Today I would like to talk about how we can really make a difference in other people’s lives. I got an e-mail from someone who took my class over a decade ago. They walked into my studio and we hit it off right away. The wife took hours trying to help me learn some much needed computer skills. Fast forward a few years later and she and her husband came in when I moved to a bigger space to buy packages, (although they could not use them because of how far they lived), to just support me. You never know, who is paying attention, who is watching, and who will be there to support you. Fast forward again, my book comes out, and she bought it which I had no idea about. Fast forward again, she did the Six Week Change Your Life Program. And things really started to change in her life. Usually when people start they don’t write down too much, maybe six or seven lines or so. But by the end of the program people are writing paragraphs and novels!
Come to find out, because of the program she and her husband realized they had given up on their dreams. They decided to let go and stop making excuses and when they did, changes started to happen immediately. Now they are living in their dream home where they had always wanted but never thought could manage. Her message really made me cry. She said if she had not done the book and the Six Week Change Your Life program, her life would have been in shambles. She is not the first person who has said that, but I have to say the same thing to all of you. Because of you, I am being given a chance to share. We need each other don’t we? We are all here to help one another. But, in order to help someone else you have to take care of your self first.
So, I want you to choose you.
What is choosing? Choice is the act of picking or deciding between two or more possibilities. What are your possibilities? You can either choose you, or you can choose excuses that make you feel better about not working towards your goals. During the Six Week Change Your Life Program, we take a lot of time to think about what goals are best to work on, and not only that, we focus on how fulfill those goals. What are the steps involved, what are the obstacles, how can they be removed, how can success be realized? That is why people choose to take this course more than once, don’t we sometimes have different goals we want to work towards?
Once you choose you, the Universe opens up. Be ready to receive, when it shows up receive it. I want you to start thinking every single day, “What went right?” Write out your intentions daily, but don’t forget to celebrate them! Cross off everything you get done during the day, big stuff and small stuff. Put a big star or clappy hand emojis! Celebrate all of you accomplishments! You are encouraging yourself to be productive! When you do this you are also telling the Universe, that you are celebrating everything that it has blessed you with!
You never know who you are inspiring.
With this being said, when we take the time to help others, we inspire them to help themselves, which opens them up to being able to help others, and so on and so on. It has a beautiful, beautiful, ripple effect! Someone else will say thank you to you, for saving their life, by the way you lived, by the words you used, by the love you decided to share with them. Live your best life, love, laugh and dream big.
You never know who you might be helping along the way. You never know who you might be uplifting by just trying to be a better you. By making changes you are changing the world.
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

Today I would like to talk about the power of intentions. Are you setting your intentions? Every single morning when I wake up, I set my intentions. When you do that, it sets you in this vibration of opening yourself up to allowing those miracles you have been asking for to come into your life. And, I am a big believer of being grateful for everything. You have to say thank you for all those wonderful beautiful things in your life.
But, let’s start to learn how to set your intentions.
Today, I want to laugh.
Today, my intention is to make my clients day better.
Today, I want to go beyond my own limitations.
Today, I want to start setting up intentions.
It sets the momentum happening. Everything that I have set my intentions to do has already happened.
Somebody mentioned to me that you have to ask for what you want in life, but when it shows up you also have to be ready to receive it.
But when was the last time you asked, source, God, universe, and said, can you help me today? When was the last time you asked? When was the last time you allowed your self to receive it?
If you asked to be healthy and vibrant, and somebody noticed how good you looked, how did you respond? Were you able to receive that?
Take a look at what happens if you ask for things and then you are not able to receive them.
If you can’t receive, the blessings can’t make it to you.
Aren’t you worth being able to live your best life?
I know you are.
I am not going to tell you that it is all rainbows and unicorns, because it is not.
Some days are going to be very challenging but how you choose to react to those days, is where your power lies.
Your intention to be open to receive instead of resistance, changes the vibration of your life.
When you get into that habit, it will change your life.
If you don’t start today when are you going to do it? Your future self is waiting for you to start. Really focus on what is really right in your life right now.
Come to a place of gratitude and get out of your own way.
You are going to inspire so many people by living your best life.
I don’t care what your past was, if God can forgive you, why can’t you forgive you?
Why are you still beating your self up? Start by forgiving your self, let go of your shame, change your story and start to choose you.
I hope your life is amazing.
I hope to hear from you.
I am so grateful to all the people who sent their stories in for the next book.
We can help others in so many ways.
Thank you for sharing your story with me.
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

