About JodiGolda
I left behind everything I knew…
And bought a one-way plane ticket to Southeast Asia.
It was the kind of choice that had people asking, “Are you sure?” But I knew something had to change, and I needed space to figure out what was true for me.
It’s both freeing and a little terrifying.
Just…space (which was a bit unnerving). And the persistent question of who am I now?I’d spent decades knowing exactly who I was, and now I wasn’t sure anymore (have you ever felt that?)
Because your life can look good on paper and still feel not quite right. Like a pair of jeans that are too tight. You might not be able to put your finger on what needs to change. You may not understand what you’re being called towards. But dear, that’s all part of the process.
There were times I kicked and screamed my way towards change. I resisted. I stayed longer than I should have. I tried to make it work until I couldn’t ignore my inner voice anymore.
Because stepping into the unknown brings up a lot (fears, old stories, outdated programming), and we naturally gravitate towards the comfort of what’s familiar and safe (even if it’s hollow, at times).
After wandering the world and doing deep inner work along the way, I felt called to a softer, slower life and a different culture. My heart settled in Portugal. I bought a purple house and began to build a life that felt authentic, grounded, and true for me now.
But getting comfortable with the uncomfortable has become my mantra.
Moving to Portugal wasn’t the first time I stepped into the unknown. It wasn’t the first time I chose what felt true for me, even when it didn’t make sense on paper.
I left a steady teaching position that I rocked at, to follow my heart into something that was even more aligned: Yoga for Kids!
I became an entrepreneur, pioneering the first Kids Yoga studio in the world: Next Generation Yoga.
In that season, I taught nearly a million kids and certified thousands of teachers. I had impact, income, and purpose! I had ticked all the boxes for being successful. BUT after 21 years, I felt called to something more (even though nothing was wrong!).
I wanted something more aligned, more authentic, more true. Holy f*ck, I was leaping into the void again. It was terrifying AND unignorable. But I’d fallen in love with coaching, and I knew it was the next step in following my sacred purpose.
And so, I sold my business.
Every time I stepped into the unknown, I slowly found my way towards the next version of myself.
I decided to focus fully on coaching women leaders, helping them to build their own successful businesses. After nearly 15 years of business coaching (which I have LOVED!) I felt called to add something new to my coaching business and embrace change yet again. A space where you can learn to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Where you don’t have to walk through the Mystery (that liminal in-between-ness that we often try to rush through) alone.
From all the growth and change I’ve experienced, I created The Outgrown Identity Club because I know what it feels like to be in that in-between, where your old life no longer fits, but your next one hasn’t fully formed yet.
(And you can too.)
Along the way, I’ve learned we’re never finished. There’s always more growth, more layers of conditioning to unwind, more programming to deconstruct.
I’ve learned how to stop abandoning myself and advocate for my needs (and that has changed EVERYTHING).
I’ve learned that aligned living isn’t fixed or passive (and that’s actually kind of amazing!).
And I’ve learned that we get to take the pieces we love mo st about each past version of ourselves and weave them into our next (most authentic) chapter.
I’ve been willing to look into shadowy corners and dig beneath the surface to create something real (and it’s been worth it every. single. time.).
Because your relationship with yourself determines your success in life.
I’ve been on my own personal growth journey for over 30 years, and I continue to do the work (Yes, I have my own coach!). I practice parts work (Internal Family Systems) and have an intimate relationship with my inner child. I also practice somatic experiencing (and bring all of this into my coaching too).
And through it all, it’s my commitment to change, to releasing what’s comfortable, easy, and familiar that has helped me navigate transitions successfully and discover more purpose every time.
I’m committed to remaining open to the Mystery and stepping into the unknown.
I’m willing to listen and, when something is done, to let it go.
And these are the things that make me skilled at getting to the root of the conditioning you’ve outgrown. At holding your vision as if it were my own.
I’m a certified Master Sacred Depths Coach with over 15 years of experience. My trauma-informed coaching is born from my own personal transitions and how I’ve successfully made it to the other side (through grief, feeling lost, tender, disoriented, purposeless, anxious, and alone) only to become more authentic in each new chapter.
The feedback I so often hear from clients is that they feel seen and heard, and there is such a relief in talking to someone who gets them.
JodiGolda is so much more than a coach. She is a midwife who helped me awaken deep body-wisdom, activating my core desires to reclaim my authentic expression of who I am and birth into life what I am here to do. She weaves embodiment, spirit, and business to awaken the life calling each of us.

JodiGolda is masterful at getting to the heart of the matter. With deep care and empathy, she gently surfaced experiences I hadn’t yet been able to access in decades. Through listening, inquiry, conversation, and embodiment practices, she created a space where insights came naturally. Her respect for consent created trust for even greater depth.
— Priscila Nagalli
She challenged me when I needed it most, believed in me when I struggled to believe in myself, and created space for some of the most meaningful, healing, and clarifying experiences of my life. She brings deep wisdom, a generous heart, and a rare gift for helping you step into the fullest, most aligned version of yourself.

It has been an honor to be witnessed and supported by JodiGolda. Her warmth, direct communication, and playfully fierce coaching gaze invite you to get real about what you want and where you are holding back—and together create the step-by-step action plan for how to get there. Your life and work become more true, soulful, inspired, and fun.
You don’t have to know what’s next to begin this process. In fact, no one shows up having it all figured out.
The in-between-ness is uncomfortable. We want answers and certainty. We want to flip the page and begin the next chapter. But, if you slow down, that liminal space is full of magic; it’s some of the most fertile, creative, and beautiful ground you can stand on (even if it feels a bit wobbly at times).
Change asks us to be brave.
There’s a moment in every transition where nothing fits anymore. Not your old identity. Not your old desires. Not even the version of you that used to know what she wanted. Most people rush past it. But that space? That’s where everything gets interesting.
Because it turns out most of us have paths filled with unexpected twists and turns, a few loops we get stuck in, and some detours along the way. From the restlessness, the dissatisfaction, the anything-but-this whispers, emerges a journey uniquely your own. And all the lessons you needed to stand here (on the edge of your next chapter ) become the fertile ground that allows you to build something more aligned.
Sometimes the status quo can be just as uncomfortable as stepping into the unknown. And that’s usually where something starts to shift.
