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.

Overcoming Through Accountability
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today my guest is the phenomenal Sondra Ray. Sondra is a Goal Accountability Coach who helps her clients every step, from clarifying their zone of genius to celebrating their success and tweaking plans as needed.
As a mom of 5 with two bonus kids, Sondra has learned how to manage time and many goals simultaneously. Sondra is passionate about accountability because it has helped her achieve major health, family, and career goals. Sondra admits that ten years ago, she was a much different person. Even two years ago, you wouldn’t recognize her. Stressed, busy, trying to do too many things at once and not effective at any of them, Sondra held herself accountable and took back control of my life, and now she helps others to do the same!
Here are the many ways to connect with Sondra:
