I’ve pulled some of the questions sent in by listeners and I’m answering them for you on today’s episode. These questions were selected because of the relevance I know they’ll have for so many of you listening. I’ll answer questions such as: “Where should I begin when I need a complete life make-over?

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 to minimize the impact of any difficult people in your life. The post Ep 91. Difficult People appeared first on Jody Moore.

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.

Listen as I coach her on how to keep working on her goal without creating more shame and overwhelm around this challenging topic. The post Ep 90. Jody Coaches Kassie on Body Image and Weight Tools appeared first on Jody Moore.

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 empowering as possible. Tune in today for more explanation and specific examples. The post Ep 89. What’s Fueling Your Action? appeared first on Jody Moore.

We’re told that when we do what we’re commanded, we are blessed.

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.

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.

Today I am so thrilled to have Brooke Castillo join me on the podcast to talk about connection in your marriage. Brooke teaches us more about connection and love, what creates them in our minds, and how to feel more of both in our marriages.

Brooke is an amazing teacher and dear friend and I can’t wait for you to hear her thoughts on this topic. The post Ep 82. Brooke Castillo on Connection in Your Marriage appeared first on Jody Moore.

Your brain thinks that the things that happen in your life should be filtered through the lense, “How does this affect me?” This self interested position is not only unnecessary, it keeps us stuck, inhibits our relationships, limits our parenting and causes many other problems. But when we remember to tell ourselves, “It’s not about you,” we get to live the higher, more fulfilled life we are meant for. The post Ep 81. It’s Not About You appeared first on Jody Moore.

Do you have a goal? I’m not talking about the to do list or the things you wish were habits but aren’t yet. I mean a big, scary goal or a dream.

Jody Coaches Amanda on Fostering Confidence appeared first on Jody Moore.

All of us have moments when we feel like a victim. A part of us finds some relief or validation in identifying this way. But for some people, victim mentality becomes a dominant personality trait leaving them constantly delegating responsibility for their emotional lives to people and things outside of them.  The post Ep 79. Victim Mentality appeared first on Jody Moore.

To be vulnerable means to expose your weaknesses in such a way that you risk being harmed. No wonder we don’t like it. We didn’t get this far as a species by being vulnerable. But the truth is allowing ourselves to be vulnerable is how we truly connect with one another and as Brene Brown teaches, connection is what we are here for. Today I'm teaching you more about vulnerability and how to get more comfortable letting your representative take a back seat when it's appropriate. The post Ep 76. Vulnerability appeared first on Jody Moore.

I’m so excited about this episode. I have some great content for you dealing with why it’s so difficult to change the results in our lives.

Ever feel like there isn’t enough time? Like you’re too busy? Like you missed a deadline? Time is like money in that it’s easy to develop a scarcity mindset around.

Do you have that voice in your head that cares about what other people think? Ever wish you didn’t? Well, the truth is it’s human nature and not caring at all isn’t actually healthy.

This is the final episode in the clean parenting series and it’s packed with goodness. As a parent, you are a leader and good leadership skills can help create the results you want in your home and your family.

Our children are here on earth to experience an entire range of emotions and as parents it can be heartbreaking to watch. But for your child (and for yourself) resisting emotion actually feels much worse than just allowing and processing it. Most of us were taught to resist it as children and when we try to talk our kids out of feeling bad we're passing on that same harmful message. Today I'm teaching you how to help them process it at any age in the hopes you will give your children this gift. The post Ep 69.

You’ve heard of clean eating and how good it is for your body. Getting rid of toxins and chemicals and all the things that are not natural or good for us in the end?

Our energy is like time or money in that it is in limited supply at any given time and it's something I want you to consider using wisely and investing to get a return on when you can. Many of us don't pay attention to where we are putting our energy and this lack of intention will not always create the life and feelings you want to have. The post Ep 66. Politics and Energy appeared first on Jody Moore.

We all have interactions and events in our lives that help mold and shape us in profound ways. Sometimes they affect us in positive, empowering ways and sometimes they impact us negatively and keep us from progressing and feeling confident about ourselves and our world. I call these turning points. Turning points usually have a significant amount of emotion attached and cause us to realize that something we thought was true isn’t or to consider something we never had before. The post Ep 65. Turning Points appeared first on Jody Moore.

Sometimes we’re grateful that other people are good at things we’re not good at. Other times we wonder why everyone isn’t like us and at times we even find it very annoying and inconvenient. But we are all different and of course this is a good thing.  The post Ep 64. Strengths and Weaknesses appeared first on Jody Moore.

