Hello everyone. Thank you for joining me! Here we are kicking off the week of Valentine’s Day. We are celebrating one of my favorite things: LOVE! Remember this holiday is not only about romantic love. Although I do have a goal to be in partnership this year, this day is intended to bring our attention and awareness to all the relationships in which we share love; that could be family members, friends, colleagues, team members, you name it. Be sure to spread the love this week as a kickoff to showing appreciation and gratitude for those you love throughout the year. I had a few experiences recently in which I felt loved in this community and in the work that I do. In one day I received emails from three different women in this community and let me tell you, I felt tightness in my chest and had watery eyes with each one. I got permission to share their emails on the podcast because I thought what they shared might be helpful to you as well. How I've received love from this community The first one was from Karen. “Hi Jodi! I have been on fire since completing the tolerations detox. Still much to be done, but I am blasting through barriers!  My New Year’s resolution is 4 words... be good to yourself. :) Thanks for all you do! Please feel free to use me as a reference or testimonial! Have a great weekend!” That was pretty sweet and then this email from Kathy came within the hour: “Guess what?! I finally put on my big girl pants and decided to face my financial distraction. Knowing my credit is in bad shape, I neglect viewing my credit report. I finally did it! And while yes my credit score is bad, it's a pretty small amount of money to clean it up! I felt both ashamed and encouraged when I realized that and made a plan to tackle it! Yeah!” In my response I did address with Kathy the shame piece. With so much progress why feel ashamed? I suggested she focus on the feeling of relief that her credit score could be easily restored and she agreed that felt much better. Lastly I received this email from Ashley and I want to use this to springboard the topic for today: “I feel really different lately. Not quite what I would call enlightened, but I've definitely turned a corner. I feel GRACEFUL! :D I don't put my foot in my mouth - as much. ;) I have patience; I’m grateful, calm when needed, though I’m still so full of energy! I take time to really focus on people when they speak to me. I find myself making sure I’ve worded the email correctly before i just hit send, all willy-nilly. I feel like I can see how my love and light are touching the hearts of the people I interact with. I’m having deep conversations with strangers - well, rather than, ‘this weather sucks’, it’s more like, ‘I love how we get time to slow down when it snows!’ I remember back when I started on this path, 18ish months ago. I wrote something in an email to you about how I wanted to be like you. And you responded that I already was. I couldn’t see then what you meant, but now I do. Greatness is in all of us! We've just been told that we weren't good at x, or we failed at z, and are subconsciously afraid to try it again. I'm not sure what exactly I'm trying to say here. I have this question... I might as well share it; maybe you're the person who can answer it?? What is the simplest way to get someone from not seeing how wonderful they are to realizing their true potential? Ha! That is such a big question. And I'd venture a guess that the answer is different for all of us. I've noticed that being present is pretty important. Maybe it's #1. You're tapped into this line of thought... What are your thoughts on the subject?” How do you get people to see their full potential? Oh Ashley, you just hit on the work that I do. This is exactly the journey I take my clients on; from not seeing themselves to recognizing and owning how amazing and talented they already are. From there, their relationships begin to change in a good way. And they begin leaning into and leveraging all
