Hi,
I'm JoDee
I know what it’s like to walk through burnout, doubt, and change — and to come out the other side with clarity, confidence, and resilience. My story is one of becoming, and today it’s my greatest joy to walk alongside others in their own Becoming Zone.
Let me introduce myself and share a little about who I am.
​
I’m JoDee — wife to my soulmate Glenn, mom and step-mom to three amazing adults, grandma to seven beautiful grandchildren, and pet-parent to a tiny, blind fur-ball named Millie. I feel most at home near water and hold a deep wanderlust to see more of the world. Family, love, and meaningful connection ground me — and they continue to inspire the work I do every day.
​​
Professionally, I work as a transformational coach, grounded in a Master’s in Social Work (Clinical Specialization) and over 20 years of experience in counseling, teaching, and leadership. My work bridges clinical insight with practical tools for growth, helping individuals navigate transition with clarity, courage, and self-trust.
​
My journey into coaching and speaking began with my own lived experience of burnout. After years of striving, over-giving, and saying yes to everything, I became over-responsible — carrying more than was mine to hold and living without balance. Eventually, I reached a point of deep exhaustion. I felt emotionally drained, disconnected from myself, and weighed down by the constant voice of my inner critic. For a long time, I tried to push through — until I couldn’t anymore.
It started
with me
It was time to face my fears, confront the stagnation and burnout I had been carrying, and reclaim authorship over my life. With one small step forward, I began to take action — transforming fear into momentum. With the support of my own coach, I entered a season of deep introspection and growth, rediscovering my inner strength and reawakening a sense of purpose I had long buried.
​​
Through that process, I re-aligned with a truer, more grounded version of myself. I cultivated a deeper self-awareness and a more compassionate relationship with my own inner world. Inspired by this transformation, I stepped into the work I now do — holding space for others as they navigate their own seasons of change and becoming.
​
That was the beginning of my Becoming Zone.
​
I came to understand that transformation doesn’t happen in a single leap. It unfolds in the sacred stretch between who we were and who we are beginning to become. In the messy middle of change, I learned to notice the voice of my inner critic, grieve old patterns, release limiting beliefs, and re-imagine who I wanted to be. It wasn’t easy. It was tender, unfamiliar, and at times unsettling. But it was also where clarity, confidence, and resilience began to take root.
​
Along the way, I developed what I now call The SHIFT Cycle — a story-shifting framework designed to help people move from automatic reaction to conscious creation. Because when we change the meaning we make, we change the actions we take — and that changes the life we build.
​
At its core, the SHIFT Cycle does two things:
​
-
Interrupts default reaction patterns, and
-
Creates space for conscious story-shifting and soul-aligned action.
It guides you from trigger to transformation — helping you re-author your inner narratives, reclaim your personal power, and step forward with greater intention and self-trust.
My Healing Became My Transformation
And my transformation became my calling.
​​
Today, I guide women, helping professionals, and leaders through their own seasons of transition — holding space with courage, compassion, and curiosity. Whether through one-to-one coaching, workshops, or speaking, my mission remains the same: to remind you that it starts with you.
​
Because when you embrace that truth, everything shifts.
I believe that true change begins from within.
