Last week was really powerful. Sometimes when the Universe sits you down and says ‘shush’ it means it is time to slow down. My voice was really hoarse and I saw that as a sign from the Universe to slow down. What happens when you are not doing well? Well, I suggest you do something for your self. A lot of times we get physically ill when something is out of alignment. Could you be doing too much? Not resting enough? Taking care of your self is the greatest way to be able to take care of others.
I am in a huge transition right now, and things are ending, as well as new things are beginning. It’s okay to make a change. It’s okay to expand beyond your limits. When we expand, we can start to move away the blocks that we have put in our own path.
Last week I was focusing on breaking that glass ceiling. A lot of us put limits on ourselves without evening knowing. Are you constantly playing an old tape in your head from years ago? Change out those beliefs that you have and break that glass ceiling. Whatever that glass ceiling is for you. It could be financial, physical, relationships, or anything you have been striving for yet just not able to attain. By being grateful for change you allow what is in your best interest to unfold.
Do you remember when I said that Universe has a very odd sense of humor? Well, eventually whatever you ask for you will receive. But, do you resist the change you have been asking for? Maybe you are in the transition in your life and moving forward. Don’t forget that transition is necessary.
I have talked a lot before about manifesting your dream. But did you know, you are co-creating with people all the time? Co-creating is manifesting and creating your goals, but it is much more than that. The reality is you are always creating with the energy around you. We create our lives with our thoughts and actions, with the universe, and who you share your dreams with. Set your self in the beautiful vibration of creating and drawing in what you want in your life. Surround your self with the vibrational energy that you need to achieve your dreams.
I have been taking webinars, online classes, reading books, and surrounding myself with people who are moving in the same direction: Creating the greatest version of themselves they can be. By being open to learning from others, I was able to break my glass ceiling and get on stage to talk at a Lisa Nichols event. I had no idea that would happen, I was just happy to be able to attend one of her events. She recognized me from the Steve Harvey show and asked me to come on stage. I really appreciate the opportunity she gave me to break my glass ceiling.
By sending others you know this podcast you can be helping others to break their glass ceiling too. Our downloads are huge and we don’t advertise. So it is just people like you listening and sharing with others you care about.
Do you have a gift you can share with others? Break your glass ceiling by sharing with others. But, remember to be authentic. You don’t have to be a carbon copy of someone else.
Be your own true authentic self.
If you want to co-create you need to be your self.
Co-creation is an amazing part of life and I hope you join us on your journey.
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

I have been getting a lot of questions lately about what an empowered life really means. An empowered life freaken rocks! It means you are in control of your life. It means you are in control of your decisions. You are in control of the way that you feel. You are in control of where you are going spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially, physically: you are the one in control of all of those spaces.
I am not saying you are not going to have a bad day and you are not going to unravel sometimes. But, when I’m having a bad day, I give myself permission to take a small amount of time to unravel. You are human, we are absolutely human, we are going to have some bad days. But, I also know I have tools to help me get out of that space. Those tools are deep inside of me. And if I don’t have those tools, I also know it is only a click or call away. I can look it up on the internet, or I can just call somebody and get back on track.
Sometimes we let a lot of other stuff come into play. That starts to interfere with your head and you lose your power. You have to make sure you are looking at what is right, instead of what is wrong.
Empowerment is seeing what is right with your life. Then you come from a place of what can you do a little differently to push past that glass ceiling that you may have created for your self. But, first and foremost you are coming from a place where you see how great life is, you see all the potential you have within you, and you can see what your future can hold for you too.
What else does empowerment mean? It means taking care of your self so you can really fulfill your goals and achieve everything you have been dreaming of. If you teach people how to treat you by how you treat your self, that is empowerment. If you believe in yourself enough to take care of yourself, you are then in control of your life. You are deciding that you are your most valuable asset and you need to nurture and support your self so you can keep on going.
You can take yourself into a new space and help even more people. But, it has to start with you. What are you grateful for? Whatever you are grateful for will come back to you tenfold.
