Nobody’s Darlings is a podcast created to ignite discussions and community around unhealthy relationship experiences, recognizing them, and dealing with their affects.
Hosts Jodi & Laurie believe that silence protects offenders and perpetuates bad behavior, so we want to get loud. Our goal is to set the stage for others to tell their stories and find comfort in knowing that they aren’t alone. We’ll also reference examples in society at large, as well as take time to laugh (often in a self-deprecating manner), find the positive, and reflect on how far we’ve come.

She’s now committed to providing a safe and transparent space where individuals who have gone through similar experiences can share, commiserate, learn, laugh, cry, and grow.

Jodi Dudek
Jodi is a creative director and self-diagnosed Renaissance Soul who loves a good adventure, hanging with her senior pug, absorbing live music, and a balanced dinner of champagne & oysters. While she’s quick to admit to egregious decisions that she’s made in past relationships, Jodi believes that this helps to bring an important perspective to conversations, and a truly empathetic approach. It’s been her passion to listen to others’ stories, and now help bring them into a healing light.