Sometimes it’s hard to say no but failing to do so can lead to a life that is less than authentic. In fact it’s living in dishonesty or at the least without full integrity for yourself and others.

Failure. Most of us are afraid of it. Most of us have spent much of our lives avoiding or even running from it. Today we’ll explore and de-bunk the main reasons why it feels so scary including that it triggers both of our core fears. We’ll also take a look at how failure only lies in your definition of success and in fact the opposite of failure is not success, but perseverance. But what if you understood that failure lives in the same neighborhood as success? The post Ep 59. What Does Perseverance Mean: Failing Up appeared first on Jody Moore.

This week in Take Tuesday I sent out a message asking, “why?” I wanted to know why you’re thinking of your life as overwhelming and unfair and hard. We describe our lives this way as though we are just stating facts but the truth is all of it is the story we are telling ourselves and that story becomes our reality. Why would you want your reality to be so full of suffering and so lacking in joy? The post Ep 58. I Want to Know Why appeared first on Jody Moore.

Homework. Kids hate it. Teachers probably hate it. Most parents I know hate it. But whether or not we agree, it looks like most schools are going to keep offering homework. Given that, there are 3 valuable lessons your kids can learn from homework and they have nothing to do with Math or Spelling. Homework provides a perfect scenario to teach them that they don't "have" to do anything. Secondly it allows them to learn time management. The post Ep 57. Should Kids Have Homework? appeared first on Jody Moore.

When Your Faith is Wavering To have faith is to choose to think thoughts that will never be proven in this lifetime. We think about faith in a religious context but there are actually many things we have faith in every day. If you are a logical, analytical thinker your mind will naturally want to see how things add up. If you are a more organic, creative thinker faith might come easier. The post Ep 56. When Your Faith is Wavering appeared first on Jody Moore.

We all grow up hoping for happily ever after but knowing that life is full of challenges and unexpected turns. When your husband decides he no longer believes in the religion you both have practiced, it can be an all-consuming challenge that can wreck havoc on your marriage, your confidence, and the dynamic in your home. OR, it can be a way to provide your children an amazing opportunity, a chance to truly discover who you are and an opportunity to connect. The post Ep 55.

What does it mean to "find yourself" and is that a worthy endeavor or just an excuse people use for otherwise unusual behavior?

Finding Yourself: Discovering What Defines You appeared first on Jody Moore.

Everything you feel that is keeping you stuck is based on one of the two core fears I'm going to teach you about today. All bad behavior from yourself or other people is rooted in these same two core fears. The first is the fear of unworthiness and the second is the fear of missing out. The post Ep 52. Core Fears: Unworthiness and Missing Out appeared first on Jody Moore.

You don’t want to yell at your kids because you don’t like being “that mom” and you also don’t believe it’s good for them in the long run. But sometimes you just lose your patience and some days it’s harder than others. There is a reason for this. It’s your lower brain. Your lower brain memorizes behaviors, thoughts and feelings and repeats them. It’s concerned with immediate survival and helping you get more of what is pleasurable and avoid what is painful. The post Ep 51. How to Stop Yelling at Your Kids appeared first on Jody Moore.

This episode comes in response to questions from listeners about how to connect more deeply with other and how to feel comfortable when you're new and feeling excluded. It's human nature to want to be liked and noticed. But when we operate from a place of needing to be liked we open ourselves up to rejection and are less than authentic which is not an attractive trait. The post Ep 50. How to Make Friends appeared first on Jody Moore.

I'm sharing some insight about stress, hunger, and fatigue. Ever wonder if some of it is just in your mind? Or all of it? What is the difference? When you understand the difference between sensations and emotions (even when they feel the same) you'll know how to find a remedy that truly addresses the cause of your problem. Failing to recognize the true problem means your remedy is only a distraction and might have adverse consequences like weight gain, lack of motivation or inability to find solutions. The post Ep 49. Sensations and Emotions appeared first on Jody Moore.

As human beings we all have needs and we all have wants. There is nothing selfish or wrong with any of it. But many of us feel our wants and needs just happen to us and we believe that if people and things outside of us changed, we would have those desires fulfilled. I have found tremendous peace in realizing I can want things without needing them. Especially when it comes to other people's behaviors. Wanting and needing are not the same thing and your desires are within your control. The post Ep 48. Wanting Without Needing appeared first on Jody Moore.
