SoulShine Training

Good morning!☀️

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about starting over.

Before I got sick in July, my VO₂ max consistently hovered around 40. After a month of viral meningitis, very little movement, and a whole lot of recovery, it’s now around 32.

And yup...I want that 40 back.

But here’s what I keep reminding myself: I don’t need to start where I was. I need to start where I am.

That’s true for all of us.

Maybe summer threw you completely out of your routine. Maybe you’ve been sick or injured. Maybe you’ve been taking care of everyone except yourself. Or maybe you just haven’t felt like moving much lately.

That’s okay. You don’t have to make up for lost time. You don’t need a huge plan or a September overhaul.

Just start.

Take a walk. Eat something that makes your body feel good. Drink water. Come to class. Go to bed a little earlier. Do one small thing today that supports the way you want to feel tomorrow.

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past few years learning about health, healing, movement, stress, and the incredible ways our bodies and minds work together. And after graduating with my degree in Holistic Health this spring, I was so excited to bring more of that into SoulShine.

Then life had other plans for a little while.

But I’m back. I’m rebuilding too. And I’m really excited about where we’re going next.

Start where you are.
Not where you were.

Love & big, fat hugs,

Hey everyone!❤️

For those of you who don’t know, a couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with viral meningitis after several days of high fevers, terrible headaches, weakness, and a whole lot of confusion. Honestly, July is mostly a blur. I remember very little from about three weeks, and “woke up” just before my birthday on the 18th.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helped me along the way - with rides to the ER, meals, flowers, messages, and so much love. I felt pretty sad realizing I’d lost so much time and had been away from my clients and friends for weeks.

But here’s the beautiful part. Last Monday I taught HIIT again. I only gave about 60% (with plenty of reminders from all of you to take it easy!), but during that hour I remembered exactly what I needed to remember: I absolutely love what I do. I love this community. I love the life I’ve built. And I am so incredibly lucky to be surrounded by people who care so deeply.

Thank you for helping me find my way back.❤️☀️🙏

Happy Father’s Day!!!

Summer is here, and with it comes all the things - yard work, house projects, jobs, vacations, cookouts, friends, family, and trying to squeeze every last drop out of these beautiful Vermont days!

Just a little reminder that rest and recovery belong on the summer to-do list too. Make time for the adventures. Make time for the people you love. But also make some time to sit on the patio, take a walk, read a book, nap in the hammock, or just do nothing for a little while.

The goal isn’t to do it all, it’s to enjoy it all.

💛Jode💛

SoulShiners,

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how movement affects so much more than just the body.

Stress.
Mood.
Energy.
The nervous system.
The way we show up in our lives.

Same SoulShine.
Just evolving a little deeper.

Love,
Jode xo

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there today - the new moms, seasoned moms, stepmoms, grandmothers, dog moms, bonus moms, and the women who love and care for others so deeply.

And extra love today to those missing their moms, grieving motherhood in some way, or finding today a little hard.

So much of what makes SoulShine Training special is because of the women who show up for others every single day.

Thinking of all of you today ❤️

SoulShiners,

I’ve spent a lot of time in “go mode.” Building, working, thinking about what’s next. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, I’m realizing how easy it is to miss the life you’re working so hard to build.

So right now, I’m practicing something different - settling my bod, slowing my mind, and giving my nervous system a chance to downshift….and actually enjoy what’s already here.

Less rushing.
Actually noticing.
Enjoying it.

Take a sec today to pause….and really be in it.
Jode 😘

SoulShiners,

Growth doesn’t happen when everything feels easy.
It happens when you try, reflect, adjust…and keep going.

Same with your health.

It’s not linear. It’s not perfect. But small actions over time do shift your state.

You don’t have to feel ready.
Just begin.

Love,
Jode xo
