Change is a constant thing in life - it happens around you and to you as well. Join Jody & Alex as they discuss some of the many, many changes that they have faced individually and together.

Along the way they'll share some of the practices they've used to embrace these changes instead of resisting them.

Join Jody and Alex today as they discuss the importance of sleep in your self-love practice and share stories about their time when good sleep was a distant memory.

Beyond tired, beyond exhausted, there are layers of sleep deprivation where all you can do is just survive. Sleep plays a huge role in your life, so look to sleep with love and treat it as the single-most important aspect of your self-love and self-care.

Jody & Alex have already talked about some of their own challenges, and today they want to share how those same challenges are affecting their kids.

Sometimes we forget that in addition to whatever our children are going through, they are also experiencing challenges that you are going through too - even though we may not think that they are.

Today is all about challenges - even ones like getting this podcast recorded and uploaded on time!

Join Jody & Alex as they talk about challenges, sharing stories about their own struggles - both as a couple and as their own selves. Along the way they'll also talk about what they did (or are currently doing) to meet these challenges and rise above them, with love.

On this week's podcast Jody and Alex share about their experiences with depression. Although Alex talks about his multiple bouts of anxiety and depression both before and after meeting Jody, the important take-away is that whatever you are going through stay strong and ask for help.

Listen to your gut, talk to a close friend, find what you need to move through what you are going through - keep looking until you find it and don't give up! We're here for you too!

Remember that when you are in that darkness, that is when you need help the most...and asking for help can be the most empowering thing you can do for yourself - it can change your life!

Something new and exciting on today's podcast!

Today Jody shares some more backstory of the day she met Alex - and wouldn't you know it (but without spoiling it here) - Yoga played a big part in their chance meeting!

So listen in as the story unfolds from a schedule change, to an opportunity to try something new, to just saying "Yes" to the things that light you up, and not letting your fears or thoughts hold you back from what you are really meant to do.

Try something new today - you might surprise yourself and realize "Oh man, why didn't I do this sooner?!"

It's a new year and we're back with a new podcast! Today we talk about and share some stories around how we met, when and how we "officially" became a couple and a few other personal tidbits this Valentine's Day.

So please join us as we get a bit cute and share an important take-away about persistence, about showing the Universe that you are serious about something by putting yourself out there! Whether it's love or another aspect of your life, manifestation of that desire starts with a leap of faith.
