped focusing on the outcome, and by extension, what I didn't want.

Then the things I did want manifested within my life with a lot less mental energy than I had been using before I learned to slow down and enjoy the journey, instead of being fixated on the destination.

There was a time when I first began my self-love journey and focused more on my needs and filling my buckets, rather than everyone else's buckets, that I didn't have any of the textbook syndromes of PMS.

Now, after a crazy year, not sleeping as well as I could, and other factors adding to my overall stress, all those symptoms are back.

But PMS doesn't have the same meaning for me anymore - all these symptoms are a reminder that I'm putting myself second and if I want the symptoms to stop, I have to rebuild that loving relationship with myself. Won't you join me on a path to a symptom-free life?

For the longest time, I had no idea what that felt like, but slowly as I chipped away the masks and personas I had built around myself, I was able to listen to be my heart and find a place that felt more like home than anywhere I had ever been.

I thought it would be a good time to share, as openly and honestly as possible, a time where I wasn't as graceful or loving - I let my frustrations and anger run the show. If I would have remembered "What Would Love Do?" that day may have turned out very differently for both myself and those around me.

Whether you are a long-time listener or brand new, I thank you for tuning in and Happy International Women's Day!

Sending you so much love!

P.S. I've shared a lot about what has happened to my family and I over the past year, the lessons learned and the practices that helped through it all - so today, why not go back over some of those podcasts that you may have missed?

We've all done this. This thing that can sap our zest for life and love for ourselves.

Today I'm sharing my thoughts on falling into this trap: comparing yourself to others.

In today's always-online world full of social media platforms our thoughts can instantly shift to "comparison-mode" with ease. And when you compare yourself to others, you're not being fair to yourself.

So what can you do? Well, it's not about beating yourself up when you think this way, but being aware so you can shift your thoughts out of "comparison-mode".

I'll share some techniques that have helped me shift my thoughts, and I hope they'll help you too!

We live in a society with a lot of expectations on us as parents, partners, and individuals.

But we're not meant to do everything by ourselves. For me, it's been a journey of self-love and self-discovery to learn to ask for help, and even to accept it when it's offered. I need support too. I need a cheerleader sometimes too. And that's ok!

Asking for help can be the hardest thing you can do if you're not used to it. But you're not asking someone or something to "fix" everything for you, you're asking for a helping hand - that's not weakness. That's showing humility, humanity, and true strength.

But we're not meant to do everything by ourselves. For me, it's been a journey of self-love and self-discovery to learn to ask for help, and even to accept it when it's offered. I need support too. I need a cheerleader sometimes too. And that's ok!

Asking for help can be the hardest thing you can do if you're not used to it. But you're not asking someone or something to "fix" everything for you, you're asking for a helping hand - that's not weakness. That's showing humility, humanity, and true strength.

One of the biggest was discovering just how strong I really am. I wanted to call it quits so many times in those weeks leading up to our move, but I couldn't, so I had to dig deep to find the strength to push through it...

When things get tough, try to focus on the good things in your life right now, or simply look at how far you've come already! This may be hard to do in the midst of a stressful or painful time, so just remember to practice this reflection later - you'll realize that you are so much stronger than you think you are!
