She has a passion for health, wellness, parenting, and homemaking, She is super passionate about parenting and raising her children to love the Lord, as well as raising children that are enjoyable to be around.
The idea behind her book (“The Whole & Healthy Family”) was wanting to do parenting well and really thrive in it. She knew she wasn’t ready to write it until she had some success stories. She wanted to be able to look back and say “we made it through these early years (that I like to refer back to as the trenches) and this is what worked and this is what didn’t" and just be able to share a bit of that now. She also writes curriculum for creative and artistic learning in a homeschool environment.
Listen today as Jodi talks about health in the home, parenting teens, our relationship with technology, building and balancing family culture and navigating smartphones with children in the home. Jodi and her husband, Jason, are being so proactive and intentional in how they are handling their teen relationships and parenting them. They have a lifestyle that is inspiring! It shows the power that can come when you’re intentional in every little aspect of your life. There isn’t a detail that is too small to fixate on when it comes to your family and the operations of the home.

| 0:00.0 | I do think a lot of like you said, relationship like there's themes that go across the whole Bible |
| 0:05.5 | just like there's themes that go across all the parenting, right? And mom had this amazing |
| 0:09.6 | parental discovery when we were younger and I've adopted it as a parent myself, |
| 0:15.9 | but they prayed every day when we were children that we would be caught for everything that we did. |
| 0:22.0 | Natural consequences are absolutely the best consequence. I don't think your children's |
| 0:28.4 | characters are going to be molded by rules. I've never said this on a podcast before so |
| 0:33.6 | we parent in their early years like on an old testament level and then on the later years |
| 0:40.1 | it's more of like a new testament level like it's more personal, it's more grace-based, |
| 0:45.1 | it's more relational and the old testament is kind of more like rule driven. There's a purpose |
| 0:51.2 | for that, there's a foundation being built so that they can then thrive in this relational |

| 1:25.4 | proactive and intentional and how they're handling their teen relationships and parenting them |
| 1:30.2 | and technology like I already mentioned and literature and education in their home and then |
| 1:35.2 | just overall lifestyle. Jody and her husband have a lifestyle that is just really inspiring. It |
| 1:40.3 | shows I think the power that can come when you're intentional in every little aspect of your life. |
| 1:45.6 | There really isn't like a detail that's too small to fixate on when it comes to your family |
| 1:51.0 | and the home and the operations of a home. So who is Jody? I'm going to read you a brief |
