Today I rode the MBTA for the first time ever with my whole crew — and somehow ended up at the Wicked Craft Co., where creativity was literally in the air. On the way back, I met August at the train station — another podcaster whose name I only halfway remember (something Dnders?). If you see this, August, drop your tag here so we can connect 💛. I listened to the first episode but not in my account so I can’t find you?!? #help

A day of movement, magic, and unexpected connection — classic Better Moody vibes.

Halloween creeps closer… and the first entry in The Hanscom Horror Files has been unlocked.

In this chilling Better Moody Halloween special, a quiet night on Hanscom Air Force Base turns terrifying when Clair, her sister Savannah, and baby Camdin wander into the abandoned building across from Hanscom Elementary School—a building long rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of children who never came home.

What begins as an innocent dare quickly unravels into a base-housing horror story filled with mirrors that move on their own, children’s drawings that change, and whispers that echo long after you’ve left the hallway.

Inspired by real Massachusetts folklore and the eerie stillness of life on base after dark, this immersive story blends true-base-mystery realism with the Better Moody cinematic style.

In this eerie, reflective episode of Better Moody, host Better Moody stares into the mirror and doesn’t just see her face — she sees the obsession that stares back. What happens when the mirror stops showing who we are and starts showing what the world expects us to be?

Through a haunting story about chasing validation and the dopamine hit of being “seen,” Better Moody unpacks the quiet addiction so many of us share: the need for approval, likes, attention, and proof that we exist. It’s part confession, part social commentary, part therapy session with a laugh in the middle.

If you’ve ever refreshed your notifications hoping to feel something, this episode is your invitation to step back, breathe, and look at yourself without the audience.

It’s Day 22 of the shutdown, and Better Moody Actual is reporting from home—silk cap on, last Michelada in hand, kitchen turned fallout shelter. The government’s closed, but somehow the direct deposits keep coming, and no one can explain why. Maybe DFAS hit Pay All. Maybe bureaucracy just refused to die. From fluorescent office memories to midnight fridge philosophy, this episode asks the only question that still matters: where did the money come from, and who’s still running the lights?

Dark humor, soft chaos, and the kind of calm only found in a bunker with Wi-Fi and Better Moody:).

My Failing Antihero is what happens when the woman who always bounces back decides not to. It’s raw, funny, and quietly defiant — a reflection on strength, burnout, and the strange freedom that comes with running out of fight.

This isn’t a pity party; it’s a plot twist.

This episode explores what the Reformer really does for the body — how precision, alignment, and resistance create strength from the inside out. It’s about building a relationship with your own body that’s based on awareness, not punishment.

Your body isn’t the enemy; it’s the ally that carries you through every negotiation, every setback, and every reform.

Some people leave behind legacies — John Candy left behind warmth.

In this episode of Better Moody: The Way Forward, Moody reflects on the rare kind of goodness that lingers long after someone’s gone — the kind that can still make a whole generation smile through a screen.

Through laughter and a few tears, we revisit the spirit of John Candy — his timing, his tenderness, and how his quiet brilliance reminds us that kindness never really dies. It just changes form.

In this Better Moody episode, Judith DaCosta breaks down the 2025 government shutdown like a survival guide for Soldiers, DFAS victims, and federal employees stuck in limbo. Expect caffeine-fueled commentary, hard truths, and just enough sarcasm to keep you from crying.
