I have known her since she was young. Thanks for watching and listening to our ‘What’s Right With Life TV & Podcast.’ Today I would like you guys to meet Hannah, she is my new marketing intern. I have known her since she was young. She is a little shy right now because she didn’t think she was going to be in front of the camera, but she knows how to go with the flow. I strategically ran into her a while ago by eating at the restaurant where she was working. I sensed we were meant to work together, but wasn’t sure what was going on in her life. Surprisingly, she shared how she wanted to expand into marketing, learn new strategies and new social media techniques etc. Little did she know that  I was expanding the new Essence Of Life Studio into the Chicago area, and could use a new intern! She started out with helping us with social media and digital stuff, and then moved on to marketing the new studio in Chicago. Hannah used to and still does attend my original studio in Shorewood when she can. She knows how much time and effort I had to put in to just get that one started up. Now, we are now totally back to grass roots and building again in Chicago.
Earlier we were discussing what can you do when you want to start something new, like a small business, or a studio, boutique, etc. First, you have to move beyond what you know and start learning different ways to connect with people. And, you have to let the Universe surprise you! Neither one of us thought we would be working together, yet here we are and it has been amazing so far. We went to see Steve Harvey the other day and we were so impressed by how excited everyone was to be there. So, of course, Hannah wanted to see how our camera crew does things here at Jodie Baudek Productions. She got to see first-hand, setting up the lights, microphone and staging. She has also started Instagram and other social media programs and now everyone can check at anytime to see what’s new!
You never know what is going to happen in your life. Be open to surprises, be open to allowing the Universe to surprise you. I had no idea that my little Hannah would grow up to be my new Marketing Manager Intern. Surround your self with people who support and encourage you and create an exciting life. Thanks for tuning into, ‘What’s Right With Life‘ today, when we focus on what is right the opportunities are boundless.
Please continue sending in your comments and questions. We have a new line-up of guests for you in the following weeks so stay tuned, and stay in touch!
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

I wanted you to get to know Dr. Kris Tohtz a little more. She is my dear friend, and an amazing person. As the founder of Serenity Family Wellness in Chicago, it took a lot for her to get where she is. But, We are back!
I wanted you to get to know Dr. Kris Tohtz a little more. She is my dear friend, and an amazing person. As the founder of Serenity Family Wellness in Chicago, it took a lot for her to get where she is. But, the reality is no matter what goals we want to achieve, we have to be willing to put in the time to work towards attaining them. People will share their opinions with you, but it is up to you to decide what is best for you.
Every one has a unique path, we are not all the same, so the way we go about achieving our goals will also not be the same.
But, the one thing we do have in common is… if we stop, then nothing will be gained, our goals can’t be achieved if we don’t continue until they are attained. That doesn’t mean we don’t adjust what we are working towards as we evolve, but adjusting and giving up on our dreams are two very different things.
We also have to keep on learning. Dr. Kris shares in this video and podcast that she considers her education a tool that she keeps in her tool belt. She can pull out whichever tool she needs, at different times, working with different people. But, if she had of stopped, and listened to those who thought her choices weren’t so practical, would she be where she is today?
So, appreciate the advice others will give to you, acknowledge them and then choose what is best for you. Pssst…She also shares a tip about how to avoid radiation and protect the thyroid too, so listen close.
Learning is so important. That is why we offer as many training programs as possible and why we are constantly creating new ones. Learning is a way to keep your mind young, and your health vibrant. We would love for you to stop by and find out all that is going on here too.
Thanks again for watching and listening, and if you would like to send in your comments please keep them coming.
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

Embrace The Change</a> appeared first on <a href="https://jodiebaudek.com">Jodie Baudek</a>.</p> 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, 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

That’s how my new Chicago studio and various programs got started. One of our new programs is the 200 YTT Yoga Alliance, 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!

Leaving it up to a higher power can be scary, but when you do, 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,

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.

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!

