Love After Loss: Parenting, Grief, and Finding Joy Again17 Mar 202601:14:19
Today’s conversation is one that so many families live, but few know how to put into words.
I’m sitting down with my friend Ryann Cummings Kamphaus with Grace In Motion: Health & Wellness Coaching -- to talk about grief, parenting, and what it looks like to find joy again after loss.
Both Ryann and her husband now, Zach, lost their spouses while raising children. What followed wasn’t just a love story — it was the blending of two families, each carrying their own grief, their own memories, and their own healing.
In this episode, we talk about what it means to honor the parents who came before while building something new, how grief shows up in children in different ways, and how love and joy can exist alongside loss.
This conversation is tender, honest, and deeply human — and I’m so grateful Ryann was willing to share her heart and her story.
If you’re walking through grief, blending a family, or trying to hold both pain and hope at the same time… this episode is for you.

Healing Your Inner Child: Trauma, Triggers & Reparenting Yourself | With Greg Ferguson | Part Two03 Mar 202601:17:08

In Part Two of this powerful conversation with couples therapist Greg Ferguson of Deer Creek Counseling, we go deeper.

This episode is about healing.

We explore how childhood wounds, attachment injuries, and unresolved trauma show up in our marriages, our parenting, and our blended families — often without us realizing it.

If you’ve ever thought:

“Why does this trigger me so much?”

“Why do I react bigger than the moment requires?”

“Why do I feel like a younger version of myself during conflict?”


This conversation is for you.


Greg walks us through:

• What “reparenting yourself” actually means

• How trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) show up in relationships

• Why blended families can activate deeper emotional triggers

• How to differentiate between a current conflict and an old wound

• What healing realistically looks like

• How to break generational cycles so you can parent differently

This episode isn’t just about awareness — it’s about responsibility, growth, and creating emotional safety inside your marriage and your home.

Part One of this conversation focused on marriage communication, connection, and repair. If you haven’t listened to that yet, start there.


Greg is currently accepting new clients.

Meet My Co-Mother | The Bio Mom Episode Part 114 Oct 202501:17:25

Today I sit down with my boys’ biological mom, Kelly Rush, and we’re taking you back to the beginning — the misunderstandings, the tensions, and the messy middle of our co-parenting journey.

We talk openly about first impressions, early conflicts, and what it felt like to share motherhood in our tense seasons. It wasn’t easy, and we don’t sugarcoat it. But even in the hardest parts, there were small shifts that laid the groundwork for where we are today.

This is an honest, vulnerable look at what happens when two moms love the same kids — and why surrendering to the uncomfortable moments is often the first step toward healing. And stay tuned, because this is just Part 1.  This conversation was too big for one episode.  In Part 2, we spill the tea on the conversation that changed everything.

GYG -- What Rest Really Means (Spoiler: It's Not Just Sleep)09 Oct 202500:04:26

In this Give Yourself Grace drop, we’re unpacking the truth about rest. It’s not just about getting more sleep—it’s about giving your body, mind, and heart the kind of pause they’re actually craving. From mental and emotional rest to creative and spiritual rest, this is your reminder that exhaustion isn’t always about bedtime—it’s about balance.

Two Hats, One Heart: Chad the Dad’s Point of View as Dad and Stepdad07 Oct 202501:05:33

Where my dad's at?  In this episode of Co-Parenting with Grace, I sit down with my friend Chad Mitchell, a dad who knows what it’s like to wear both hats—bio dad and stepdad. Chad has been an insurance agent for 15 years, a dad for 23 years, and a stepdad for nearly 15. When he and his wife Cari blended their families, their children were the same age and even went to the same school—a unique start to a journey filled with both challenges and blessings.

Chad grew up in a traditional nuclear family,  and he shares how that foundation shaped his approach to fatherhood while also learning to adapt to the realities of a blended family. With faith, positivity, and a lot of heart, he reminds us that being a parent—step or bio—isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance the roles of step-parenting and parenting, or if you need encouragement to keep showing up in your blended family, this conversation is for you.

GYG -- When You Feel Like the "Extra"02 Oct 202500:02:46

In this Give Yourself Grace drop, we’re naming the quiet ache of feeling like the “extra” parent. You may not be the first or the legal parent, but your presence, love, and consistency matter more than you realize. You’re not extra—you’re essential.

Chin up.  T!ts out.  Red lipstick on.  You've got this!

Is Legal Always Logical? — An Attorney’s View on Child Support, Custody, and What’s Right for the Kids30 Sep 202501:28:19

What the law says doesn’t always line up with what makes sense in real life—especially when it comes to co-parenting. In this episode, I sit down with Missouri-based family law attorney and small-town pastor Craig Ritchie to unpack the legal side of custody, parenting plans, child support, and more. With over 30 years of experience in the courtroom—and personal experience as a biological and stepfather himself—Craig offers clear, grounded insight for parents trying to navigate the system without losing their peace. We talk about 50/50 custody, who pays what and why, what judges really look for, and how to stay steady when the legal feels anything but logical.

