Praise for Relationship Detox

“Great book! Often, books written about relationships fall into two categories – too personal or too academic. Not this book. It is written from the heart, but not in a way that is overwhelming. It is practical, with examples to help the reader gain further insight. Jodi’s FORWARD method is simple but effective – it is a game-changer!”

–David Lawson, Relationship Counselor and Coach, Finding the Light

“I bet most people know someone who hasn't found the love of their life and has fallen into frustration and discontent over their future prospects, not wanting to be alone but not knowing how to find that special partner either. Relationship Detox gives them the tools to reset their dating life and move forward with focus and integrity.”

–Carrie Saynisch, Health and Wellness Coach

“If we’re incredibly fortunate, we’ve found our mate and are happy for the rest of our lives – growing and changing together – embracing our similarities and our differences. But the odds are stacked against us. Unless we have a process such as the one Jodi lays out for us here. Jodi shows her vulnerability, ensuring us that we’re not the only ones with flaws. She talks to us in this book like a wiser, non-judgmental friend, and she guides us – in plain language – to ask ourselves the big questions that will lead to our authentic selves. She coaches us to understand ourselves better so that we can connect with a partner who loves us, supports us, challenges us, and helps us become all we ever wanted to be and more.”

–Karen Cain, Realtor

“Just over a year ago, my 22-year toxic relationship exploded. Deep down, I knew that day would come, yet I was unprepared for the depth of my loss of self-worth and feelings of personal failure.

Your book and concept are engaging, accessible, and empowering. Thank you for assisting me in finding a new today and tomorrow.”

“What an amazing book! I was able to relate to looking back at past relationships and the types of men I have been drawn to, and, most of all, how I allowed those people to control my life. After reading Relationship Detox, I am on a new journey. Thank you, Jodi for writing this and helping me along my new path!”

“Jodi has done it again! She offers an easy, effective process to follow with her FORWARD Framework. And she is there every step of the way. No truer words have ever been spoken than when Jodi writes, “Having a healthy and fulfilling relationship with a partner is wonderful, and is what I believe everyone truly wants deep down. But in order to have that with a partner, you must first have a healthy relationship with oneself.” I highly recommend this book!
