April 20, 2018 22:53 - 39 minutes - 54 MBMost people confuse control with only those who control nations, big corporations, and armies as being controlling. The reality is that all of us can and are controlling. Control is the opposite of freedom. And freedom allows us to connect. Control is the manifestation of disconnection.

And we certainly cannot control anything...

Episode 81: Family Dynamics–Rules & Roles
March 22, 2018 19:12 - 56 minutes - 77.7 MBJodi explains how the dynamics of our childhood family relationships create our understanding of our rules and roles throughout our lives. By being aware of the rules and roles you were taught in childhood, you can be honest and Truthful—by recognizing what rules and roles are in Truth and which are in distortion.

Episode 75: Parenting–Emotional Development in Children
March 16, 2018 19:02 - 44 minutes - 60.5 MBJodi explains the physical, emotional and spiritual needs children have. As those needs are met and they are taught to progressively meet their needs for themselves, they will very naturally develop into emotionally connected, responsible adults.

Episode 73: Selfishness
March 14, 2018 19:03 - 1 hour - 100 MBWhat is selfishness? What causes it? Why do so many of us struggle to let go of our self-focused attitudes and habits? And why is selfishness on the rise in the 21st century? In this two-episode series, Jodi breaks down the topic of selfishness: what it is, where it comes from, and how to shift out of it. Selfishness is NOT an intentional attitude for us as humans. When we behave selfishly, it's not that we are bad people, or that we are trying to be rude, unfriendly, or mean. It's not tha...
Episode 72: Parenting–Teaching the Power of Choice
March 13, 2018 19:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBIn this episode Jodi explains why it is so important to teach your children about the power and responsibility of their choices. The pattern of choice and outcome / consequence is the most powerful way we learn as humans. Our choices and their outcomes have the power to teach us to empathize, connect, and develop depth and love. If this pattern of choice and consequence is interrupted (i.e. by co-dependency or care-taking), children are handicapped in the process of learning to empathize. T...

Episode 70: Motives
March 11, 2018 18:57 - 51 minutes - 70.3 MBWhat drives you? What gets you out of bed in the morning? What is behind the choices you make during the day? What do you do when you feel strong emotion? Do you bury it? Shut it down? Express it? Blame others with it? How emotionally connected are you? Are you aware of your motives? Do you know what you're feeling? Many, many of us are detached (disconnected) from the power of our emotions, and thus, we do not have access to our motives—we are unaware of them! In this podcast, Jodi explai...
Episode 69: Protective Gift of Enmity (Anger)
March 10, 2018 19:56 - 1 hour - 84.9 MBMost of us probably wouldn't classify anger & enmity (opposition / hostility) as a gift or as a connecting strategy. However, anger is INCREDIBLY important! When you disconnect, you go numb, and your energy and power to defend, fight for, advocate for, and defend yourself, your family, your children—is GONE! You have a responsibility to 1) reconnect with your God-given gift of anger, and 2) use it wisely and responsibly, to protect, defend and boundary—and NOT to harm or destroy. This podc...

March 09, 2018 19:55 - 1 hour - 100 MBYou've probably heard the phrase "You shouldn't judge" before.

In Reality, we each must judge. The ability to judge between alternatives and make sound judgments is a s...

The process of checking in gives you the opportunity to know whether or not you are connected, and to shift quickly out of distortion and into connection. In this episode, Jodi finishes teaching about the chec...
