Welcome back to What Is Right With Life!
I don’t know where to begin to tell you about all the wonderful things that are going on here.
Let me back up and answer a question people keep asking me…”How do you do all that you do, how do you get all this stuff done?” What you don’t see is the team behind me. I surround my self with a tribe that supports me and helps me achieve my goals.
Surround your self with amazing people and you will start to see amazing things happen. What are your dreams? What do you want to achieve, what are some of your goals? Have you thought about what comes naturally to you? Are you taking that gift for granted? What do you do that is your natural gift, what is easy for you? You might be surprised to find out that most of us don’t even think what comes naturally might be pretty awesome.
For example, I really like to teach, but didn’t really focus on that in my business. I would send people away to be trained and then re-train them again afterward. That doesn’t make sense. I was sending them away to be trained and then have to untrained them to train them again to work in the space here. That is why I am so excited to announce that we can now offer training in Pilates, Yoga, Reformer and many other things. Let’s change the world through sharing a lot of good vibes and energy with others and watch how all our lives can start to change.
Many people think they are coming in here to work out, but might actually be looking for something else. But we all have to start somewhere. So, what is your gift? What do you like to do? What do you want to share with the world. Don’t let your self get complacent. Keep on learning, keep on growing. Make sure when you set your self up in your business, and you find what your gift is and decide to turn it into a business, set up a system for your self. Then surround your self with a tribe that can support and enhance your life goals. Do some soul searching this week.
Let us know what is your gift.
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

Today I want to talk to you guys about taking your hands off the steering wheel and letting life guide you! That’s how my new Chicago studio and various programs got started. One of our new programs is the 200 YTT Yoga Alliance, Yoga Teacher training program. I am so excited to introduce you to my guest, Michelle Rae Sobi, who has been after me for yours to start offering Yoga Teacher Training and I finally let go and gave in! But, I am so glad. We are now offering training in Chicago and Shorewood, and it is going to help change so many people’s lives.
Why offer teacher training? The benefits go far beyond anything physical you can image. I have noticed people begin to reflect more deeply on a physical and spiritual level as to who they really are. They thought they were learning about yoga poses, but they actually came to learn about themselves.
Opening up the Yoga studio was my front. People think they are coming in for poses, but we all know it is so much more. I actually met Michelle over 15 years ago when she came through my doors for a yoga class. If you have an inkling, trust your intuition, you never know who you are going to meet, who you might even end up collaborating together. We both now own our own Yoga studios and bounce ideas off each other all the time.
A big part of yoga is the people you meet. The mental clarity, the physical well-being are amazing: But the relationships and the different viewpoints are incredible. Sometimes people are afraid to share their knowledge because they think people will take it from them. But we have to start learning as empowered people, not to come from a place of fear, but of trust. So what are some hints for other people out there thinking of starting up their own business but aren’t quite sure how?
For starters, ask for help; don’t be afraid to reach out to people you trust to give your self another perspective. When Michelle opened up her studio she sent me some info and asked “what do you think of this?” When I opened up my new centre she gave me some suggestions too. We support each other yet are completely independent.
So, what are some key components to starting your own business; especially for women? Make sure the agreements you make are in writing, especially if you have friendships. This helps with accountability. Make sure to be aware of the little stuff right from the beginning, sometimes women tend to over look things that later may end up causing more issues than necessary.
Next, have a very good accountant, it is worth the money, whatever you do, have a good accountant! Women need to learn how to support each other more as well. Find a good support system and grow from that foundation. When you are supported you can make better choices and expand your reach to others. I surround myself with people who support the empowerment process not discourage it. This just doesn’t apply to women, this applies to everyone. We can all learn from each other and it is an honor to be able to share what I have learned with you.
There is nothing you can not do. Take your hands off the steering wheel. Check out our Essence Of Life Website where you can find out more about our Yoga Teacher Training Program.
Keep sending in your comments, I love them!
Namaste,

I have some exciting news to talk to you guys about today. Sometimes you just have to get out of your own way and take your hands off the steering wheel. Leaving it up to a higher power can be scary, but when you do, it is amazing to see how the Universe will work when you get out of the way.
The exciting news is we now have a studio in Chicago, right downtown. I partnered with one of my dear friends, Chris Totes from Serenity Wellness. We are right next to her space. The studio, Essence Of Life, will offer Yoga, Pilates, and Barre to start. We will also be running Yoga Teacher Training for those who want a deeper understanding or who feel inspired to teach.
There are tons of workshops already set up and some pretty amazing things are happening. I was not sure which direction to go in. So, I prayed and asked what should I be doing? I was given the answer and here we are. But, I had to be willing to ask for help and know that the answer would come in time.
For months we have been talking about going virtual, and now that studio is fully equipped to record, and do live streaming. We have a great vibe here and so many people have come to me and said, they want to stay connected, but they have to move away, or go on vacation, or they really liked the meditation they had in class that day and want a copy. Now, it doesn’t matter what is going on in your life, you can even watch us on your cell phone. Look out for updates, we are working hard to make that happen as soon as possible.
That’s not all, I am happy to announce we are going to be doing yoga retreats in Bali, Costa Rica and several other places. There will be awesome teachers, leaders and everybody has their own gifts, philosophies to bring to the table.
My message today is, I don’t want you to give up. Pray: your answers are going to show up in front of you. I had no intentions of leaving teaching, I just wondered if I should back off a little bit. But the sign came in from the Universe loud and clear. I wasn’t burnt out from teaching, something was just stirring inside me, and I wasn’t sure where I was going, and how I was going to do it. My intuition was telling me something was going on. If you follow your intuition, you never know who you are going to meet.
Trust your intuition, keep the faith and remember to never give up.
You don’t know what is around the corner.
Tell me what is right with your life. What’s your story, how can you inspire others? How can you share your gifts?
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

