“We are love. And from my personal experience, I have recognized patterns in my life where I have covered my love. I've covered my love to hide, to protect. And those forms of protection and patterns of hiding kept me small. Kept me in a place of not only not receiving love, but also not giving love. So coming back to love for me is really coming back home.” - Jody Lemieux

Karen Walker Cohn: [00:00:01 ] If this is your first time to Coming Back To Love, the podcast, welcome. We're so glad you found us. If you're a regular listener, welcome back. Either way, you're not here by accident. I'm your host, Karen Walker Cohn, a wife, a mom, entrepreneur, friend and dreamer who is ready to step into more of who I am created to be. I am committed to personal transformation for global impact. Now, this podcast may be very different from others. Our guests don't come with a topic or agenda. They come open and ready to receive and deliver the message that's meant for you. You will also notice our podcast is not overly produced. This is on purpose. Our hope is we will inspire you to step into who you're created to be, regardless of how it may look. Take inspired action on that book, business, relationship, and yes, podcast or whatever it is on your heart. In my experience, my mess usually ends up being my message. I encourage you to approach our time today with a beginner's mindset and with openness to receive what is meant for you. In this episode, I'm speaking with Jody Lemieux, wife, mom of three, and business owner. Jody is transforming brand cultures by integrating spiritual perspectives. In November 2022, Jody launched the Spiritually Aligned CEO podcast with the vision of having conversations with entrepreneurs, helping them recognize their businesses actually having a deeper impact on a global level so they can reconnect with their purpose and vision of their lives and business. Coming Back To Love the podcast is in part here today because of Jody's work. I am so thankful to her, and I was not going to miss out on the opportunity for her to speak to you. Let's get into it.
Karen Walker Cohn: [00:02:02 ] Hi, Jody. I'm so glad you're here.
Jody Lemieux: [00:02:06 ] Hi, Karen. Thank you so much for inviting me.
Karen Walker Cohn: [00:02:09 ] Absolutely, absolutely. You just you had to be on our first season. And I'm so glad that you're here. Even with technical difficulties, we made it through, and we got it onto this podcast, so I'm glad you're here. So the way I love to start this is I'll have a question for you. So I'll ask you to center or, you know, whatever that is for you, if that's a couple deep breaths. I'll ask you a question and I just want to hear what's on your mind. You open to that?
Jody Lemieux: [00:02:44 ] All right, I'm ready.
Karen Walker Cohn: [00:02:45 ] All right, so just take a couple of deep breaths. Jody, when you hear the title of this podcast, Coming Back To Love: Inspiring Stories on Shifting Perspectives, what experience from your life comes to mind?
Jody Lemieux: [00:03:03 ] Such a beautiful question. And the reason it's a beautiful question is because we're made from love. We are love. And from my personal experience, I have recognized patterns in my life where I have covered my love. I've covered my love to hide, to protect. And those forms of protection and patterns of hiding kept me small. Kept me in a place of not only not receiving love, but also not giving love. So coming back to love for me is really coming back home. It's coming to a place of recognizing who I am and celebrating the love that comes through me so I can express it and also receive it.
Karen Walker Cohn: [00:04:05 ] Wow. You started talking and it was everything for me not to just start crying. Like I get, I feel so emotional just hearing you share that. I can relate to that so deeply. And I'm still in the process, as I think we all are, of discovering those patterns. And some of those patterns that, I mean discovering, I think maybe some new ones that okay, I haven't, I didn't realize that that was showing up. And for me, patterns that consistently show up. Even as I'm in this healing journey, and that seems to be a theme with my podcast recording so far. That's really interesting. I would love to hear your take, Jody, on on those patterns that keep resurfacing even, even though we're in the work.
Jody Lemieux: [00:05:16 ] That's a beautiful awareness of patterns that come back. Or let me say it this way, patterns that repeat. And when they first appeared for me, in my awareness at the time that I first recognized the patterns, I experienced what I knew at the time as pain. And the more I experienced those patterns, I was able to step into a place of witnessing those patterns rather than holding those patterns. So if I can say it this way, there are times when my emotions, I allow my emotions to hold on to me rather than me holding them. And what I mean by that is that I've allowed my emotions to take place of who I am rather than who I am witnessing those emotions. Because if I can place them in a place o...
