In this conversation, Jodie shares her experience as a nurse and mother during the pandemic — the fear, the grief, and ultimately, the deep reflection that followed.
We explore the intensity of those early days: the fear in the paramedics' eyes and the heartbreak of watching young and healthy patients deteriorate. But beyond the chaos, Jodie found clarity. The crisis became a mirror — revealing cracks in the healthcare system, limiting beliefs around parenting and education, and the cost of always doing what’s expected.
From rethinking school for her children to choosing not to vaccinate them, Jodie opens up about how COVID led her to embrace intuition over fear and boundaries over conformity. She reflects on the the nuanced conversations around vaccines, and the journey of choosing a different path for her kids — and eventually for herself.
