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.

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. Turn...
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. There is no room in your life or mine for this. The post Ep 63. How to Say No appeared first on Jody Moore .
If you haven’t heard Dr. Finlayson-Fife’s message before you are in for a real treat. On today’s episode I interview her and she talks to us about our sexuality in the context of our religious beliefs. She offers useful advice about how to best teach children about their sexuality and the law of chastity without shaming or creating potential problems later in life. We discuss pornography, what to do if you are married and feeling a lack of desire, and other insight related to this topic. The pos...
Do you consume more than you create? We consume thing like food, clothing, housewares, electronics, information, entertainment, social media and much more. A part of you desires to contribute something in the world in order to give a part of yourself and feel connected to the greater whole. The post Ep 61. Creation and Consumption appeared first on Jody Moore .

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 Persevera...
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 ...
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. When Your Husband Leav...

What does it mean to "find yourself" and is that a worthy endeavor or just an excuse people use for otherwise unusual behavior? This episode is all about why knowing yourself is an important part of intentional living and some simple exercises you can try if you want to know yourself better. The post Ep 53. 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 a...
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 sol...
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 E...

We talk about "mommy guilt" like it's just something that comes with the role of being a mom. But it's not. It's not necessary and it's not helpful. It doesn't allow inspiration to find you. It keeps you blocked and frustrated and disconnected. Today I break down why it's a prevalent problem and help you think about it differently. The post Ep 46. Zero Mommy Guilt appeared first on Jody Moore ....
We're here to be tested. Or are we? Didn't we all fail the test right away? There is no passing of the test. That's why I like to think about it differently. If you're not sure what a Mastermind is, neither was I until recently but check out today's episode and see if you agree with me. This life is a mastermind, not a test. The post Ep 45. Life Is a Mastermind, Not a Test appeared first on Jody Moore ....
This is not a typical podcast episode. It's a talk I recorded especially for the young women of the Saint George 5th ward who will be listening to this under the starts at Girls Camp in a few weeks. I love sharing this message with youth and only wish I could be there in person. Have a lovely week girls and I'm hoping putting this out on iTunes will give some other youth a chance to hear it as well. The post Bonus Episode: Girls Camp Message appeared first on Jody Moore ....
"I just want my husband to be happy." This sounds good and innocent and selfless. And sometimes it is. But many times it causes more problems for us (and our husbands) than we might realize. But never fear. I have some solutions for you today. Tune in to learn about the steps you can go through to get to the place where you will find peace which is, "I want him to be happy but I don't need him to be happy." Seriously. Amazing.

Hey there stay at home mom and others. Are you exhausted? Is there one big reason why or is it a bunch of little things that are hard to identify and even tougher to change? The way most people go about making decisions adds a tremendous amount of exhaustion and self doubt. In today's episode I'll explain some alternative ways to make decisions. Even the big ones.

Emotions can be like a pebble dropped in the water and there is a ripple effect. Sometimes in life we need to feel sad or disappointed or bad in some way. But many times we layer additional negative emotions to them that keep us stuck. Anger, resistance, worry and guilt are secondary emotions that we invite when we don't pay attention. Today I'll talk to you about this cycle and how to stop getting stuck in it. The post Ep 41. Layering Emotions appeared first on Jody Moore ....

I never give parenting advice. Usually. Ok sometimes I do. Today I am. Kids are very open to this work because they aren't so hard wired. They are still developing belief systems and they are highly influenced by you. Today I'm giving you 5 areas to think about so you can be intentional in the beliefs you offer to your kids. You won't want to miss this one. The post Ep 39. Parenting with Thought Work appeared first on Jody Moore ....
Worry much? Wanna know why? Worry is one emotion that is never helpful and never necessary. Many people tell me they don't want to worry but they feel they can't help it.

Then I have a few things you can try out the next time you find yourself worrying about anything. The post Ep 38. Don’t Fall for Worry appeared first on Jody Moore ....
