How You Respond is a Choice.

Adversity happens to all of us.  When it happens, questions will arise: How do I go on? How do I find my way? How do I find hope?

From Misery to Hope Loves Company

When ALS took her late husband Kevin in 2001 at the age of 36, Jodi knew that her life had changed forever.  She could either wallow in her grief or use that experience for good. As a result, Jodi was inspired to create Hope Loves Company, the only non profit with the unique and specific mission to support children and young adults who have been affected by ALS. This powerful presentation follows Jodi's journey from widowhood to wonderful as she inspires a mission, a documentary, a TEDx and healing.

My Faithful Journey

Jodi speaks on her faithful journey and how it has impacted her outlook, choices, path and  progress. It is her faith that brought her out of depression and into purpose.

The Joys of Volunteerism

Jodi's volunteerism has resulted in 25 successful camps across the nation for children who have or had loved ones battling ALS, in addition to a wealth of other programs and services for children affected by ALS.

Jodi shares how employees can give, how volunteering improves team building skills and company morale, and why everyone benefits when they are working together to help others!
