Better Than Happy

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Why bother setting goals if I'm just going to be disappointed when I don't hit them?"

Maybe you've decided that instead of chasing achievements, you should just love yourself as you are and be happy right where you're at. Or perhaps you've told yourself that so much is out of your control anyway, why set goals when you can't control the outcome? I get i...

This week, I'm sharing some of the most powerful moments and insights from Better Than Happy this year: concepts that have transformed how my listeners think about mistakes, relationships, success, and personal growth. These aren't just feel-good ideas; they're practical tools that fundamentally shift how you experience your daily life.

Have you ever noticed how much energy you spend trying to avoid failure?

Whether it's in your relationships, your career, or even your health goals, most of us are unconsciously playing to not lose instead of playing to win. The truth is, when we operate from fear and protection mode, we miss out on the extraordinary possibilities available to us. And this week, I'm examining how this cau...

Have you ever wondered why some coaches seem to effortlessly scale their impact and income while others stay stuck small and broke?

After 12 years in the coaching industry, I've seen this pattern play out countless times. The difference isn't talent. It's not certification. And it's definitely not about having the perfect marketing strategy. So, what's the real difference between pro coac...

Did you know that you are meant for joy?

Your purpose, one of your main reasons for existing, is to experience joy. In this episode, I show you why joy isn't created by any conditions outside of you and how this changes everything about how you approach your life. Most of us think we need certain circumstances to feel joy, but what if that's completely backwards?

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 al...

The holiday season brings gatherings with people we love, but sometimes those gatherings include people who push our buttons. Maybe it's that relative who always has something critical to say, or the in-law whose worldview clashes with yours. You know you'll see them at Thanksgiving dinner or the family holiday party, and you're already bracing yourself for the discomfort.

This week, I'm ...

Have you ever felt guilty about wanting more money? Maybe you've been taught that being spiritual means you shouldn't care about wealth beyond your basic needs. Or perhaps you find yourself constantly worried about finances, checking your bank account with dread, and feeling like there's never enough.

Well, what if your faith and your finances aren't meant to be separate? In fact, what if...

Many of us learned early on that being good meant following the rules, keeping everyone happy, and never causing discomfort. So maybe you find yourself saying yes when really, you mean no. Perhaps you agree to host the family gathering, even when you're already overwhelmed, or give in to your teenager's demands because you can't stand their anger.

This week, I'm joined by Dr. Jennifer Fin...

Resentment in marriage often feels like an inevitable part of long-term relationships. That slow burn of frustration when your spouse doesn't help with the dishes, or the familiar irritation when they make plans without checking with you first. These everyday moments can accumulate into something that feels permanent and insurmountable, creating distance between partners who once felt deeply connected.

Ever notice how your brain seems to get stuck in negative thought patterns? Maybe you've been feeling down lately, or perhaps you've noticed yourself complaining more than usual. Maybe you're just tired of feeling like everything is harder than it should be.

Here's the truth: negativity isn't just happening to you. It's being created by your brain. And while that might sound discouraging ...

What if I told you some of your biggest business and life lessons could come from watching Taylor Swift?

Whether you're a devoted Swiftie or not, there's no denying her incredible success. And success leaves clues. When someone achieves the level of impact Taylor Swift has, there's something worth studying beyond the music itself. The patterns, the choices, the way she navigates her world...

Do you believe that if you're too accepting of yourself, you'll never improve? That being hard on yourself is the only way to grow?

If so, you're not alone. This is one of the most common misconceptions I see, and it's holding so many people back from their true potential. This internal battle is exhausting, and it's based on a fundamental misunderstanding about how human beings actually ...

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the good advice out there? You know what I mean. All those strategies, tactics, and mindset tips that are supposed to help you create change in your life… but somehow, you're still stuck.

When you're stuck in a pattern of negative thinking about your business, your health, your relationships, or any challenge in your life, you might think you need to ...

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...

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 ...

Remember your 20s? That time of endless possibilities... and endless uncertainty? Maybe you're in them right now, trying to figure it all out. Or maybe, like me, you look back and think about all the things you wish you'd known sooner.

Have you ever looked at someone who seems to handle life's challenges with grace and thought, "I wish I was that strong?"

Here's the truth that might surprise you: There aren't people who are mentally and emotionally strong and people who are weak. There are just people who know how to access their inner strength... and those who haven't learned how yet.
