It Starts With You
Every transformation begins within. “It Starts With You” isn’t just the title of my signature talk — it’s the philosophy that anchors every message I share.
​
Through storytelling, reflection, and practical tools, I guide audiences to see that when we change the meaning we make, we change the actions we take — and ultimately, the life we build.
​
At the heart of this message are two guiding frameworks:
The Becoming Zone — the sacred, messy middle where old identities loosen and new truths begin to take shape — and
The SHIFT Cycle — a story-shifting framework that helps people move from automatic reaction to conscious creation.
JoDee speaks to those who:
Feel stuck between who they were and who they’re becoming.
Are tired of holding it all together but afraid to let go.
Wonder if lasting transformation is possible.
Lead with strength but quietly question if they’re “enough.”
Want to break cycles of self-doubt and lead from truth, not perfection.
Are navigating personal or professional transitions and longing for clarity, confidence, and balance.
Signature Topics:
While “It Starts With You” anchors my speaking philosophy, each presentation is tailored to the audience. My signature topics include:
The Becoming Zone:
The sacred stretch between what was and what’s next — where old stories loosen, new growth begins, and grief becomes part of the journey.
The SHIFT Cycle:
A story-shifting framework for conscious change — helping participants examine thought patterns, interrupt self-judgment, and choose aligned action.
Resilience from Within:
This session helps participants rethink resilience - not as pushing through, but as returning to what matters, with clarity and self-compassion.
Each topic can stand alone as a keynote or be woven together to create a deeply transformative experience for your audience.