I am so excited to introduce you to an amazing friend of mine, Jim Lopez. We met at my one of my book signings and we haven’t stopped talking since. I gave him a challenge to write his own book and he took it.
Jim is a Chiropractor at Universal Wellness Source in Chicago. His site can be found at www.universalwellnesssource. com. He truly does so much for his community. He is currently doing a fundraiser for local Chicago Public Schools, so anyone who wants to be able to receive treatment should not be denied because of financial issues.
Our kids are lacking health education, and it is up to us to help educate people about better nutrition, health and most of all well-being.
What I find really interesting about Jim is his focus on women’s health issues, which are a real concern for a lot of people I know. There are alternative ways to support both men and women in making healthy choices for not only themselves but also their families.
Sometimes we have to follow our intuition. Sometimes we have to go with what we think is right. This doesn’t mean we need to ignore our doctors though! I love my doctor, but the onus is on us to be a wise consumer.
His story is touching because women’s health issues hit very close to home for him. I really admire him because he used the challenges he and his family had to face as a motivation to help others.
I challenged him to write his own book and to share his story with as many people as possible. I can’t tell you guys how important it is for us to starting sharing what we have experienced with others.

I challenge all of you, and I am here to help. We are almost finished book number two, and it really is an incredible journey to share your soul with others.

We don’t know who is in the room.
We don’t know who we can touch.
We don’t know exactly what the ripple effect will bring, but what we do know this…
if you decide to give,
if you decide to reach out,
there will be a ripple effect.

She is part of Jodie Baudek Productions, and will be a part of the crazy amazing things we have going on here. Lori had been training hundreds of people in Chicago and very focused on food and exercise and then noticed a pattern: life happened. They weren’t able to reach the goals they really wanted to attain. Finally, a lightbulb went off and she realized that the Health Coaching piece was missing. She could help facilitate change in her clients by assisting them to understand their thoughts, behaviors and patterns that just weren’t helping them anymore.

There is so much more beyond the physical body and that does need to be addressed when considering how to change your life. For example, a client used to schedule appointments with Lori who was suffering from depression and could only feel comfortable in baggy clothes. So, Lori helped her to understand where her mentality was and what needed to be addressed first. The Change Your Life Webinar we have on our site is very similar.
People want to make changes all the time, but how many are able to be successful at actually making those changes? Very few.
Why? Because there are other factors that are not being considered but yet still impact our choices, our lives, and our world.
For instance, a lot of us are focused on our health. But, health is not just your blood pressure, it is your over all well-being. Do you notice we create certain stories to support our bad habits? Change your story! Clients that want to lose weight start of with 10 to 15 pounds and then get stuck. Sometimes their story is they “can’t” because they have never been able to, but that story can be changed. Weight is just one of the ways we can have an endless battle with our selves unnecessarily. Why do you want to lose weight? Is it for your self or for others? Are you surrounding your self with people who will support you?
Are the stories of other people affecting you? Where do you begin and end? Where does the other person begin and end? Do you have healthy boundaries?
Also, do you find your self beating your self up because you are having a bad day?  Do you notice you have an all or nothing mentality? Allow for the ups and downs and love your self more for it. We don’t just come to our happy place, it is through the challenges, and through those challenges you can better your self. That way you can be more authentic, that way you can really inspire others.
How you can understand where someone else is coming from? How can you really empathize with another? It is going through what you are experiencing right now. We all have a past, we all have stuff, it’s okay to process them in your own time. But that past, that stuff, can help other people if you let it.
Sometimes the hardest thing is just giving your self a few minutes to your self everyday. Only a few minutes can make a world of difference for the next 24 hours. It’s not that you don’t love others, but you have to learn to love your self first, by taking care of your self so you can actually be there for others when they really need you. Watch how things will change when you have determination to choose your self.
Claiming time for your self is so huge.
We are going to get into more things like working on the thoughts in your head, the nutrition that you are putting into you, physical well-being and so much more.
Keep an eye out for more youtube videos and podcasts in the weeks to come because we will be answering your questions and talking about the things you asked to hear about.

