Better Than Happy

What if selling didn't have to feel pushy, manipulative, or uncomfortable?

Many people believe that making an impact requires being aggressive or persuasive in ways that don't feel authentic. But the truth is, most of us are already selling every day, whether we're encouraging our kids to do their homework, guiding a client toward a better solution, or helping someone take a step toward a...

What if the thing you're most upset about right now isn't actually the problem? What if the circumstance itself is completely neutral, and it's your thoughts about it that are creating your entire emotional experience?

In this episode, I revisit one of the core concepts of this work: circumstances are neutral. We define what a circumstance actually is (hint: it's just the facts), and why ...

What if the commandment to multiply and replenish the Earth isn't just about having babies, but about becoming the kind of person who creates, contributes, and grows in ways that feel alive and expansive to you?

In this episode, I share a perspective that has completely shifted the way I see ambition, especially for women who have been taught to prioritize everyone else's needs above thei...

When you're doing everything you're "supposed" to do and it's still not working… what then?

Whether it's your marriage, your parenting, your business, or your health goals, there comes a point where the strategies you're trying don't seem to be producing the results you expected. And in that moment, your brain wants to tell you something has gone wrong. Maybe it won't work for you. Maybe ...

What's the difference between trying to control someone and trying to positively influence them?

Whether it's your family, your coworkers, or even clients, we all have moments when we want to help others make better decisions or change their behavior. But are you influencing them for their benefit, or for your own? Today, we dive into the distinction between influence, manipulation, and c...

What does it really mean to live a rich life, and is it possible to feel rich even if your bank account doesn't look the way you want it to yet?

If money feels emotionally charged for you, or you find yourself swinging between wanting more and feeling resentful, discouraged, or ashamed about where you are, this episode is an invitation to look at wealth through a much bigger and more comp...

Is getting straight A's actually preparing you for a successful, fulfilling life… or could it be quietly working against you?

For many of us, being the "good student" became part of our identity early on, shaping how we measure success, effort, and even our worth. But what happens when life no longer hands you a clear rubric, a step-by-step roadmap, or external validation for doing things...

A lot of people think they know their business, but they're actually confused and misunderstanding it.

In part three of the Pro Coach Series, I'm exploring what it really means to know your business beyond just tracking numbers. If you want to take your coaching business to the next level, there are five specific areas where pros distinguish themselves from amateurs.

Are you putting yourself out there on social media, posting content, maybe even starting a podcast, but still struggling to get clients?

In this episode, I'm continuing the Pro Coach series with a deep dive into how professional coaches approach sales differently than amateurs. The distinction might surprise you because it starts long before you ever make an offer to anyone.

It feels like everyone around you is a coach these days. But here's the real question: how many of them are what you would call professional coaches?

I've been in this industry for 12 years now, and I've seen a lot of people come and go. I've watched coaches go through training and never do anything with it. I've seen businesses flounder without the consistency their owners desperately wa...

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...

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...
