Better Than Happy

Ep 177. Busyness

December is the time of year when everyone starts talking about being so busy. The rush of the holiday, the endless to-do list and the expectations everyone seems to have can give you the opportunity to fall for this trick your brain plays. But busyness is not about what’s going on outside of you. It’s a state of mind. Today we’re exploring why it’s such a chronic problem and I’m giving you a new way to think about your life and your time to help you enjoy this magical time of year.

Ep 175. How to Teach Others About Thought Work

The tools you’re learning are changing things for you, so naturally you want to share it with others. I hear from listeners and my clients that they are trying to explain it and sometimes the people in their lives aren’t open to it. They don’t believe in it, don’t get it or don’t want to hear it at all. Well today I have 8 things to share with you to help you on your quest to influence the people in your life for good. We’ll talk about how to know when it’s appropriate to share it, how to not be overly invested in whether or not they agree with you, and how to teach it to your kids so they don’t even realize you’re coaching them.

Today I’m interviewing Matt and Lindsay Kjar who share their experience and how they’ve used it to grow closer together.

Ep 167. Successful Parenting

How do you know if you’re a good mom or a good dad? Is it if your kids are happy? They are obedient and get good grades? Is it based on how they turn out? Is it based on whether or not the like the way you raised them? Or is it none of those things at all? Today I’m going to teach you how to define success as a parent and WHY this is such an important thing to do. I’ll share with you how I define it for myself and give you some tools to help you answer this important question and create the relationship you want with your kids now and forever.

Ep 169. Negativity In Disguise

Our brains are very good at negativity. It’s a natural survival mechanism. But today I want to talk to you about judgement, fear, worry and self-loathing. These are the most common forms of negativity and in many ways they create un-necessary problems and suffering for us. We’ll talk about how negativity is sometimes disguised and you’ll get some useful tips for redirecting your brain to positivity.

Ep 171. Being Wrong

Ever notice how painful it is to be wrong? Today we’re exploring why the brain has such an aversion to it, and some of the un-necessary problems we create for ourselves as a result. Of course we’ll address how to re-direct your brain and the benefits of doing so as you pursue your goals.

Ep 170. Changing a Bad Habit

Today I want to give you an in-dept lesson in the concept of buffering. Buffers can include everything from drugs, alcohol and pornography to overeating, shopping or video games. You’ll know it’s a buffer if it has a net negative effect in your life. This episode is one of my most powerful and includes the work I’m doing on my own buffers, a step-by-step process for changing your own, and why doing this work matters, and at the same time doesn’t matter at all.

Ep 168. Accessing Creativity

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of reading up on accessing your own creativity and today I want to share some of my biggest take aways. I’m sharing teachings from Stephen Pressfield, Austin Kleon and Elizabeth Gilbert. Tune in as I teach you why you don’t need to be original, how to deal with criticism and failure, and why creating something doesn’t feel like you might have imagined it would feel. Let’s get you making the “music” you were meant to make.

Ep 166. What Is Truth?

When we share our testimonies at church we often say, “I know this church is true.” We find great peace in knowing it’s true. So when I teach people the CTFAR model they often want to put their religious beliefs in the circumstance line. When I tell them their beliefs go in the thought line, they think I’m suggesting they should question their testimony or that I’m denying these beliefs in some way. Today I want to explain why our beliefs go in the thought line, and why this is very good news. Why this can provide you ultimate peace and comfort and why understanding this can help create better results in your life.

Ep 158. “How” is None of Your Business

Most people are searching for the answers to “how” to achieve the things they want to in life. They think if they can figure out how, then they will believe it is possible and then they will go for it. Today I want to teach you why this is backwards and how to let go of the how and take massive action to achieve any result you can commit to believing.

Ep 157. Accepting and Questioning

In our natural unsupervised state our brains want to focus on and try to change things outside of us. If this worked I would tell you to keep doing it but it mostly doesn’t work. So today I want to teach you how to accept the things that happen that are outside of your control without being a doormat. Then we’ll talk about questioning all of your thoughts. Especially the ones that seem like just true facts and absolutely when they are creating a problem for you. Tune in so I can teach you this valuable concept so you can apply it as you do your own self-coaching.

It’s nearly Mother’s Day. And if you’re like many women I know you secretly hate this day. You try not to but it seems like your expectations are never met.

I’m a Mormon. This is not a surprise to you I hope. But today I want to talk with you about why I’m a Mormon. I want you to decide why you believe whatever you believe because the why matters. Are you a Mormon because of the community? Is it because of a certain church leader? Is it because of Joseph Smith? Are you a Mormon by default or is it rooted in sound doctrine that makes your life better? Just something to consider. Tune in to learn how I answered this question for myself.

Forgiveness is a divine attribute. We are commanded to repent and seek His forgiveness and we are also commanded to forgive others. But only every time. But how? How do we know if we’ve been forgiven and what is Godly sorrow? Forgiveness is not something you do. It’s a change in the way you think and feel about someone else. It’s your opportunity to be a higher version of you. It’s not easy work but it’s available and on today’s episode I’m giving you some tools to put this important principle into action in your life.
