532. When Hope Is Useful and When It’s Not

From hoping for good weather to hoping our business succeeds, “hope” is a word we throw around constantly. But there's a critical difference between these two scenarios that most people miss. One puts you in the passenger seat of your life, while the other pretends you're not even holding the steering wheel.   Here's the truth: hope isn't always your friend. Sometimes, it's actually keeping you from taking powerful action in your life. If you've been feeling stuck in a “hope" cycle, constantly wishing for better results but not seeing them, this episode is your wake-up call.   Tune in this week as I break down exactly when hope is useful and when it’s not.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/532

531. A Story Is Worth 1000 Pictures

Stories shape us more profoundly than facts ever could. A public speaking coach once told me that if a picture is worth a thousand words, a story is worth a thousand pictures. We rarely remember the actual tactics from lessons or speeches, but the stories stay with us.    Earlier this year, I brought in a storytelling coach to lead a workshop for coaches and content creators. We spent the day in this beautiful library room in Oceanside, California, listening to stories, telling stories, and learning what makes stories truly impactful. The experience was so profound that I invited workshop attendees to submit stories for the podcast, and I couldn't choose just one - I had to share three.   Listen in today to hear from three remarkable women - Michelle Reyes, Jennifer Townsend, and Noreen Noble - who will share insights from our storytelling workshop along with their own powerful stories.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/531

Our brains generate around 70,000 thoughts per day, and we can't control all of them.

You'll discover why fighting against unwanted thoughts actually makes them stronger, how to use your brain's natural tendencies to your advantage, and why sometimes the simplest solutions are the most powerful.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/527
