Episode 20: Vocation And Flow

Oakland x Asian x Mom Podcast

When Sarah and I first brainstormed who we wanted to interview on our podcast, Jodi was on top of our wish list! We couldn't quite narrow down one topic to talk about with Jodi...so we decided to ask her to speak about things we know she is passionate about: intentional living among the poor, working abroad, integrating values of simplicity and generosity in her family life. Jodi has recently been reflecting on the different dimensions of vocation and beautifully describes a "divine dance" of how her actions and work flow out of contemplation and love. Her sharing really gives reasons to pause and ask ourselves, "What gives life to our own actions and vocation?" Jodi assures us that figuring out the answers to these questions is definitely a worthwhile discovery in the midst of motherhood and that finding quietness and solitude may help along the way.
