Naw...I don't think Jodi thinks she's a life coach. I think Jodi gives what she has, and she tries. I think Jodi tries to show up for the other hg's and she tries to support them. Just the other day Christie was saying how Jodi was being so supportive of her regarding brainstorming the 5K, and then today it was totally opposite.

If Jodi's trying to be a LC, when did Christie become a psychologist? Christie was playing the "passive" game, then she got in the camera talking about Jodi being controlling and that the "mask" was back. All those women had the same opportunity Jodi had with the guest handywomen. It was their choice to hang back and not participate.

As far as the "tool exercise" went, sure Jodi could have stepped back and somebody else could have stepped up like Christie, but she didn't and why should Jodi step back? Everybody in the room was an adult, they could have spoken up and/or disagreed. Instead of DOING something, Christie got in the camera and started complaining. Also Christie and all of them sat in group and didn't say one word when Iyanla asked them how the task went. Cassie being the oldest hg in age and SO experience, where were her tools?

I agree with the poster who said something to the effect that Christie was just being manipulative. To some degree I think Christie is truly envious of Jodi's confidence, aggressiveness, and her ability to just step up to the plate. When a man's aggressive it's considered a good thing, but not for a woman.

I know Jodi can be controlling, and I have mixed feelings about that especially because in this case she was in a group of passive women. Antonia wasn't there, and to me she's not passive. I think Christie should just come clean about the fact that she probably wishes she had some of the qualities Jodi has. Jodi is a strong woman. I think Christie wishes she was. Christie can get there, but it's not by way of manipulating, gossip, and passivity...although I know that has worked for some, it's just not of integrity IMHO.

But then again, maybe if the handywomen had handed Christie a hammer she mighta knocked Jodi upside the head...Lawd knows Christie said she had some experience with that....