Today I would like to talk about how to connect to your future self. You might be surprised to find out what you can discover about your self from a different perspective. Recently, someone from the ‘Change Your Life’ webinar admitted that there were things he was masking from himself and recognized that if he wanted to move forward professionally and personally, it was time to start taking that mask off and being brutally honest with himself.
If your future self were to be brutally honest with you, what would it say?
What do you need to do differently to create a different future?
Doing the same thing and expecting a different result has been called ‘insanity’ because it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Would your future self tell you to be grateful for everything in your life? How often are we really grateful for what is going on in our lives? It may seem like I say this often, but you can never really be too grateful. When you look around in the news and media, the people who have been able to reach great success, all share that they were grateful before they become successful. The key ingredient is to appreciate and like where you are now, enjoy the journey, relish the experiences that are actually making you into that confident future self that is awaiting you.
Your future self is amazing, your future self has beautiful relationships with self. It doesn’t look in the mirror and criticize itself. I want you to have a beautiful relationship with your emotions, family, significant others, work, and anything else in your life. But, that means letting go of negative relationships and a negative mentality. You need to let go of the negativity you have toward your future. Instead, make a list of the things in your life that you want to cultivate. What is your list? Remember to reflect on the mental, spiritual, physical, emotional, finances, relationships, work, and goals.
Put it somewhere, maybe even your screen saver. Being the best version of you, in all of these things. It is going to take work, but it is worth it. If you can just for a moment imagine your self five years from now. Having beautiful health, incredible connections, no longer comparing your self to others. Imagine a healthy relationship with money, money flows to you, there is no lack. But you have to change your mindset. Your future self, feels amazing, your future self has taken you to places, you have had great experiences, you are co-creating, doing more things that you could have imaged. Take your self out of that cage that limits you. Let your self out of that cage, whatever it looks like to you. Spread those wings, and fly so high, you are not going to realize, your future self is going to say, thank you for choosing you, for believing in your self, for letting go of limitations and manifesting.
My friend said to me the other day, ‘You can not swim if you are holding onto that anchor.’ Do you have a relationship with your self that wants to keep you where you are because you are afraid of transition? Release the anchor, get out of the cage, whatever analogy that you need to use, write it down so you can remember it. Use that, and make it your mantra. My mantra personally and professionally, is to love, laugh, forgive and dream big. I am stepping into a vulnerable state too, but it doesn’t have to be scary, this is a really exciting time. Don’t think you have to know everything, you don’t have to have every step figured out. Be okay with that feeling of vulnerability. That vulnerability is the precipice to the greatness you are about to experience.
I can’t wait to see how you are going to become an even better version of your self. Whenever I pray or meditate I always say “and, or for my higher good.” Where we come from, our environment, our culture, or our past, can sometimes put a label on things, but if you say ‘and or for my higher good you give the universe room to bless you. You deserve it, go out there and live your best life.
Celebrate your wins.
Tell me about it.
The ‘Six Week Change Your Life’ webinar was created so there was some sense of accountability. There is actually somebody on the other end answering those questions, commenting on your growth and supporting you every step of the way.
And that somebody is me, I want you to succeed.
I want you to achieve your goals.
I want you to hear your future self speaking to you right now, encouraging you to take that leap of faith and jump into your new life.
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

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,
