About
Jodi Bendrien, a certified Joy Facilitator and certified Grief Coach, I am here to bring it all together.
After unimaginable loss in my life, I chose to turn my pain into purpose.
I am under no illusion that I can make grief easy. Grief takes time. Instead, my vision is to eliminate unnecessary suffering, and to help people understand grief literacy by reframing Joy as a connection. Grief asks us to face what’s been lost; joy reminds us what’s still here. When we let them coexist, they don’t cancel each other out; they complete the picture. I am here to teach how we can eliminate unnecessary suffering by allowing both emotions to exist allows for a more complete human experience, transforming pain into meaning.
I am in the midst of creating an online space where together we can land softly into navigating your grief story. The deepest challenges, the messy steps of the journey nobody wants to be on and the steps of finding joy during grief.
As the sole owner of Soulara Hotel and Retreats in Costa Rica, I know my true place in life is to re-open this centre for everyone who needs a space to take a deep breath after loss. Our brains are hardwired to react positively to water and that being near the ocean can calm and connect us, increase innovation and insight, and even heal what is broken.
This program has allowed me to connect these feelings together and truly feel empowered within my healing journey. If you are on the fence about joining, I urge you to follow your instincts and take the plunge. If your unsure how you will ever use the program, trust me, you will; even in your everyday life. I feel more confident as a leader than ever before and using the Joy method has allowed me to connect with my staff on a more human level.
Using the daily Joy Journal has been a way for me to remind myself what brings me Joy and how to connect with small miracles each morning. Waking up and setting intentions on finding true happiness in the small things each day has brought a level of peace I never thought possible. Instead of dreading days in the office and uncomfortable conversations, I wake inspired to complete tasks with ease and joy. It has changed my relationships with everyone around me including friends, family and co-workers.
