About Jody

Jody is a proud optimist who has been life coaching for nine years and teaching for 23. She felt misinformed by society that to be successful in life, she had to be in hustle/masculine energy all the time. Yet, when she adopted a feminine slow-down lifestyle and mindset, her entrepreneurial skills started to ramp up. During this slower time, she transitioned fully to coaching and teaching self-awareness tools, and in three months, she had doubled the income of her teacher’s salary while living a happier, healthier, more flexible, harmonized life and working 50% of the time! That’s when the Pink and Blue Solution came through (which has been transposed into a book), and now she coaches people to use it in their lives.
