Episode 305 - Getting REAL About What Keeps Showing Up with Jodee

In this solo episode of Circle Up & Get Real, host Jodi Bach reflects on the recurring theme of 'what keeps showing up' in her life and conversations—specifically, the internal weather she brings into every interaction. Drawing from her experience in the Upper Midwest with unpredictable 'false spring' weather, she uses the metaphor of seasonal moods to illustrate how our internal state shapes our reality. She contrasts 'winter weather'—characterized by cynicism, fear, and anticipation of failure—with 'spring weather,' a mindset of hope, curiosity, and anticipation of positive outcomes. Bach shares personal insights about regret, catastrophizing, and the power of intention, emphasizing that we often create our own suffering through negative self-talk and overthinking. She introduces the concept of 'be aware energy' as a shift from 'beware energy,' advocating for a more open, learning-focused approach to life. The episode closes with a call to action: choose one positive quality—radical, energized, authentic, or learning-focused—and bring it into your next conversation, no matter how small the step. The overarching message is that our internal weather influences everything, and we have the power to choose a more hopeful, intentional presence.