Book number one, “Pssst…Wanna Get Out Of Your Own Way”, has been doing really well.  But it is time for the next one to come out. Here is the thing…. we need help naming the next book. This book has changed so many lives, we had to put names in a hat because we couldn’t figure out which ones we were going to use for book number two. Their stories are so inspirational.
It takes a tribe, I need you to help me name this book. It is the stories of people who knew they wanted to make a change and came in to do the first book with me.  We videotaped them on their very first day of their journey doing “Wanna Get Out Of Your Own Way.”  Their faces changed, because their lives changed. Watching people grow and literally get out of their own way is humbling and encouraging. When you see others let go of old stories and negative tapes playing in their heads, and embrace a new way of thinking and living, you know without a doubt that anything is possible.
So, start submitting potential titles, you can use Instagram or youtube, or e-mail. Whoever name we choose to title the second book, he or she will receive the first book, Pssst, Wanna Get Out Of Your Own Way, the second book and the Six Week Change Your Life program.  It is an online program that helps you to peel away those layers and get to the person you want to be, and live the life you want to live.  You are amazing, There is nothing you can’t achieve. There is nothing you can not do. This program helps you to focus on your goals, remove the blocks and clear the way for an incredible life.
The only limitations you have are the one’s you place on your self. I am so excited you joined me on this journey and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Let go of any story that you have told yourself that you have to stay where you are if you are not completely happy. So, don’t hold your self back because of someone else. Don’t shrink down because of someone else. Don’t you want to know that you were happy? Don’t you want to know you lived your best life?
The secret of getting there is:
A) Forgive  B) Choosing You  C) Going for it!
Most importantly you need to start having a beautiful relationship with your self.
You can not keep going externally to be happy, it has to be internal.
At different points in your life we attract different things, people, events and circumstances.
Those things come and go, that is just a part of life, but are you holding onto those things? Forgive your self for hanging onto to something that somebody told you, or a label they put onto you. Forgive your self and let it go. It is time for you to start choosing you and going for it!
Do you have something you can share but don’t feel comfortable charging? Do you think that there is a small chance you could help somebody? By allowing your self to receive form others in return for what you can share with them, you can then in turn share so much more.
I had to take a real leap of faith to start this center. But there was a lot of people telling me I could not do it, that I would not make it and be closed within a year. They said this kind of stuff wouldn’t make it in this area. What would have happened if I had listened to everything everyone else had to say about my life?
You choose your life, you choose what you want to do, you choose who you surround your self with, you choose what you put into your body.
Choose you and dream big. There is nothing that is impossible.
What is your deepest, deepest desire?
Write it down, Instagram me and I will hold you accountable for that.
Your life can be incredible, because you choose your self.
It all starts with you choosing to have a great relationship with yourself.
This does not have to be a secret anymore, go out and share it and see how the world around you changes.

Seems too simple doesn’t it? But, as an adult do you think we like to over complicate things a little? Yesterday I was asked to teach 500 little kids in the local school and... Yesterday I was asked to teach 500 little kids in the local school and it was incredible. We were silly and had way too much fun. I noticed children are so open and honest. The smallest little thing can excite them. At that age they want to investigate, learn and grow. At that age there are no limitations, they think they can do anything and they really can.
But as adults, we start putting self-imposed limitations on ourselves and think we are not good enough. Why do we think we are not good enough? Are we listening to someone’s ideas? Are you letting someone else write your story for you?
What about your dreams? Kids are not afraid to dream, and dream big! But, have you noticed that as adults we start to second guess ourselves? We hold back on even giving ourselves permission to dream. So, if you are holding back on a dream you have, even if it was just a childhood dream, I want you to give your self permission to look at life through the eyes of a child and let your self dream again.
Kids see everything as new and exciting and they aren’t worried about whether or not they are good enough to share with others.Children naturally want to share their stories with others, children naturally want to help others.
By just sharing your story and your experiences you can begin to help other people too.You don’t have to be perfect to help somebody else, you just have to be willing to take the risk.
I really think that your story can be a beautiful book, speech and even maybe could change people’s lives. Why not take the risk and grab the chance and go out there and inspire somebody else. It doesn’t have to be incredibly deep. I helped the little lady at the airport with her luggage, someone was watching and then decided to grab the wheelchair. Someone else noticed and stood up and offered his seat in first class to her. All those people who were involved in that random act of kindness, felt amazing. But if one person was afraid to reach out, the ripple effect would not have continued.
Just because we are adults doesn’t have to mean we are not able to let go and live like a child. Change your life. Reconsider all of your commitments, are you saying yes to all of them, and trying to please every body else all the time? You decide how you are going to live, you decide what choices you are going to make. Your story can inspire someone else. Your stories inspire me. Please keep sharing them!

