Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Should I dial this back?" or "Is this dream realistic?" -  then end up stuck in the same place, unsure whether to chase a big vision or stay within comfortable limits?   In today's episode, we take on this exact tension: learning how to think bigger without disconnecting from practicality. I talk about why most of us vacillate between dreaming too small and imagining things that feel unrealistic, and we'll unpack the mindset that keeps dreams small and debunk the fear that thinking big means ignoring reality.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gFz4KKea128   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/573   Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

What if striving for perfection is actually holding you back? So many of us have been taught that A+ effort is the only acceptable standard, but what if constantly pushing for perfect results is draining your energy, limiting your growth, and keeping you from moving forward?   In this episode, I'm diving into the concept of aiming for B- work and why it can actually be more effective than trying to do everything perfectly. I share examples from work, parenting, and personal growth to show how loosening the grip on perfection can help you take consistent action, create momentum, and avoid burnout. We'll explore why giving yourself permission to do "good enough" in the moment often leads to better long-term results.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9_EoPa_EaAM   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/571   Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Why does this always happen to me?"   Feeling stuck or powerless can sneak in when we least expect it, and it often shows up as victim mentality. It's a natural part of being human, but the cost is real.    Tune in this week as I break down what victim mentality actually is, why we all fall into it from time to time, and how it affects both your own choices and the behavior of the people around you.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ld1LkfCkr-M Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/569 Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

What if strengthening your mind was just as important as strengthening your body? Most of us know how to build physical strength. We exercise, improve our nutrition, and challenge our muscles over time. But very few people think about intentionally strengthening their minds, even though doing so can dramatically improve how they feel, how they show up, and what they create in their lives.   In this episode, I explore what it really means to be mentally strong and why mental strength is less about toughness and more about your ability to direct your mind in ways that serve you.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/g9a_tqz4NWc   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/568   Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/  

What if the biggest breakthroughs in your life require you to do the exact opposite of what your brain wants to do? Most people think success comes from playing it safe, avoiding embarrassment, fitting in, and trying to get things "right" the first time. But the people who create extraordinary results are usually willing to do things that feel uncomfortable, awkward, risky, or even unpopular.   In this episode, I walk you through 12 power moves that can completely change the way you approach growth, success, relationships, and personal development. I'll show you how many of the boldest and most life-changing moves are the exact opposite of what your primitive brain tells you to do.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6CQp-AjgnjY   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/567   Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is the energy you're bringing to it? It's easy to blame circumstances, timing, or lack of confidence when things aren't working out the way we hoped. But often, the real issue is that we're showing up cautiously, hesitantly, or half committed while expecting meaningful results in return.           In this episode, I break down what I mean when I say your energy is creating your results. I talk about why so many people want more in their lives while still bringing minimal emotional energy, vulnerability, or effort to the process. You'll learn how this shows up in business, dating, personal growth, and everyday life, and why being willing to try before you're good at something is one of the most important parts of growth.      Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EcG7KyAgprs      Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/566      Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/
