508. When You're Afraid to Leap: A Coaching Session

508. When You're Afraid to Leap: A Coaching Session

Author: Jody Moore April 11, 2025 Duration: 38:41

Have you ever felt that surge of fear right before taking a big leap in your life? That moment when you're about to launch a course, get married, or make a major life change—and suddenly your brain floods with doubt, worry, and resistance?

 

In this coaching session, I work with a dietitian who is days away from launching her course but finds herself paralyzed by fear. We explore how to have a rational, compassionate dialogue with the fearful part of our brains, how to answer the questions your mind throws at you, and why shifting your focus from yourself to those you're trying to help can be the most powerful antidote to fear.

Hosted by Jody Moore, Better Than Happy explores a simple but profound idea: the pursuit of happiness might actually be limiting us from the richer, more purposeful lives we're designed for. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a grounded conversation about the tangible skills we need to navigate being human. Each episode digs into the real-world application of principles that touch on everything from personal relationships and physical health to managing emotions, building confidence, and even navigating entrepreneurship and finances. You'll hear practical tools and candid discussions that address the full spectrum of our experiences, all through a lens that thoughtfully integrates faith and spirituality. The aim is to move beyond just feeling good in the moment and toward building a life of authentic meaning and resilience. Tune in to this podcast for a fresh perspective that challenges conventional self-help narratives, offering actionable insights for taking your current situation, whatever it may be, and thoughtfully steering it toward what comes next.