Note: This conversation is based on Missouri law. If you’re in another state, be sure to consult a local attorney for guidance specific to your case.

GYG - A Gratitude Journal For YOU25 Sep 202500:03:37

This Give Yourself Grace episode is about turning gratitude inward. Instead of only noticing what others do for you, take time to honor the good in yourself—the strength, patience, and growth you bring to each day.

Villainous Stepmother? Or Leading Lady? — My Take on the Complexities of Step-Motherhood23 Sep 202500:26:27

We grew up on Disney stories where stepmothers were painted as wicked, cruel, and downright evil. No wonder so many of us stepped into this role carrying cultural baggage we didn’t even realize was there. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to live out the villain script.


In this episode, I’m breaking down the real struggles stepmoms face—feeling invisible, powerless, or like an outsider in your own home—and why those challenges don’t define you. We’ll talk about the “Nacho” method, boundaries, emotional labor, and even those pesky Disney stereotypes. And most importantly, we’ll reframe what it means to be a bonus parent: not a stand-in, not “less than,” but the leading lady of your own story.


This one is for every step-parent who’s ever wondered if their role matters. Spoiler alert: It does. More than you think.

In this Give Yourself Grace drop, we're reframing boundaries.  Saying no or protecting your peace isn't cruel -- it's courageous.  Boundaries are clarity, kindness, and grace in action.

Signed, Anxiously Attached — A Psychologist’s View on How Anxiety & Trauma Show Up in Co-Parenting Dynamics16 Sep 202501:11:40

How do you know if you’re anxious—or just tired, overstimulated, and doing too much?

In this episode, I sit down with psychologist, author, TEDx speaker, and co-founder of Peak Mind -- Dr. Ashley Smith.  We talk about the misunderstood reality of anxiety—especially for parents and co-parents navigating high-stress dynamics.   She challenges audiences to master their minds. Born with a rare vision impairment, she knows firsthand what it takes to break limits and live boldy—and now teaches others how to do the same.

We dive into:

  • The difference between stress and anxiety
  • What anxiety looks like in moms vs. dads
  • How our brains get wired into anxious patterns
  • The connection between anxiety, trauma, and other disorders like depression and PTSD
  • And how co-parenting stress can make it all feel even heavier

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder—or you’ve just been “holding it together” for so long you forgot what calm feels like—this episode will help you understand yourself and your partner in a whole new light.

Compassion starts with awareness. And today, we’re pulling back the curtain on what anxiety really is.

Marriage Communication, Repair & Emotional Safety | Couples Therapy with Greg Ferguson24 Feb 202601:16:55

In this powerful and honest conversation, Jodi sits down with therapist Greg Ferguson, founder of Deer Creek Counseling, to talk about marriage — connection, repair, communication, and what it really takes to build emotional safety.

Greg has been part of Jodi’s personal counseling journey for over five years and has also worked with Jodi and her husband in couples therapy. In this episode, he shares practical tools and insights from years of working with families and couples navigating conflict, attachment styles, and the pressures of blended family life.

While this episode isn’t directly about co-parenting, the truth is this: strong co-parenting starts with a strong partnership. Everything discussed here — communication patterns, repair after conflict, emotional regulation, and understanding attachment — directly impacts how we show up in our homes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why couples get stuck in repetitive arguments

• What “healthy repair” actually looks like

• How attachment styles influence conflict

• Practical tools to de-escalate tough conversations

• What emotional safety really means in marriage

Greg is currently accepting new clients.

Part Two of this conversation — focused on trauma, triggers, and reparenting yourself — will be released next week.

Intentional Fatherhood: Growing Up Split, Raising Rock Steady09 Sep 202501:09:37

Greg Aldridge is a third-generation insurance agent, powerhouse speaker, and father of two—but before all that, he was a kid caught in the middle of divorce. In this powerful episode, Greg opens up about how his childhood shaped him—and how he made the conscious decision to parent differently.


We talk about the long-term impact divorce can have on a child’s emotional landscape, how it shows up in adult relationships, and what it means to build something steady when you weren’t raised with it. Greg’s story is a masterclass in intentional fatherhood, personal responsibility, and breaking generational patterns with grace.


Whether you’re co-parenting, step-parenting, or just trying to heal from your own upbringing—this one’s for you.

In this Give Yourself Grace episode, we’re reminding ourselves that healing isn’t a straight line. Some days feel like leaps forward, others like steps back—and that’s okay. Progress is still progress, even when it’s messy.

In The Principal's Office02 Sep 202501:01:10

What do schools see when co-parenting gets messy—and how can we do better?

In this episode, I sit down with Principal Meghan Holt, who brings her full perspective as an educator, a child of divorce, and a two-time co-parent. We talk about how conflict between homes shows up in the classroom, when step-parents should be looped in, and what schools wish all families knew.

