Jodi Sta. Maria now a Positive Psychology Coach

August 6 ------ Jodi Sta. Maria has added another feather to her cap, this time becoming a Positive Psychology Coach after earning her certification. "Another tool in the tool kit. Officially a Positive Psychology Coach. Here’s to helping others thrive from the inside out," she announced on her Instagram Stories as she posted a snapshot of her certificate.

Positive psychology coaching is a "scientifically rooted approach to helping clients increase well-being, enhance and apply strengths, improve performance, and achieve valued goals," according to Kauffman, Boniwell, and Silberman (2010) as cited by positivepsychology.com.

In an interview back in February, Jodi remarked that she was determined to pursue her Master's Degree despite her busy schedule. "Isa 'yan sa mga bagay na kino-consider kong importante sa buhay ko eh. Ang Master's naman you just go to school once or twice a week so mas maluwag 'yung schedule kaya marami rin akong mga bagay na nagagawa," she said in an interview with the media as uploaded on MJ Marfori's YouTube channel.

The Kapamilya star shared that she was looking forward to creating an extension study of her thesis back in college titled "The Impact of the NADA Protocol (Ear Acudetox) on the Anxiety Level of People Working in Television Production." "Now I am really excited for my [future] paper because it's going to be an extension study of this paper," she relayed.