Are you wearing a certain hat and forgetting that you are not that role? You play the role of a mother, you play the role of a teacher, but that is a role. Don’t forget to take that hat off and nurture the one wearing the hat. Give your self permission to meditate. Give your self permission to allow your self to grow. Knowledge gives you the strength to be able to teach others. Look back at your life at how many people you have been able to teach along the way. Look at all that you have been able to accomplish already.
Allow your self to be empowered, allow your self to grow. Act like a success, and that doesn’t mean fake it from the space of ego. Know it inside you, feel it inside of you that you are successful because you are choosing to be the one in control of your choices, and you are the one in control of your life. Living an empowered life means never forgetting how much you can change your own life and help to change the lives of others too. Don’t let discouragement stop you from being that greatest version of your self that you can imagine. Remember the mantra for this year is ‘love, laugh, give and dream big.’ When you let negative thinking slip in it slows down all your progress and wastes your time. There is a reason for everything, you can learn from every single experience in your life, and you can also help to inspire others to move forward and achieve their goals too.
You are worth it!
Namaste,

I was so excited to hear all of your feedback, it was great. I love hearing from you guys, hearing how you are feeling, and hearing how you are doing, so keep the comments coming in!
One of the questions that someone asked after the last show was, ‘how do I go about achieving my goals?’ I know you hear me talking about my goals all the time, which is important part of planning process. Speak your goals out so the Universe can know what you want. But, to be honest, there were times when I started to beat my self up if I didn’t get all of them accomplished in the exact time I wanted. I decided to stop doing that because it wasn’t loving, and it wasn’t really helping. I started staying in flow and celebrating what I was able to accomplish instead of stewing on what I couldn’t get done. This is an easy step to be able to succeed, stay in the flow and celebrate. It creates a mind set of miracles and gratitude versus disappointment and discouragement. So, whatever it is you want to accomplish, whatever it is you want to achieve, give your self permission to celebrate the little ‘wins’ on the way.
So, what is something that most people don’t normally think about when working on their goals? Clarity. You might wonder why being clear about your goals is a necessary factor, especially when you have already decided what you want to work on. But, I really encourage every one of you to spend some more 
time getting very clear on exactly what it is you want to manifest. The Universe has a great sense of humor even though we might not think it is funny, but it will eventually give you what you ask for! I was at a taping of Steve Harvey last week and he was joking about how he asked God to help take him globally. I think we can all agree, after that big mixup at the Beaty Pageant, he did became global… just not in the way he was expecting.
What else can you do to get closer to your goals? Are you a visual person? Have you started your vision board? The more specific you are, the easier it is for you to draw it into your life. Spend some time in your own space reflecting on what you really want. Are you sure what you are hoping to manifest is going to bring you want you really want in life. You might be surprised that beneath that dream, is something else that is being covered up. So, getting clear on your goals is also a way to save your self some time too.
Another thing that is important to consider when working on goals is ‘Where is your focus?’ For example, when we focus on what type of relationship we don’t want, we are still thinking about what we don’t want: that idea is still in our mind. Focus on what type of person you would like to be with, focus on the characteristics you admire and like. Are you already in a good relationship that you are forgetting to appreciate? Make it a point to spend time together, schedule a date, schedule time to focus and connect.
What about career? Establishing a new career is a very common goal for people. Actually, quite a few people have told me that they are not happy in their careers and they wish they could do something else. How about if you change your mindset and make that career that you are already in an investment for your future career? When I started my studio, I quit my ‘job’ because I thought I had to go all in. I had no investors or partners and did it all on my own. But looking back now, if I had of done it little differently, I would have kept that ‘job’ to be one of my investors so I would have had a little more time to explore, and a little less stress carrying all the financial burden.
Put it out there but take a little action every day. You have to be prepared to do the work that goes along with your goals. But, don’t get so focused on a plan that it will happen a certain way. Is the Universe trying to bless you and you can’t see it because you are looking for it to come in a different way? Allow your self to receive, allow your self to believe in you. There may be some really dark moments, but that could be the moment before you have a breakthrough. The worst thing to do is give up. You may have set backs, you may become discouraged, you may even doubt you can do what you put your mind to. But, those are just moments that will make achieving your goal even sweeter. One of my clients started to try and talk herself into not working on her goals anymore because they seemed to difficult. Well, she knew enough to schedule a life coaching session so she could be reminded that she was worth it, and that she could do it. Sometimes all we need is a little reminder. So, remember our mantra this year is to love, laugh, forgive and dream big.