Welcome back to another episode of “What Is Right With Life.” People sent in so many comments and positive feedback that we are going to continue with this amazing topic.
You may notice it is a little crazy in here today, but we are still moving forward with our show. No matter what is going on, no matter what chaos might be happening: You are in control. You are in control of what you choose to feel, how you choose to react, and what your intentions are. It is easy to get caught up in what other people are doing, but unless it is positive, don’t even bother.
When you wake up in the morning start with your gratitude and then choose to realize what is right with life. I’ve been asking people what is right with their life and the vibe here completely changed. Why? Because I asked them to change their perspective for just a few minutes. It’s amazing how one question can help you see your life so differently.
So, now I am asking you, what is some of the best advice that you were ever given, or what is the best advice you gave to someone else.
When you reach out to people and start showing you care, and start sharing your self, everything changes. I can tell you as a result of doing the work, taking the online courses and striving forward, the people I have worked with have really changed their perspective. They have really changed their lives. I am grateful for the people that trust me enough to work together to achieve their goals, create new ones, re-evaluate where they are in life and then choose where they would like to be. One student of the Change Your Life Program told me how confident she feels now and has discovered new enthusiasm for life.
Consider this moment an investment in your future.
Simple little shifts can have a profound effect. You chose this life, so who you surround your self with is really important. Take a look at the five closest people you surround your self with? Are you surrounded by those who will support you in planting new seeds?
I will leave you with this one question. What have you done…. that shifted your perspective and then changed your life? We really want to hear your stories.
Namaste,

Today I want to talk to you about changing your perspective on life. It may seem simple enough but how we perceive life, really affects how we live.
Usually we are always talking about the empowerment talk, but what we are going to do is intertwine two things that are really important. One is “Empowerment Talk” and the other one is “What Is Right With Life.”
If we can start seeing what is right with life, and making better decisions, people will have a much better quality of life.
Are you grateful for waking up this morning? We have so many things to be grateful for but we often take all our abundance for granted. My friends started “Watts for Life” for people in other countries who don’t always have access to energy. Can you imagine not being able to turn on the light?
Quit waiting for that perfect job, or to lose those pounds you have been thinking about, or making a million dollars. You can do right with the world right now. Did you have good customer service recently? If you did, just mention it to that person and those simple words “I appreciate you”, can have a huge impact on someone. Give someone a tip, donate your time, quit waiting for some day, last time I checked there wasn’t a some day on the calendar.
Every single one of you has this amazing gift inside of you. Stop dimming your light, show other people how to become an inspiration to others. Be empowered and know you can achieve your goals.
If you have an idea, try it out. Just because it doesn’t work the first time doesn’t mean you have to give up. Keep going, you can do it.
I want to hear what is right with life.
Keep sending in the comments, I love to read them.
Namaste,

Don’t Just Survive, I Want You To Thrive
Today I have the honor to have with me, Gloria Dollinger, a registered dietitian, mother, and business owner. She is going to be teaching us about the power of food and how we can use our relationship with food to help change our life.
As a Dietician, she knows what we should be eating,
but as a mother and a friend, she also knows, knowing… isn’t alway enough.
Lifestyle changes don’t have to be intimidating, nor overwhelming.
Just recognizing our thoughts about what we eat, or noticing how or when we eat can make significant changes in our diet and the way we look at our self, and the way we look at food.
Since we have to eat to live, I really wanted Gloria to come on my show so she could give us a glimpse at something we often overlook as an important contributing factor in the quality of our lives. Change is inevitable, so we need to also recognize that our eating patterns, exercise and lifestyles will probably change too. But if we take the time to take care of our selves, nurture our selves, and avoid the common mistakes of self-sabatoge, and running away from our issues, we can use this change as a catalyst. The power is in your hands, and on your plate. We eat everyday, so everyday you have the opportunity to choose health and wellness. Make little changes and accept your self where you are right now.
Thanks for tuning in and please send in your comments about this podcast. We love hearing from you!
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek
