This week on the podcast I’m chatting with Jodi Echakowitz, who in her 50s underwent an incredible physical fitness transformation — going from feeling exhausted and disconnected from her body to fitness competitions and photo shoots.

But the most powerful part of Jodi’s journey isn’t what we see on Instagram — the gym time or the nutrition posts. It’s the quiet, behind-the-scenes work that changed everything: the mindset shifts and identity transformation that now influence how she shows up in her life, her body, and the world.

Jodi shares why having the right program and support matters — but also why real, lasting change doesn’t come from pushing harder or doing more. It comes from seeing yourself differently and changing the inner narrative and self-talk that drive your choices.

We talk about why the way we speak to ourselves matters more than we realize, why mindset is often the missing link in lasting change, and how identity quietly shapes our habits and results.

Jodi’s story isn’t just about changing her body — it’s about transforming the way she approaches her life. If you’re on any kind of transformation journey, physical or otherwise, this episode is one you’ll want to hear.
