She reflects on how Toastmasters shaped her identity as a public speaker after years of speaking for charity in Nepal and for women's empowerment in London. Joining Toastmasters in 2018, Jody quickly excelled, winning district contests in Table Topics and Evaluations, and twice reaching the Semifinalists on the World Stage of Public Speaking. She attributes her success to the unwavering support of her Toastmasters club and mentors, as well as her own inner growth and alignment with purpose.

Jody now lives in Bali, where she’s building a new chapter following a major life transition. She’s growing her movement, Alchemy Queen, supporting women to step into their authentic voice and transform their lives through coaching and holistic alchemy practices.
