Empower Hour with Lady J

Welcome to Empower Hour with Lady J (formerly The Jodi Watkins Show and originally Breaking Barriers Now).

This is where faith, leadership, healing, and intentional living come together through honest conversations and practical wisdom. Whether I'm sharing lessons from my own journey or sitting down with inspiring guests, every episode is designed to help you move forward with greater clarity, courage, and purpose.

What You'll Hear

• Honest conversations about leadership, resilience, faith, personal growth, and legacy

• Practical strategies you can apply in your everyday life

• Stories of overcoming adversity, rebuilding after setbacks, and choosing purpose over fear

• Thought-provoking discussions with leaders, entrepreneurs, veterans, authors, and everyday people creating meaningful impact

Some episodes feature special guests. Others are conversations directly from me, sharing insights, experiences, and lessons I'm learning along the way.

Why Listen?

If you're navigating change, rebuilding after disappointment, growing as a leader, or simply striving to become more intentional in the way you live and lead, you're in the right place.

This isn't about perfection.

It's about progress, personal responsibility, and choosing every day to become the person you're called to be.

Today, my guest is Dr. Jonathan Marion. He believes that when we live, connect, and communicate authentically, we send out ripples…. which make the world more caring and connected, one ripple at a time.

Having seen this dynamic over 20+ years as an award-winning cultural anthropology professor and author, Jonathan feels that how we show up is the key to living deeply meaningful and fulfilling lives– and now works as a transformational life coach to be a catalyst for precisely such transformations.

Jonathan is passionate about supporting clients and audiences in transcending external accomplishments as measures of success to live truly aligned, rewarding, and meaningful lives.

As a coach, consultant, and speaker, Jonathan draws on decades of experience teaching diverse audiences. He is trained in Emotional Intelligence, Group Coaching, Positive Psychology Coaching, Clear Beliefs Coaching, and Somatic Coaching.

Overlapping his coaching and academic work in powerful and unexpected ways, Jonathan is also passionate about and has worked as a photographer and partnered dance instructor. He is now primarily focusing on Brazilian zouk.

Jonathan operates as a transformational life coach, consultant, and speaker - supporting clients and audiences to transcend external measures of success to live significant and fulfilling lives.
