541. Better Than Busy

541. Better Than Busy

Author: Jody Moore November 28, 2025 Duration: 40:14

Do people constantly tell you, "You must be so busy"? Maybe they mean it as a compliment, like you're so productive and accomplished. But here's what I've discovered: being busy is exhausting, and it's no way to live your life.

 

In this episode, I challenge the cultural badge of honor we've made out of being busy and offer you a different way to approach your life - one where you can do all the things you want without the exhaustion, stress, and overwhelm that typically comes with a full life.

 

Listen in this week to discover how to create a better-than-busy life, and practical strategies for shifting from a depleted, frantic energy to one that actually energizes you as you move through your day. I'll show you how to work with your brain instead of against it, why you should plan your own needs first (not last), and how changing your thoughts about everyday situations can completely transform your experience.

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.
