Episode Description
In this deeply personal and empowering episode of Fearlessly Authentic, I’m sharing my journey over the past three months—a transformative period where I prioritized my mental well-being and made the courageous decision to redefine my life. For the first time in years, I chose to put myself first, stepping away from a situation that no longer served me to find peace, clarity, and the life I truly want to live. I open up about the fear, self-doubt, and challenges I faced in making this life-altering decision, especially at this stage of my life, and the powerful lessons I’ve learned along the way. This episode isn’t about blame or regret—it’s about self-awareness, empowerment, and the courage to take control of your happiness. If you’ve ever felt stuck or afraid to make a big change, this conversation is for you. I want you to know that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. The power to change your life is within you, and while the journey might be scary, the peace and fulfillment on the other side make it all worth it. Tune in for a raw, honest, and hopeful discussion about choosing yourself, finding your peace, and living authentically—no matter where you are in life.

Jodi Harrison Bauer is a two-time World Bikini Champion, founder and owner of JodiFit boutique fitness studio, host of Fearlessly Authentic podcast and the oldest woman to ever compete for the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, making global headlines and the Top 60 finalists in 2019.
Growing up, Jodi was a people pleaser and scared of everything. She graduated with a BA from Simmons College in 1983. Jodi’s life changed forever when, at 42 years old, she built the courage to take control of her own happiness. Since then, Jodi has worked relentlessly to better herself, build her business, nurture her relationships and create the life she knew she always deserved, one with passion and purpose.
In doing so, she hasn’t followed the rules or fit in the box society wanted to put her in. She started competing in fitness shows when she was “too old,” opened a business at 50 and got re-married eight years later. She competed against women more than half her age for a spot in Sports Illustrated Swim to prove age and beauty are not directly correlated.
Today she defines herself as an ageless warrior and an advocate against ageism. In her studio, on her podcast and across her social channels, Jodi focuses on empowering women.
Jodi is the proud mother of two grown daughters and a rescue pup. Outside of JodiFit, you can find her on the beach or dancing like no one’s watching. She lives by the words “Never let fear stop you from being YOU."
