About this Event
Are you feeling stuck, unsure, or creatively blocked? Is your nervous system begging for a reset? Are you moving through life wondering, “Is there something more?”Is something bothering you — but you can’t quite name it?
Then this is the class for you.
Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s — we all carry stuff.And your stuff matters.
If you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, or what we lovingly call “man-opause” (yes, my male friends — that’s a real thing)...If you’re simply feeling the weight of the world — physically, emotionally, energetically — this experience was created with you in mind.
I often walk into wellness spaces and realize I’m the oldest person in the room. If you’ve ever felt that way, please don’t let it stop you from showing up. You are needed. You are valuable. Your wisdom adds a grounding energy to any space — regardless of your age or stage of life.
Your wellness matters. Your light still shines. You don’t need to look or feel like you once did to belong here. And let’s be honest — even when we were younger, we still found things we wanted to change. Now’s the time to honor who you are — exactly as you are.
This session is led by Jodie Baudek, founder of Essence of Life and The Essence Method.It’s more than just breathwork — she brings decades of holistic wisdom to each experience. Jodie has been hired by Fortune 500 companies, major league sports teams, and top CEOs for her transformative approach to wellness. She is an international best-selling author, award-winning speaker, podcast host, and was honored as Chicago’s Most Inspirational Woman in 2019. Most recently, her work was featured in Times Square for her publications and creative producer behind the documentary Authentic Conversations, featuring powerful voices like Jack Canfield, Patty Aubrey, Kate Butler, and Dr. Angela Williamson. This is your chance to be guided by someone who truly lives what she teaches.
It’s an invitation to reclaim your power, peace, and presence — and come back into your whole self — in your body, mind, and spirit.
