PureReinvention Podcast 057

Jodi Parker got so busy doing things for others that she stopped making time for herself. Have you been there?

Jodi is a graphic design specialist at Martin Waymire, a busy mom and wife, and a Greater Lansing Area Sports Hall of Fame inductee. In this episode, Jodi talks to us about a major turning point that made her re-examine her goals and the steps she was taking (or not taking) to achieve them.

QUOTE IT
“I suddenly found that I was nowhere near where I expected to be at this point in my life.” (6:50)

“If you don’t take time you might not ever realize that there is a problem.” (9:12)

DIG IN
Around 8:50 Jodi shares an important reinvention lesson she learned from participating in our WE.INVENT collective. She says it makes her feel like she has her mojo back!

Don’t let those dead ends deter you. At 10:50 Jodi has some stellar advice for finding a way through when you’re doing something new and hit a wall.

TAKEAWAYS
1 - Give yourself permission to take time for your own personal strategic planning.
2 - Perform status checks to make sure you’re heading in the direction you want to go.
3 - Reframe how you value your time; it’s not about how long something takes, it’s more about what you get out of it.
4 - When trying to do something new, seek out new contacts that can provide different perspectives outside of your tried-and-true network.
5 - Trust in the process when faced with unknowns