And if not, let’s talk about that. Why you are not living the most incredible life? A lot of time we have blocks to our blessings because we have old stories playing in our mind. Or, One of the things I would really like to talk to you about is a taboo subject. That is money! A lot of people don’t think they should make money sharing their gifts. If you go to the doctor, you expect to pay for that service right? You have an education, whether it be through schooling and books, or through life experience. Why is it not okay for you to receive compensation for your knowledge? When you make money you can contribute. For example, you can further your education so you can learn more, so you can teach more. What is negative about that? How about being able to help out your family? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to share with the people you love? It’s in our nature to give, what a beautiful pay it forward. Stop worrying about the judgement, if you have a beautiful product and you want to sell it, sell it!
I talked you guys last week about the 6 Week Change Your Life Program. That is an amazing program, but it wasn’t free to make it. It cost a lot of money to make sure it was in a format that could be available online to anyone regardless of where they lived. Do you remember that couple who took the program and realized they were not living their dreams? They picked up and moved to their dream home. They are so happy, but they had no idea they were the one’s holding themselves back. So this program is about letting go of the excuses that you use to hold your self back.
That program was the catalyst! What would have happened if I did not feel comfortable charging for the course? I would not have had the funds to pay for the gifted people who work behind the scenes here. Just because other people might not know what is going on behind your scene doesn’t mean you should stop yourself from sharing. You deserve to be paid for your services. Don’t feel guilty, feel beautiful for sharing who you are.
Do you have any idea how much you could do for others if you allowed your self to open up and receive? There are no limits to what you can give to others, but you first have to be able to receive. Last week I went back to my old neighborhood because I wanted to give back to others. This Universe has given me so much that I was honored to have been given the opportunity to share just a little of that with others. I grew up in that neighborhood, that is where I came from and I honor all the experiences that made me who I am today.
Whatever choices people make, it doesn’t matter. What matters is, are you able to open your self up to others? When you make that shift and you open up your mind to receiving compensation for your service, you are then able to help so many more around you. Grab that opportunity to serve others who are not as fortunate as you may be right now.
And in order to take those opportunities you have to be willing to receive. It’s okay to charge for your services, it’s okay to share with others. There is a ripple effect even if we don’t always see it. You can earn money while helping others, you can do whatever you put your intention to. I can’t wait to see what you do next.

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.  

 
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.

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 h... 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,

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 t... 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.

Well, I suggest you do something […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://jodiebaudek.com/co-create-your-life-break-through-the-glass-ceiling/">Co-Create Your Life: Break Through The Glass Ceiling</a> appeared first on <a href="https://jodiebaudek.com">Jodie Baudek</a>.</p> How To Break Through The Glass Ceiling 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,

It means you are in control of your life. It means you are in control of your decisions.
 
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 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, 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.

Love, Laugh, Give and Dream Big. We are all destined for greatness but sometimes we don’t love our self enough, 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,

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.

You might doubt that it can be possible, but you are the one who gets to write your story. Things may seem challenging right now, If you choose to do things differently, maybe those overwhelming things won’t keep showing up for you.
This show is about how to make some changes.
When you are at home and feeling sad and blue, change your address. Does the mean I want you to move? No, I want you to get out of your space and go meet up with some people. Check out your community. Start networking. Start meeting incredible people and building amazing relationships.
Maybe you finances are not in order, is that a reflection of something else in your life? Are you eating to nourish and support your self.  Or are you nightly going and buying over priced fast foods? Are you eating when you are hungry or over eating out of boredom or sorrow?
Start doing things that can help and maintain your physical health. And focusing on being healthy does not have to mean hyper focusing on what might be “wrong” either. There are many different ways to get your self back in order.
Don’t be afraid to try something new.
It is so much easier to focus on the negative in life. But lets exert a little more energy and try to see what is right with your world. Get your self connected with those of like minds, with those who want to help others and help themselves.
Grab opportunities that you would not normally consider. What if that opportunity was a gift from the Universe and you turned it down? Challenge your self to get to the next level. The people you admire have something in common. They pushed themselves, they challenges themselves, and they did not give up.
In order to write the next best chapter of your life, take time out for you. You might change somebody’s life just by changing your own.
I challenge you to do something that scares you. Use that fear to motivate you to overcome your own self-imposed limitation. What are you goals? What are you grateful for? What is your action plan?
Let the Universe show up for you.
I believe in you, I really want you to believe in your self.

