Jodie Eckleberry-Hunt, Ph.D., A.B.P.P., is a board-certified health psychologist, executive coach, author, and highly sought-after keynote speaker with more than 20 years of experience guiding individuals through life's curves and bends with truth, humor, and scientifically backed solutions.

Her style is refreshingly down-to-earth—Jodie blends cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based interventions with a dash of irreverence and humor, holding the belief that healing occurs best when we can be real about our difficulties and even laugh at them.

Jodie's professional experience encompasses clinical practice, health leadership, medical education, and professional development. She has served in diverse leadership roles within healthcare, the classroom, and grant-funded research projects. Her great loves are leadership coaching, inspirational writing, and facilitating complex self- and team-development workshops.

Jodie is an author as well, whose books strike a balance between vulnerability, relatability, and a determination to confront the ugly aspects of life head-on. Her speaking and writing are characterized by an urge to demystify mental health, break down stigma, and assist individuals in outsmarting their inner critics—with a dash of strategically placed swearing thrown in for good measure. Outside of work, Jodie is a recovering control freak, people pleaser, and worrier; a mom, partner, and dog mom. She lives in Michigan, where she considers exercise to be her best and worst hobby.
