Better Than Happy

Judgement never serves us. It's small minded and fear based and toxic for our Spirits in the long run. Discernment on the other hand is wise and loving and useful to help us feel more love, protect ourselves, and deliberately create the lives we want. Check out today's episode to minimize judgement and increase discernment. The post Ep 104. Discernment appeared first on Jody Moore .

You know that feeling. Your lip starts quivering and despite your best effort you're unable to stop the waterworks. Crying is an automated response to intense emotion and it's a part of our humanness. It's nothing we need to apologize for. Our natural response is to begin worrying about what other people think or to tell ourselves to stop but neither of these is going to be helpful. Instead, just...

What makes us feel The Spirit? Is it doing things like reading our scriptures, saying prayers or going to the temple? If we don't feel it does it mean we aren't allowing it or that it's just not there? What if I'm doing all the right things but I'm not feeling close to God? Today I'm going to teach you what creates that feeling and I hope to correct the way we talk and think about this important p...

After working with hundreds of women on improving themselves and their lives I find that there is a lot of confusion about self compassion and self pity. Self pity keeps you stuck and is extremely disempowering and generally leaves us overwhelmed and hopeless. Self compassion on the other hand gets us moving in the right direction, brings us out of hiding and helps us redirect in a useful way. The...

Did you know that when you take some time to retrain your brain to think loving, kind, compassionate thoughts about yourself, you end up thinking about yourself less often?

Today I'm talking with fellow LDS Life Coach Kim Giles of Clarity Point Coaching. Kim's teachings were one of the first I discovered when I began my own journey as a coach and I am thrilled to get to share her with you today. We dive into the idea that life is a test and Kim explains that while doctrinally this is correct, in reality life is actually a classroom. The post Ep 99. Individual Worth w...

Today I want to reframe the way you think about failure. I want to clear up the misunderstanding most people have about what it is, what causes it and what it means about us and our lives. I also want to talk to you specifically about the question many moms have, "What if I am failing at being a mom?"; I am all for doing better but I want you to make those changes from a place of empowerment rathe...

Let's face it. Most of us are approval addicts. When other people adore us we give ourselves permission to believe we are worthy of adoration. This is only a problem when someone doesn't adore us or is mad at us. Today I want to give you some tools and knowledge about why this is a challenge and what to do to find some relief from that tricky part of your brain that wants to tell you that this is...

Your marriage is the most prevalent relationship in your life. When you are happy in it, your life feels happy. When it's difficult, your life feels difficult. Human nature is to believe that what's preventing happiness in our marriages has to do with how our spouse behaves or feels or treats us. This is never true. It is always up to us what we want to experience and the feelings driving us will...

Today I'd like to introduce you to a fellow coach and dear friend of mine Molly Claire. She's a phenomenal coach and she has some great insight to offer to us about some of the traps we fall into as mothers. With the best of intentions, many parents are not deliberately conscious of what is our responsibility and what is not. We are taking on our kids' success and emotions in a way that is harmful...

Today I'm sharing another real coaching call with a real client. Danielle is having trouble maintaining the schedule she outlined for herself and to make matters worse she feels pressure from her husband to do a better job.

If you've been listening to the podcast you know logically that other people do not have the control over our emotions that we tend to believe they do. But why is it so difficult to remember this? Why does it feel like they absolutely do make us feel things? Today we're taking a closer look at "difficult people" in particular and I'm giving you some specific examples and concrete steps to try out...

Today I'm coaching another member of the Be Bold Community. This time Kassie talks to us about the roller coaster many of us know well when it comes to our health and weight. Do I keep trying to lose the weight or do I just be kind and compassionate toward myself and accept my body as is. Listen as I coach her on how to keep working on her goal without creating more shame and overwhelm around this...

Today I'm talking to you about the action that you take in your life. When there is a problem to solve or a goal you want to reach, I'm all for taking action…but first I want you to pay attention to the emotions that are fueling your action. The emotions fueling you will determine how effective your action is and what the result is that you get from that action. I want your fuel to be as empowerin...

We're told that when we do what we're commanded, we are blessed. Today I'm sharing with you how the way the human brain functions and what we know about human behavior is a solid case for these blessings being automated when God created us.

If you're new to the podcast this is a great first episode to introduce you to this work. These are the 5 lies about how the world works that most people don't realize are lies. Most people operate under the assumption these things are true and it causes a lot of unnecessary suffering, frustration, resentment and keeps us from reaching our full potential. The post Ep 87. New Listener? Start Here:...

I'm so excited for you to listen to this coaching session. I believe listening to coaching will help you take what you're learning here on this podcast to the next level. It's the direct application of this work.

Love and hate are powerful emotions. Many of us don't experience them at their extremes very often. But they have relatives known as like and dislike and many others. Today I'm challenging you to think about what you are creating in the world. Are you creating more love or more hate?  The post Ep 83. Love and Hate appeared first on Jody Moore .

Brooke teaches us more about connection and love, what creates them in our minds, and how to feel more of both in our marriages. She explains how to feel whatever you want even if your husband doesn't do what you wish he would do. Brooke is an amazing teacher and dear friend and I can't...