Depending on what season you are in, whether it be a season of your life, or the holidays, or wherever you are. A lot of times we can put enormous pressure […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://jodiebaudek.com/empowered-life-you-get-to-not-you-got-to/">Empowered Life: You “Get To”, Not You’ve “Got To”</a> appeared first on <a href="https://jodiebaudek.com">Jodie Baudek</a>.</p> The Empowered Life with Jodie Baudek: You Get To Not You Got To We have a tendency of putting so many expectations on ourselves.. especially during the Holiday months. We have to buy the perfect gifts, make the perfect food, buy the best outfit, and the list goes on and on. What is supposed to be a joyous time in your life has become a burden.
I want you to switch that thought in your mind and think …
“I get to” not “I have to”
It’s all comes down to you and how you think about things. If you just take a step back to take it all in, you get to see how happy you are in your own life. Flip you perspective and look at it this way. You get to do all of these things thanks to a healthy body, you get to pick out a new outfit, you get to eat amazing food, and you get the opportunity to spend time with people you may not see that often.
Everything is an opportunity. When you get to do all of these things, you get to live in a place of gratitude.
Living in a state of gratitude changes your quality of life.
Do you judge a book by the cover?

What is your journey?
The past is not to be used for blame. Change your story, in your mind. You learned, and you grew. There is something you took away from every single experience in your life. You are learning about yourself. You get to choose how you spend your time and what you do with your mind.
Is there something in your mind that takes over without you even knowing? You can stop it from growing and getting out of control.
Tell yourself that you are worthy and deserve all the blessings the world has to offer you.
Take yourself to a place of gratitude and watch what happens.
Make your story incredible. You choose your words, you choose your thoughts.
What happens when you start living from a place of gratitude?
Don’t forget to send in your comments.
I hope to hear from you.
Namaste,
Jodie Baudek

Today we discuss some easy ways to work on relationships that we often thought we couldn’t change, or make better.
What are some things that are interfering with you enjoying meaningful, fulfilling relationships with others?
Don’t we all start relationships with others for a certain reason? Unless it is immediate family when we are young, for the most part we choose the people we spend time with. How do you get back to that place where you were excited to be with those you care about? We can have an abundance of positive, supportive and encouraging relationships that can help us to move forward and appreciate this amazing life.
What is the most relationship that you have? The one with your self.
I also would like to share a little trick I use to live in a state of abundance, that was very easy and fun! Do you often think that having enough is beyond your means right now? You deserve to not only have an abundance of people who nurture you, you deserve to have abundance of wealth too.
What other areas do you need to work on? We are always evolving and growing. You can make little choices that help you to get where you want. You can you enjoy this journey that you are on.
Aren’t you worth it?
You need to allow your self to step into your greatness.
But you don’t need to do it alone. We have a community here you can tap into at any time. We have free webinars, blogs, radio programs, youtube tv episodes all created with you in mind.
Namaste,

No, you get to. You get to do all those things. You woke up this morning and that means this world is not done with you.
You have a gift and you get to share your gift.
That gift is… you.
If you don’t take care of you, there is not going to be enough of you to go around. You might become resentful, physically tired, depressed and physically ill, because you are not taking care of you.
I want you to choose you, that is not ego, that is not selfish, that is a necessity.
Often times it is masked because we put ourselves in the background. We think that we are doing so much for everyone else, and we may even feel great about it, but what are you really doing for you? Are you having self-care, are you really take care of you? Are you meditating, are you walking, are you nurturing your soul?
I also want to talk to you about something else that is really going to make you choose you.
Ask for a little help.
Whatever you believe in, if you believe in God, Buddha, He or She, Universe, or Higher Power, it doesn’t matter what name you put to it. I will just use Universe so everything is covered.  Ask the Universe to help you clean house. And you are going to be surprised as to what happens after you ask for just a little help.
You see what you focus on is what you think about, it is what you bring about. It’s pretty much the law of attraction. But, if you are focusing on things or relationships that are draining, and you don’t realize they are draining, they just keep taking up your energy and taking up a lot of your time. If it doesn’t nurture your soul, is it good for you? Maybe it could be a relationship, a job, a habit or even a certain workout routine that just isn’t serving you anymore. Now, it is time for you to ask the Universe to help you clean house.
 
You are going to realize that once the Universe steps in and you get out of your own way, that really has your back.  You were meant to be happy: You were put here to be happy.
But, sometimes we get complacent with our lives. We can get caught up helping someone else fix their life so we don’t have to deal with our own life.
You were meant to be happy.
Once you start to let go of what is not serving you… you choose you.
You are going to be amazed and surprised, once those things leave, you will notice that you have room for more opportunities.
Get real aware of how strong the law of attraction is. Be aware of how you can set your intention to what you want.
Get out of your own way.
Don’t self sabotage.
You are worth it.
You have to choose you.
You might just be surprised.
 
Namaste,
