522. Why I Went On and Off GLP-1

The constant swirl of opinions, research, and personal stories around GLP-1 medications has created a perfect storm of confusion for anyone considering this path. Between the people who swear by it, those who condemn it as "cheating," and doctors recommending it left and right, the noise can be overwhelming.   Tune in this week as I share my own journey with GLP-1 this year, from the 20-pound weight loss and stabilized glucose levels to the surprising reasons I ultimately chose to stop. You'll learn how to make clean decisions about controversial health choices, manage others' opinions without letting them derail you, and most importantly, how to separate morality from medicine when it comes to your own body.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/522

Friendship comes with expectations we don't even realize we carry. When someone we've known for years suddenly changes how they interact with us, or when differences create distance, the pain feels real and personal. Yet beneath these friendship struggles lies something more fundamental - our unexamined beliefs about what friendship actually means.   This week, I explore why friendship is actually a thought, not a fact, and how this perspective shift can transform your relationships. Through a caller's question about losing friends and struggling to make new connections, I unpack the hidden expectations we place on friendships.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/521

Most of us dream about superpowers that would save us time and energy - the ability to be in multiple places at once, to control outcomes, or to accomplish more with less effort.   But this desire reveals something deeper about our human nature: we're designed to make an impact.    Tune in this week for a replay episode where you’ll learn practical ways to move beyond the seven common obstacles that keep most people stuck in crisis or consumption mode. And I share why making an impact through creation isn't just something nice to do, but is essential for living at your highest potential.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/520

When your spouse doesn't open up, doesn't communicate the way you want, or seems emotionally unavailable, it's easy to believe that connection is impossible. This is a story many women tell themselves. But what if this belief is actually what keeps you stuck in frustration and resentment?   In this replay episode, I sit down with my mentor Brooke Castillo to explore a radically different approach to marriage.   We dig into why feeling connected to your spouse has nothing to do with whether they share their feelings or help with the dishes. Brooke shares her philosophy on unconditional love and why she believes your spouse's only job is to be there for you to love them - not to meet your needs or follow your manual for how a good spouse should behave.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/519

AI can crank out a week's worth of content in seconds. But just because you can doesn't mean you should.   The same tool that promises to revolutionize your coaching business might be quietly eroding the foundation it's built on: trust with your clients.   In this episode, I share specific ways to harness AI's benefits without sacrificing your authentic voice. You'll discover how to co-create with AI rather than delegate to it, when disclosure builds more trust than convenience, and why the future might demand more live, face-to-face interaction than ever before.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/518

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to grow stronger through their challenges while others stay stuck in their pain? The difference isn't in what happened to them - it's in how they processed it.   This week, I explore the critical difference between letting painful experiences continue to hurt us in the form of trauma, versus transforming them into wisdom that makes us stronger. Drawing from both coaching experience and personal stories, I break down specific strategies for processing difficult moments from our past in a way that serves our growth rather than limits our potential.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/516

What role do you play in the world? Rather than seeing ourselves as separate from the problems or challenges around us, we must recognize that we're active contributors to everything from family dynamics to economic trends.   In this episode, I break down how awareness of our involvement creates more patience, understanding, and connection with others. Through this lens, we discover our power to become part of the solution rather than unconsciously contributing to problems.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/515

I just wrapped up a powerful coaching session with a fellow coach who's stuck, spinning, and second-guessing everything she’s doing. After helping her uncover the brain drama at the root of her problem, I decided to share that coaching session right here on the podcast.    Tune in this week as I help my client identify the specific thought patterns keeping her stuck, and learn practical ways to talk back to your brain when you’re spinning in indecision.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/514

Disclaimer: this episode touches on mental health, addiction, and suicide.   What if the most meaningful chapter of your life hasn't even begun yet? Many women think their most important work is behind them once their children are grown. However, my guest this week believes this mindset is not only limiting but potentially harmful to our relationships, our families, and our communities.    In this eye-opening conversation with inspiring philanthropist and mother of six Kristin Andrus, we explore why women should be expanding rather than contracting in the second half of life. As someone who has built a life around contribution rather than duty, Kristin offers refreshing insights on finding purpose beyond the traditional roles we've been assigned.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/513
