OWN Your Next Chapter

Fresh perspectives on real-life situations that keep you up at night. 

Life is already hard enough.

Let's stop making it harder than it needs to be.

 

Stuck in your head?

You know... when your brain decides 2 a.m. is the perfect time to fixate on everything you're worried about.

  • Your adult kids.
  • Your health.
  • The people you love.
  • The future.
  • Whether you're doing enough.
  • Or simply whether your knees will hold up for pickleball.

If any of that feels familiar...

Welcome. You're among friends.

The people and things we love often take up the most space in our heads.

 

Turns out caring isn't the problem. It's part of being human.

It's that our minds often fill in the blanks ...and somehow act like they're certified facts. 

We see life through the lens of our own experiences and the information we have at the time.

 

When we can see the same situation from a different perspective, everything that comes next can change.

 

Sometimes the biggest relief doesn't come from solving the problem.

It comes from seeing it differently.

 

Imagine if...

...you didn't have to believe every story your mind told you. 

...you found yourself letting things go sooner.

...you stopped trying to create certainty where there isn't any.

...you stopped assuming other people's behavior was always about you.

...you trusted your future self to handle whatever comes.

...you got some of that brain space back.

 

That's what we do in OWN.

Every month we explore real-life situations together.

Not because everyone has the same problem.

But because we all recognize ourselves in it.

You'll discover a different way of thinking about the situations that keep you stuck.

 

You will leave with:

• a fresh perspective you can immediately apply to your own life

• a simple way to respond differently when something happens

• one small experiment to practice before we meet again

 

Over time, you'll start catching yourself.

Questioning the story your mind tells you.

Thinking differently.

Responding differently.

Eventually...

doing it on your OWN.

 

Sometimes one small shift changes everything that comes next.

 

 

What women are saying

"I left seeing my situation in a new way that helped me let it go." Jill S. 

"Jodi makes everyone feel comfortable, whether you share or just listen." 

Isabel S. 

"I'm catching myself questioning the story instead of automatically believing the thoughts my mind tells me." Vicky Z. 

 

Knowing isn't the hard part.

Most of us already know what we should do.

The hard part is remembering it when we need it most.

Because insight is great...

Until you're in an argument with your partner.

Or worrying about your adult child.

Or waiting for test results.

That's why we practice them together.

 

Do I have to share?

No.

Some women bring a situation.

Others simply listen.

Almost everyone leaves with a new perspective they can apply to their own life.

There's no pressure to speak.

Only to show up.

If you've been watching my reels and thinking...

"Jodi, you're in my head."

This is where we go deeper.
