Jodi’s life story is one of breaking free and healing from the myriad of past emotional wounds from the impact of fear, trauma, rejection, neglect, shame, and anxiety that affected her wellbeing and crippled her health. Along with studying and ministering, she loves to lead worship. She wrote her first song in Grade 6. Her debut album, Reconciliation (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeWzFCzfbmRQhBwVwSxMN-w) has earned her royalties since 2000, with Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI), Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) and most recently with YouTube, CD Baby and its distributors.
