Today's chat is a little reflection on last year's conference, looking forward to next year's event, and a lot of gratitude to all of YOU!

Jodi has often been described as a leader with a big heart who lives with integrity and always finds ways to help others rise. In 2021, Jodi left her corporate job managing a law firm of 21 years to dive into guiding others through teaching meditation and mindfulness. She became a certified Meditation & Mindfulness Instructor through the McLean Meditation Institute, and is now the owner and founder of Big Heart Meditation and Mindfulness, LLC.

Compassion, love and kindness have been instrumental keys in Jodi’s success, and with her meditation and mindfulness teaching, she’s created a ripple of peace in the Midwest. She’s worked with college students on a weekly basis with in-person guided meditation for five semesters. She’s guided hundreds of college students in group meditations during their Freshman Seminar Series every year and has merged her collegiate coaching experience of 12 years, with her meditation and mindfulness teaching to enhance their mindset for athletes in performance/game. This includes hosting weekly recordings and group sessions with collegiate athletic teams.

Jodi is a wife, mother, sister, mentor, manager, daughter, coach, colleague and friend. You will find she is probably a lot like you! She was living a beyond busy life and was always doing…never really being in the moment. That all changed in 2016 when she attended a meditation workshop! She went on a path of self-discovery and self-love!
