Jody Moore
After having her first two kids, Jody Moore struggled with work/life balance, embracing motherhood, and liking herself. As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints she felt guilty for not loving the role of mother and wife, and turned to life coaching for help. The transformation she experienced not only helped her at work and at home, it strengthened her testimony of Christ leading her to dive into learning the tools of coaching and to leave her position as a corporate leadership coach to launch her own coaching practice. Jody is certified through The Life Coach School and completed Master Coach Certification in 2018. Today Jody has helped tens of thousands of people through her top-rated podcast Better Than Happy as well as her coaching membership program The Lab. She has 4 children ages 8 – 18 and resides in San Diego, California with them, her husband, and their French bulldog Finn and mini cavapoo Milo.
