More Jody is a podcast for women who know they were made for more — but are tired of performing strength, pushing through burnout, and pretending they’re fine. This is a space for honest conversations about identity, faith, the nervous system, ambition, and what it really takes to build a life that fits the season you’re in. Through personal stories, reflections, and real-life tools, host Jody invites you out of hustle and into truth — so you can stop running on empty and start living with clarity, regulation, and intention. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to tell the truth. This is a space for honest conversations, deep questions, and choosing a life that actually fits. Less striving. More truth. More Jody.

    #95 Presence Over Progress: Leadership for Hard Seasons

    What does leadership look like when you’re exhausted, grieving, and stuck in the middle of life? In this episode, I talk about learning to lead yourself when everything feels heavy—when winter feels endless, grief lives in your body, and momentum feels impossible. I share how this season of loss and the reality of the sandwich generation has reshaped the way I think about independence, success, and faith. We talk about teaching teens real leadership—not hustle or control, but self-trust, emotional regulation, and the ability to pivot without quitting. I unpack how to listen to your body without letting your feelings run the show, why emotions are real but not always truthful, and how redefining success can change everything in hard seasons. I also share a different way of talking about God—one that leaves room for broken hallelujahs, quiet faith, and simple prayers like, “God, would You hold me today?” This is an episode about staying present instead of forcing progress, leading yourself when life feels stuck, and trusting that God is still at work in the quiet seasons. If you’re raising teens, navigating midlife, caring for people on both ends of the age spectrum, or just trying to make it through the day without losing yourself—this conversation is for you.

    #94 Protecting Your Energy with Samaya Holmes

    This time of year hits differently. The days are darker, the to-do lists feel heavier, and even the most capable among us are wondering why our energy just isn’t what it used to be. In this episode, we’re talking about energy—what’s actually happening in our bodies when we crash, why winter makes everything feel harder, and how to move through low-energy seasons with more compassion and support. We dig into what to watch for when your energy dips, what those crashes are trying to tell you, and practical ways to get through them without pushing harder or burning out. I’m joined by Samaya Holmes, nutritionist and co-owner of Nanaimo’s Health Shop, who brings over 25 years of experience in the wellness industry to this conversation. With a background in psychology and nutrition, Samaya has spent decades helping people understand their bodies, their hormones, and their energy—especially when life feels demanding or out of balance. We also zoom out beyond ourselves—because women don’t live in a vacuum. We talk about the energy shifts showing up in our husbands and teens, and why understanding their rhythms can change the tone of your whole household. If you’ve been feeling tired, discouraged, or like your body is speaking a language you don’t fully understand—this conversation is for you.

    #93 This Is the Whole Point — Your Life as It Is

    This episode wasn’t planned — it was lived. After a strange, emotionally distant day that ended in quiet tears, I found myself sitting in the tension so many of us carry: exhaustion and gratitude, pressure and purpose, grief and deep thankfulness — all at once. This conversation is the why behind vision planning. Not the hustle version. Not the “new year, new you” version. But the honest, integrated kind that starts with real life — sick kids, messy houses, aging seasons, demanding work, and a faith that anchors instead of pressures. In this episode, I talk about: what happens when your life stops fitting into neat compartmentswhy exhaustion doesn’t mean your cup is emptyhow pressure is often self-appliedwhat actually matters when you zoom out ten yearsand how to begin creating a life vision that holds you steady instead of pushing you harderI’ll walk you through a simple, future-focused way to think about your life — your relationships, health, work, finances, and faith — and invite you to choose them on purpose. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about seeing clearly. If you’re feeling full, tired, stretched, grateful, overwhelmed — or all of the above — this episode is for you.

    #92 If You Feel Behind in Life, Listen to This

    This episode is not a tidy beginning — it’s an honest middle. In this deeply personal conversation, I’m sharing what happened when I sat down to write my life vision for 2026 and realized the version of life I had been building no longer fit the season I’m in. What started as a simple planning exercise became a reckoning with ambition, identity, scarcity, rest, and the cost of always adding more. I talk openly about what it looks like to graduate from an old vision, the difference between activation and sustainability, and how building from output instead of from the body eventually leads to depletion — not freedom. We explore why rest is not a reward but medicine, how scarcity disguises itself as productivity, and what happens when your identity is wrapped up in doing instead of being. Most of all, this episode is about returning to God stripped down — asking who we are beneath the goals, the plans, and the pressure to perform — and choosing honesty over hustle as the foundation for the year ahead. If you’re starting this year feeling scattered, tired, behind, or unsure of who you even are anymore… you are not alone. This is an invitation into the unwrapping. Into fewer things, done with intention. Into faith before striving. Into identity before outcomes. You’re welcome here — right in the middle.

    #90 The Low-Tox Makeover That Will Change Your Skin, Your Hormones, and Your Home

    If you’ve ever wondered why your skin reacts to “gentle” products or why your home suddenly feels… heavy, this episode is your wake-up call. Today on the More Jody Podcast, we’re breaking down how to detox your home in simple, realistic ways that actually make you feel better — without fear, overwhelm, or throwing out everything you own. Most of us grew up trusting big brands because everyone used them. But when you start looking closer, you realize that “safe enough to sell” doesn’t always mean safe for you. So in this episode, we’re keeping it light and practical. No endless lists of chemicals and no diving into food today — just affordable swaps for skincare, deodorant, laundry, dry hands and feet, and the face oil that became my holy grail. If you want your home, hormones, and skin to feel lighter and healthier without spending a fortune, this one’s for you. Let’s get into it.
