I’m a dancer turned teacher turned choreographer turned sourdough baker turned writer, life coach, and probably three other things by the time you finish this sentence.

I’m also a recovering hustler and someone who regularly Googles things like “how to make acorn flour?”

I live somewhere between the kitchen, the garden, and the dance studio while occasionally wondering if it’s time to put on real clothes. (Usually, the answer is no.)

Where I’ve Been

I started in the performing arts world, where I learned how to express the ineffable, embrace impermanence, and treat a recurring ingrown toenail.

I founded Jodie Randolph Dance, a home for research-driven, collaborative contemporary work. Later, I launched Young Dancers Initiative to create more opportunities for youth in the arts.

I created a YouTube channel to showcase some of my choreography as a freelancer as well as work inside both companies.

Somewhere between rehearsal studios and grant deadlines, I started asking deeper questions about sustainability, God’s design, and what it actually means to live well.

That curiosity led me to the home… which led me to the kitchen… which led me to the soil.

I started Green Tree Homestead to document my journey into growing food, cooking from scratch, and learning the difference between busy and full. Turns out the earth has a lot to teach about alignment, patience, timing, and what truly matters.

Where I Am Now

I don’t fit neatly into a title. (If you do, I admire you. But also, how?)

These days, my paid work includes teaching, writing, coaching, and every once in awhile selling sourdough bread to friends. There isn’t much barrier between my paid and unpaid work, it’s all woven together. Nothing is siloed.

As a writer:
This blog is my place to connect with multi-passionates, deep feelers, creatives, questioners, freedom-seekers, faith-wanderers and faith-returners. It’s where I reflect, process, and ask questions about God’s design for the earth and for humanity.

I’ve always wanted to write. This is me practicing that in public. 

I also have a Substack where I send and post weekly musings.

Green Tree Homestead is another place where I write blog posts. Mostly recipes and other homestead related content.

I’ve written two books. One an improvisational movement guide that you can find here. And my MFA thesis, which is published through the Jacksonville University library.

As a coach and mentor:
I work with people who don’t fit the mold, and don’t want to. My coaching is rooted in the belief that God designed you with intention, and your unique path is not a flaw to fix but a gift to nurture. I got my Associate Certified Coach credential from the Internal Coaching Federation in 2024.

As a coach, my primary audience has been working dancers, particularly those in transition (high school to college, college to professional work, and post professionals).

I received my MFA in Choreography in 2018 and have worked with several choreographers as they develop work, particularly BFA and MFA candidates who are working on their thesis.

As a teacher:
I lead local, flow-based dance classes for both professionals and brave beginners. This is where my journey began. And no matter how many times I’ve tried to pivot away, God keeps leading me back to the studio.

I started teaching dance right out of high school after deciding not to pursue a performance career. It was by far the right move for me and I am thankful God gave me that opportunity.

Where I’m Headed

I want to build a life and a business that honors God’s design for me, for the land, and for my community.

I’m dreaming of:

• A permaculture homestead where people can come to rest, learn, and reconnect. With a dance barn of course!
  
• A creative retreat space for women to unlearn hustle and remember who they are.
  
• Writing the kind of books that question our inherited way and lean into Jesus’ way.
  
• Expanding coaching to include group programs for multi-passionate women of faith who want to live more rooted and free.
  

My work keeps evolving, because I do. But the through line stays the same: I want to create spaces where people feel safe to be themselves and free to live like it.

If any of this resonates, let’s be friends.
