One of the BEST thought leaders out there in the “being a human” space. Jody, please have your team cut this stuff into infinite clips and bombard all the platforms. YouTube, TikTok… you are so right on and more people are just waiting to binge your podcast and join your programs. edited my comment in 2025 after the “should” episode, which is a banger. And yes, I do realize the irony of telling you that you should market more. 😂 But flood the airwaves, baby! Edit July 2025: speaking of the lack of motivation on GLP1. This is why I actually don’t trust most self help advice — Jocko has way too much testosterone to be able to speak for ANYONE. but this is also true for women. Hormones seem to be everything. It’s crazy. I can’t adjust my hormones because I had hormone sensitive cancer. So I do ADD meds which make my mood unstable. But at least I feel something and can get work done. Oh well!

I find this completely disingenuous to replay this episode without the acknowledgment from Jody that Brooke Castillo since this episode originally aired has been divorced and is planning on remarrying someone else. It is great advice but the way that Brookes divorced was pushed under the rug baffles me, as she is the original life coach and could have all sorts of advice and whys of divorce.

I recently discovered Jody Moore’s podcast. And I had previously bought one of her audiobooks on Audible. I had spent some time with a therapist and was looking forward to getting some direction from a life coach. I went back to the beginning of her podcasts and started with episode 1 in 2015, working to current episodes in 2025, over 500 total episodes. After listening to about 70 podcasts, which I mostly enjoyed, I decided to check the reviews as I had previously had a bad experience with another podcaster named Brooke Snow with similar content and ideas to Jody Moore…great content focused on important topics and issues primarily for Christian/ Latter-day Saint women. However, overtime, Brooke Snow’s podcasts became more secular and self-centric focused. Pulling away from the original content and charm that made the early episodes, endearing and helpful. Unfortunately, after reading through many many reviews for Jody Moore, I can see that over time she too seems to be moving in the similar direction as Brooke Snow, who pulled her show and rebranded it as meditative and manifesting type content. And based off of Brooke’s Snow’s last few podcasts the tone and focus had changed considerably from her early content. I had hoped Jody Moore, who seems faithful to her beliefs, would fill the gap for me. However, it does not seem to be the case based off of the reviews I read. I decided to keep the 70 episodes and look for an alternative, hoping to find a more authentic and stable source for this type of self-help.

Ep 519 is weird timing because Brooke and Chris Castillo have been separated/divorced for five years. This was not disclosed before the replay. Brooke is planning to get married to a new person next year, in 2026. The episode without context from Jody kind of seems disrespectful to Brooke’s new marriage. The constant references to the Mormon church exclude the rest of the world from really understanding and appreciating Jody’s message. Her and other people going on about testimonies, missions, wards, church leaders, etc. The newer episodes are less culty with the LDS push, but because of this, the podcast series is not accessible or enjoyable to the majority of the planet. Speaking of god is fine as most people can relate to that or make it their own. Jody is a great coach and that’s why I keep trying to listen. But I find myself skipping parts or entire episodes. I’m constantly searching for a podcast and program similar to Jody’s without all of the religious stuff. Hopefully it won’t get to the point where I just stop listening.

Excellent Episode

I’m not as faithful as I should be but I keep listening to the episodes that work for me. Mostly, ‘ The art of not freaking out’ 😅 Oh brother!…. That is SO me! Thanks Jody, keep up the good work.

Thank you Jody for teaching me tools that continue to help me get out of my own way, get stronger and be more empowered. I’ve done a lot of work over the years and your podcast and program have helped me 10x more than any counseling or other tools have because I realized I didn’t have to live in the past. I got good at feeling negative emotions instead of resisting them or intellectualizing them. Now I’m preparing for your coach training program and will take everything to the next level personally and professionally. Thank you!

