Author: Jody Moore May 15, 2026 Duration: 34:50

When life feels heavy, uncertain, or full of struggle, it can seem almost impossible, or even wrong, to prioritize your own peace, happiness, and joy. But the truth is, being happy in an unhappy world isn't about ignoring reality. It's about learning how to intentionally create an emotional life that serves you, even when circumstances around you feel difficult.

In this episode, I break down seven powerful strategies for finding happiness, empowerment, and emotional strength no matter what is happening externally. If you're tired of your happiness depending on what's happening in the world around you, this episode is for you.

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.
