Navigating the New Normal of COVID-19
Welcome back to Light Body Radio!
This week I have a special treat! My good friend and colleague, Julie Ford, and I got together to bring you a special episode on “Navigating the New Normal”. As we all adjust to the dynamic that COVID-19 has brought upon us, we talk about how to find our grounded calm, acknowledge and move through grief and so much more! Join us this week for a lively conversation and take away some tools you can use today!
In today’s show, we offer you something to ponder, to practice and to play with.
To ponder:
“One day when you wake up, you will find that you have become a forest. You have grown roots and found strength in them that no one thought you had. You have become stronger and more beautiful, full of life giving qualities. You have learned to take all the negativity around you and turn it into oxygen for easy breathing. A host of wild creatures live inside you and you call them stories. A variety of beautiful birds rest inside your mind and you call them memories. You have become an incredible self sustaining thing of epic proportions. And you should be so proud of yourself, of how far you have come from the seeds of who you used to be.”
– Nikita Gill, You Have Become a Forest

Tools of Life is written and produced by Julie Ford of Julz of Life where we've been supporting parents and teens as they navigate the challenging richness of raising the next generation. This stage of life is full of our own "remember when" and "oh boy, here we go" moments that we can choose to either DREAD or RELISH. No stage of parenting (or life…) should need to be endured. Let's enjoy every stage.
Julie is a certified life coach, trainer, and author. She passionately champions teens and their parents as they navigate some of the richest yet most challenging transitions to independence. Together they enjoy every stage, discovering treasure in each moment.
Her programs, like Enjoy Every Stage group coaching, Tools of Life podcast, and Parent/Teen Communication coaching, are changing lives one good human (and these days, one terrified teen) at a time. With her humor, attention to what isn't said, and use of creative analogy, Julie creates connections that move clients toward the answers they seek.
Julie lives in Wisconsin with her husband Rico and two teen daughters.