This is totally subjective, and I know based on other reviews that people have found Jody’s podcast life-changing. I’ve had experience with effective counseling, and this podcast’s approach feels very different—often confrontational rather than supportive. While Jody seems confident in her methods, the advice given seems to lack the real empathy necessary to make personal growth possible. Instead of fostering self-reflection, many episodes push rigid or overly simplistic solutions that don’t align with evidence-based techniques. If you’re looking for genuine personal development, I’d recommend seeking insights from trained mental health professionals instead of someone who graduated from coaching school.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and Better Than Happy is by far the best. I’ve even gone back and listened from episode one because I find her advice so helpful and actionable. No fluff. I’m not Mormon and can just disregard anything religious which honestly doesn’t come up a ton. Her voice is great and upbeat too which is a big plus with listening. Been listening now for years and her show is the best!

I’ve been a podcast listener since 2016 and a Be Bold/The Lab member since 2017. The other day, I had a truly transformative moment that made me realize just how much this work has shaped me slowly but surely. ( also quick note; I’ve only been coached live one time, in 2018, since then I’ve just been listening to coaching) For some context, I have two sons ( my oldest and second oldest) who came home early from their missions—one after just three months out in the field and the other within days of arriving in the country. Both had their own unique reasons, and my reactions to each situation were different. Neither experience was easy, but I managed to navigate those challenges as best I could, largely thanks to learning from Jody how to self-coach and doing the work. Here’s where the real power of this work showed up for me recently: I’m part of a Facebook group for missionary moms (which, truthfully, I still question why I stay in). I don’t log in often to FB but this time, the first post I saw was from a mom hugging her missionary goodbye, captioned with, “….Worst and hardest day of my life….” At first, my mind went to a snarky place: “Is it, though? Have you had not one, but TWO missionaries come home early—and one tell you he’s stepping away from the church?” But then, something amazing happened. I caught myself, then Instead of spiraling into shame or judgment, instinctively after I noticed the thought, got curious about it, and gave myself grace!!! I recognized that my reaction stemmed from my own life experiences. At the same time, I was able to allow space for this mom’s feelings, understanding that her experience is just as valid as mine. That shift allowed me to move from frustration of my experience “and that’s not hard, you think that’s hard?” to a place of genuine joy for her—that she has a missionary out spreading God’s message of love, even if my experience has been difficult and different. It was a profound and natural moment of growth, and it’s all because of this work. Thank you for giving me the tools to navigate life with more compassion for myself and have a better life experience! Truly BETTER THAN HAPPY!!

Those last couple of minutes in this episode where Jody says if business partners don’t come to a resolution then the one with responsibility gets to choose how to move forward…I wish THIS is how ward councils worked. I wish THIS was a belief held by bishops and other church hierarchy positions. Can Jody rewrite the church handbook?! Please! The Primary President is supposed to be the head of primary, the YW President, same, stop making everyone defer to the Bishop as the President of everyone. I know many wards are collaborating, but the handbook and “how to have a council” trainings leave too much room to interpret that the priesthood title is the deciding factor instead of the actual person doing the actual job….

Jody, I am a Spokane raised girl too! Love your approach and love your podcast. It opened my eyes! I’ve been a listener for 7 years now. Love your stuff! In relation to the gospel I feel like this thought work is laying claim to all my agency. I picture it like taking a broom and sweeping out all thoughts in my brain from all the small spaces and then using my agency. By sweeping it out and bringing it in the light I get to then lay claim to it and exercise my agency in regards to it! I’m claiming all my agency and by so doing I’m claiming all my power! So much freedom!

This podcast has changed the way I think, feel, and act. I always feel so motivated, ready to be an agent to act & not be acted upon after listening. Jody is entertaining, to-the-point, and full of wisdom!!

Jody's podcast is fun and entertaining to listen to but most of all is so incredibly helpful in every aspect of life. It's the one podcast I can't live without and what helps me learn and improve in some way every time I listen. She is thoughtful and kind and truly loves people. It is evident that she does all of this work herself and is always finding new avenues of information to share. It's my #1 recommendation.

I love listening to a podcast each day. I have let fear run the show too much in my life unfortunately. This coaching podcast has helped me think in a more productive way and helped me realize so much about myself. Thank you! I like that you help people in and out of your faith and seem so supportive regardless.