Namaste,

Today I want to talk to you guys about something I am choosing to make my mantra for the entire year.
Love, Laugh, Give and Dream Big.
We are all destined for greatness but sometimes we don’t love our self enough, or we may even feel if we do step into our greatness, our loved ones won’t come along with us. You don’t really know what others will do, or how they will react to you making positive changes in your life. But, you can trust that you will be a better spouse, or friend, or teacher, and person, if you love your self enough to move forward.
What about laughter? Are you laughing enough? This question may sound silly to you but laughter is the best healing medicine that you could ask for. If you are depressed, get out and surround your self with really great people. Go watch a comedy, accept that invitation to the party you don’t feel like going to. Laughter is contagious and it brings people together from all different walks of life. Don’t be afraid to let your self go a little and find that laughter waiting inside. Look at life through the eyes of a child and tap into that wonder and awe they have.
What about forgiveness? The one person we don’t often forgive is our self. Are you so goal orientated that you beat your self up when you aren’t able to accomplish what you want right away? Did you stay in a relationship that you knew better to stay in, or did you not trust your intuition? I want you to stop beating your self up! Start forgiving your self. But, I don’t want you to stop there, forgive others too. People are doing the best they can and sometimes they don’t even know what they have done.
What about giving? Have you ever heard when you give you also receive? Let your self give. When you give, you learn to let go. Give people permission to live their own journey, that is their journey. What is your journey? How many times have you shrunk back in your life and you were afraid that everything you wanted was starting to happen? Don’t let fear of success sabotage your choice to achieve what you have set your mind to.
What are your dreams?
You may have a dream, which maybe just one brick on a long path.
From that brick you can start building and creating something new everyday.
Say yes to those opportunities that show up.
Sometimes that dream is going to be for a season or reason to help you with your next dream.
What is one of the best ways to give back to the world? It is to inspire. Maybe your path hasn’t been taken by others. You can help others along their path by inspiring them. You have no idea who is watching you and paying attention. Dream big and laugh along the way and find forgiveness when things don’t work out the way you think they should.
There is so much guidance that we don’t often pay attention to. Sometimes we have to get out of our own way.
This week I want you to…
Love, Laugh, Give and Dream Big.
Celebrate your small accomplishments, it’s not about the big things, it’s about every brick that you lay along this journey called life.
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

Today I would like to talk about clearing out your past to make room for your future. How many times have you held onto things that you don’t really need and don’t even realize they are taking up space in your life?
Have you made some real changes in your mind and your body, but keep looking back and begin to question your own choices?
Let’s go and clean out some things so you don’t have permission to go back to your old life. Invest in your self, in new schooling, training, or whatever you need to do at this time. What about that crazy desk drawer that barely opens and closes?
If you take the time to organize, then you also take the time to let go, and if you let go, you give your self the space you need to grow and evolve.
You know what you are good at. That is your gift, go and share it, don’t waste your time trying to manage everything. Your weakness may be someone else’s strength. You don’t have to handle every single aspect of your home or business.
Isn’t your time so important? Are you using your most precious gift or are you letting it slip between your fingers because you are too busy to notice life passing you by?
The most beautiful present you can give to anyone is to be fully present… wherever you are, and with whomever you are with.
Don’t let guilt stop you from making choices you know are good for you. If you invest in your self, do you think those closest around you will also benefit?
There is a new year the day you decide to change.
The new space in your life starts when you choose something new to create.
When you start making choices for the changes you want in your life,
your life will respond by changing!
Pay attention to your self, to what you are doing, to what you are thinking, to what you are eating, to what you are taking in, and what you are sending out.
I want you to spend time with people who are uplifting, listen to shows that are inspiring and engaging, and surround your self with the circumstances that will ensure you are where you want to really be.
Give your self permission to get rid of the past, it served you well, it helped you get to where you are right now. But, now that you are ready to move into a great future it is time to re-start your life by clearing out to make room so that new future can begin.
Namaste,
