MMP114 - Be an Agent of Change with Jodi Delaney

What a delight to share this episode with my friend and philanthropy superstar Jodi Delaney. We discuss her work in the nonprofit world and how you can leverage purpose in life to manage life transitions and come out the best version of yourself, again and again. We summarize our discussion with 8 powerful mantras that will help you feel renewed energy and get on the path to being a powerful agent of change. Mantra : The nonprofit world is a place for your heart. See Jodi's heart place, the Television Academy Foundation. (LINK) See my heart place, Nurture (LINK) Mantra : We are all capable of being agents of change. Mantra : We have an opportunity to make a choice in finding our purpose. Some steps to do so include finding space, grounding, moving the body, practicing radical self-care and getting involved in a purpose-aware community. Jodi mentions her involvement with Modern Elders Academy (LINK). Mantra : The "pleasure" of finding purpose in life is renewed, invigorated energy, and a sense of having an important place in the world. Mantra : The "pain" of not finding purpose is staying "asleep", unaware of the lessons to be learned and the possibility of not having a life legacy that makes your heart sing. Mantra : Learn through the "six S's of grief": silence, swirl, shame, survival, surrender, and shower. Mantra : (If you are a woman or a man with a woman), Beware of the "seven dwarfs of menopause": itchy, bitchy, sweaty, bloaty, sleepy, forgetful, pyscho. Mantra : You don't have to be in the "messy-middle" alone. Jodi loves to support others in the world of philanthropy, environmental conservation, and economic development.