I loved listening to this podcast. It has great mindset techniques and practical tools that I feel like can actually be applied to my life. You can also just tell that Jody has a great heart. Definitely recommend listening!

Such a great show! So many helpful topics that help improve my mindset and show up as the woman I want to be! -Elizabeth

Thank you so much! This podcast has changed my life. I just went though something really hard with a friend then my aunt showed me this podcast and now I listen to it before and after school everyday and I have learned so much and I’m reallly great full that you take the time to do this for so many people.

Thank you for changing the intro and dropping the “little bird…let’s fly” part. I enjoy your show so much for practical life skills, elevating my thoughts and thinking in a new way and the “little bird” part felt condescending. Thanks for dropping that part of the intro!

I love this show!

My most favorite podcast ever! All of this advice is keeping me balanced 🤍🤍✨

Jody thank you so much for the topics you bring up! So many have resinated very deeply with me! There are so many things that you say that just get me to look at things in a different way.

While I understand why she took out her LDS views from her podcast, so she can reach more people. Part of the reason I so much enjoyed her podcast, was because she talked about the LDS faith being a part of her daily life and how it also brought her to being better than happy. Sadly the show has just lost that little bit of extra comfort for me. She still has great material that can be helpful (if it’s not just the business talk). But I miss the old feel and the feel her book had.

This episode almost made me cry. I am Catholic. The responses of “I try to connect with God,” “Ask him where he wants me to be” were such a beautiful responses. Everyone wants solid answers. A thought that crossed my mind is that the heart doesn’t “check boxes,” it “feels.” I know so many wonderful people with good hearts who let a check of a box overrule a feelings in their heart. This was beautiful. Thank you! 🥹💛

This is the podcast I look forward to every week. I enjoyed the conversations that Ramit has with the couples. I don’t think I’ve missed an episode.

I absolutely love this podcast! It’s like free therapy. I’ve grown so much and had so many light bulbs go off in my mind listening to Jody! Can’t recommend it enough!

Just listened to my first episode and really enjoyed the useful tools shared and the way you so gracefully called out and challenged the thoughts while not calling out the person. I loved the examples here on facts vs thoughts. Thank you for the valuable insight.

This podcast is always worth your time and I always prioritize it on my podcast list! You can learn so so much from Jody moore’s free better than happy podcast. I have now been a member of her paid subscription podcast for almost three years and still find the words and lessons incredibly valuable in my life. They have really helped retrain and balance my brain to think about things through the lens of the model she teaches. I am 38 years old and I feel like my maturity has grown exponentially since joining joeys “better than happy, the lab” (originally “be bold” when I joined). Worth every penny.

Five stars. No cost sharing of these tools is very generous. I recommend this podcast to reinforce the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and a number of other models used in a therapist’s office. I do caution (as life coaches recognize) that it is not therapy. If this doesn’t help, if in fact it leads to feeling worse, you might consider working with a licensed professional. Like physical health, sometimes we have a cold and sometimes we have pneumonia. They require different levels of care. If you find you are suffering common emotional cold symptoms, Jody Moore is a great treatment option. Five stars.

Sorry, I crack up inside and somewhat cringe every time I hear, “Are you ready little bird? Then let’s fly!” She probably means it to be cute. I can’t get over how weird of an intro it feels. As a listener, I don’t necessarily like being called a little bird 😜

I love Jody’s podcast, but the interview with Shira Gill really grated on my nerves.. Really? No one was doing Home Organizing or Niche Organizing in the last 15 years? She needed to do MORE research.. the GURU of organization was/is Julie Morgenstern, who has been doing this for 30 YEARS.. and has had four New York Times’ best sellers “Organizing from the Inside Out”, “Time Management from the Inside Out”, “Never Read Email first thing in the Morning” (“Making Work Work was the audio version” and “When Organizing Is Not Enough” (which introduced the SHED process”. She founded TaskMasters more than 20 years ago while trying to find a means to support herself and her daughter after a divorce.. and she started with busy moms and busy people. So SHE was the trailblazer on this organizing area/genre. While I listened to the entire podcast, It really left a bad taste in my mouth with these “The LIFECOACH School” alumni who always act as if they invented the wheel/concept when they did NOT. She actually was describing the SHED process by Julie Morgenstern in this interview.

