Episode notes

In this final episode of my conversation with artist Jodie, we reflect on what it means to live with our eyes wide open to the beauty and sacredness woven into everyday life.

Together, we explore creativity, curiosity, simple joys, meaningful rhythms, and the ways God gently meets us through ordinary moments. This conversation is filled with encouragement to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover wonder in the life already surrounding you.

Jodie shares insights from her creative journey and reminds us that beauty is not reserved for extraordinary moments — it is often found right in the middle of daily life.

In this episode, we discuss: • Living with greater awareness and wonder • Finding beauty in ordinary moments • Creativity as a way of noticing and savoring • Curiosity, inspiration, and joyful living • The sacredness of everyday rhythms • Slowing down to experience life more fully

This episode is Part Three of a special three-part series:

• Part One — Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be

• Part Two — This Is the Stuff of Life

• Part Three — Living with Eyes Wide Open

Jodi also shares where you can connect with her art, online classes, and creative offerings.
