Hi. I’m Jody.
Relationships are messy. Complicated. And sometimes they break your heart in ways you never saw coming.
I know this firsthand.
One of my most important relationships ended unexpectedly, and it sent me on a journey to discover what healthy relationships — God’s way — actually look like. What I found changed everything.
I spent years trying harder and hoping for the best. What I didn’t realize was that God had a better plan.
When I began to understand who I was in Him and put my relationship with Him first, something shifted. My other relationships started to change too. Not overnight — but in ways that were real and lasting.
I wanted to share what I was learning, so I started writing. And I quickly discovered I wasn’t alone.
So many of us are quietly wondering what we’re doing wrong and how to make things right with the people we love most.
I went back to grad school at 50 (yes, 50), earned my M.A. in Pastoral Care and Counseling, and have now been walking alongside people through all kinds of relationship struggles and challenges for over 16 years.
Today, I serve as the Counseling Director for Seacoast Church in Encinitas, California, where I continue to see how God shows up in the most unexpected ways when people are willing to try something new.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
I’m still on this journey too — and I’d love for you to join me. Because the joy God has waiting on the other side of healthy relationships? It’s so much better than we’ve imagined.
Let’s discover it together.