Jody Moore's podcasts are awesome. I always learn something worthwhile listening. It makes me a better more positive person to listen to and apply the principals she teaches. I have been going through a difficult and challenging time in my life and listening to Jody has been a bright spot in my week. Thank you very much, Jody!

Binge listened to 400 episodes in the last 6 months! Best thing I could do for my emotional health to get me thinking for me instead of against me! Praise you Jodi for using your talents to help others! Hundred times thank you!

Jody, this podcast is ADDICTIVE❣️A friend introduced me to your podcast 3 weeks ago. I started on Episode 1, and just completed your 107th podcast! (I think that I hear your voice through the day more than your family does!) Thanks for coaching me and thousands of others to be “Better than Happy!” Bless you, Jody Moore!

I would have enjoyed the show maybe, but I when I found out that she has no problem flushing live fish down the toilet because she’s too lazy to take of them, I realized this person isn’t someone I want talking in my ear. You lost a listener, a potential client, and I certainly won’t recommend this show. Monster.

Jody is brilliant.

Your podcast has been a huge blessing to me! It has changed my perspective on so many areas of my life and helped me to improve myself and my marriage, while also accepting that I’m still going to be a hot mess sometimes 😜! It also helps me face the future with hope and courage, knowing that I can choose my thoughts about whatever comes. Thank you for the work you are doing. It is making a big difference!

She’s very insightful but after she joined the “pride” movement I couldn’t rely on her credibility anymore.

I have listened to every single episode. Need I say more?

This podcast is awesome. I have learned so much about how to be a better person.

Jodi you are amazing! Love love all your content and I gain clarity from each episode. The emotional health one was especially insightful! But, girl, the new intro music is not good. Sounds like a horror movie.

Love this podcast and all its content! So helpful! One comment that has nothing to do with the content…the new intro music sounds like something from a true crime podcast rather than a podcast about how to be “Better Than Happy”. I know those are my thoughts and what you choose is none of my business but just thought I’d give you some feedback as a long time listener and subscriber in Be Bold. :)

love how real you are and you literally talk about everyday life challenges/ struggles. Especially for new mothers and woman who just want their own identity outside of their children. Thank you!

The things she shares are literally life-changing! Just some of the tidbits she shares is amazing and I feel like I can honor my own feelings and not cause myself so much pain worrying about anyone else’s.

Thanks Jody! I’ve learned so much from you and love listening!! Life changing stuff for sure🙌❤️

I was so ready to listen to this and let my husband know everything he could work on. I was humbled and glad that Jody let me see myself in a new light and that it takes two to have equality. Haha I love the new insight and change in thinking that I get from listening to this podcast. It helps me give myself grace and my husband. Thanks Jody!

I love listening to Jody every week! She helps me simplify and calm down my very active and -sometimes mean to myself- mind. With her help, I’m learning to love myself and love every part of my life; even the hard parts. I love the guests she interviews as well and I’ve started following a few of them! Thank you for sharing your light and goodness with the world Jody!!!

Ugh - I just love her. I started listening to Jody a few years ago, and I knew she was a good one. I Purchased her book. Loved it. I haven’t listened to her podcast as much recently, but just listened to the episode on cliques. She has only gotten better at what she does and she’s so wise and loving. I will never stop listening to what this lady has to say! Love you, Jody. God bless you.

I appreciate the wisdom shared on this podcast. Jody is relatable and doesn’t shy away from the big stuff. I recommend this podcast to those who want to dive deep, learn more about themselves and others and who want to be better humans overall.

I am so impressed with Jody and her podcast. She shows up with such integrity and commitment for her listeners week after week. Her strengths include being kind and honest, her empathy, and her ability to talk about the “hidden” subconscious things that accidentally run our thoughts and lives. Each episode is packed with value. 10/10 recommend!