This conversation is honest, practical, and full of insight for anyone raising kids across two homes.

GYG -- You Can't Pour From An Empty Cup28 Aug 202500:03:10

In this Give Yourself Grace episode, we’re talking about why running yourself ragged isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a fast track to burnout. You can’t show up as the partner, parent, or friend you want to be if you’re running on fumes. These few minutes are your reminder to refill your own cup first—because when you’re nourished, rested, and grounded, you can give your best to the people you love without losing yourself in the process.

One Child, Two Homes -- A Child Psychiatrist's View on Co-Parenting & Behavioral Health26 Aug 202501:04:06

When a child lives in two homes, their world is constantly shifting—between routines, expectations, and emotional atmospheres. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sherry Chandy, a child and adolescent psychiatrist with Mosaic Life Care, to explore what that experience is like from a mental health perspective.

We talk about how divided households affect a child’s brain development, emotional regulation, and attachment. Dr. Chandy shares insight on what kids really need from us as parents and co-parents—including how to create consistency, avoid loyalty binds, and respond to behavioral red flags with wisdom, not shame.

We also touch on:

  • What to do when it feels like your child is “acting out”
  • How to tell the difference between normal frustration and something deeper
  • Why seeking help isn’t weakness—it’s protection
  • The role of our own healing in showing up for our kids

Whether you’re a parent, bonus parent, or simply someone who loves a child navigating two homes, this conversation will leave you feeling both informed and empowered.

GYG -- The Inner Work21 Aug 202500:02:55

In this Give Yourself Grace drop, we’re talking about the kind of work no one else can do for you—the inner work. The healing, self-awareness, and growth that happen when you stop outsourcing your worth and start showing up for yourself. This is where change begins—not in what you do for others, but in how you tend to your own mind, body, and heart. The best version of you starts from the inside out.

What is Co-Parenting, Really?19 Aug 202501:14:55

What does "co-parenting" really mean beyond the dictionary definition?  In this episode, I'm joined for the very first time by my sister, Taylor -- who just so happens to share a unique bond with me as a twin mom.  She's the biological mom of fraternal twin boys, and I'm the bonus mom of fraternal twin boys...so twins are all we know!  

Together, she and I unpack the heart of co-parenting -- the messy realities, the every day wins and loses, and how it's about so much more than just splitting time between homes.  We talk about the role of grace, the importance of seeing each other as whole humans (no just "the other parent"), and how raising children in blended families can still be filled with stability, love and teamwork.

So, I Married a Dad11 Aug 202500:30:26

When I imagined falling in love and starting a family, this wasn't the picture I had in mind.  But love has a funny way of rewriting the plan.

In this first episode of Co-Parenting with Grace, I share my personal story -- how I met my husband (and his kids), what it felt like to become a stepmom, and the grief and grace I've managed along the way.

Whether you're a biological parent, a bonus parent, or somewhere in between, this one's for you.

Grace After the Holidays27 Jan 202600:09:55

The holidays can hit differently when you’re co-parenting or part of a blended family. More schedules. More communication. More emotional labor. Or, for some, more quiet — and the grief that comes with missing moments you wish you had.

In this solo episode kicking off Season 2 of Co-Parenting with Grace, Jodi invites you to slow down and acknowledge what you just lived through. January often arrives demanding big goals and fresh starts, but when you’ve been running since Halloween, sometimes the most honest thing you can do is catch your breath.

This episode isn’t about fixing or improving — it’s about giving yourself credit. For the patience you practiced, the compromises you made, and the grace you gave your kids and yourself along the way. If you’re tired, tender, or still finding your footing after the holidays, this one’s for you.

If you’re navigating big emotions, complicated family dynamics, or simply trying to show up well for your kids while holding yourself together, this season is for you.
Season Two of Co-Parenting with Grace is coming Tuesday, January 27, 2026.

GYG -- You're Allowed to Feel Both23 Oct 202500:02:37

Meet My Co-Mother | The Bio Mom Episode Part 221 Oct 202501:58:33

In Part 2 of my conversation with my boys’ biological mom, Kelly Rush, we’re picking up right where we left off — at the moment everything changed.

This is the raw, unfiltered continuation of our story: the conversation that opened the door to trust, healing, and even friendship. We talk about how this very podcast idea became the bridge between us, the fears we had at first, and the unexpected laughter that’s come along the way.

You’ll hear the mic bumps, the coughs, the pauses — because I left it all in. I wanted you to experience this episode exactly as it happened: two moms sitting down, being real, and choosing grace over ego.

If you’ve ever wondered what healing can look like when both people decide to show up and do the work — this is it.

GYG -- You Are Not Too Much16 Oct 202500:02:59

In this Give Yourself Grace drop, we’re reminding ourselves that you’re not “too much”—you’ve just been carrying too much for too long. This is your permission to set the weight down, take a breath, and remember you were never meant to hold it all alone.
