Meet Jody
My Path
Hello! I am Jody Picone, and for 23 years, I was a Child Welfare Social Worker in the Commonwealth of MA. People say, “You gotta have tough skin to do that work,” and I’m sure most who know me would say I do have tough skin.
Turning Point
My question at 55 years old was: “At what cost am I experiencing this work/career?” So I retired and continued on my journey of self-discovery. I am so proud of becoming a Guided Meditation Facilitator/Coach in 2023. I have been trained by the renowned Heather Hayward. In my career/lifetime I have owned my own massage therapy business, been a social worker for 23 years, produced a local TV show called Community Resources, became a certified Reiki practitioner, trained foster parents, and have been nannying, In the last few years during retirement and also have begun consulting families in regards to child development, and potential cases with the state involving DCF in Florida.
Florida Transition
I divorced in 2020 and moved to FL in 2021. It’s been a beautiful transition, and in my own healing, I realize I was meant to continue to help people on their way back to self, as I believe I have. For my entire life, I have been insightful, and even as a child, I have felt I am truly an empath.
Why This Work Matters
We so infrequently pause and truly dedicate time for ourselves alone to unplug from everything our world has in front of us every minute of every day. I finally realized my work, my role in my family as a caretaker of elders, and that I had to start somewhere, making time for myself! Thank God I did!
