Better Than Happy Jody Moore | An Example of What's Possible

Have you ever had someone in your life who showed you what was truly possible? Someone who inspired you to dream bigger, love deeper, and live more fully? For me, that person is Brooke Castillo.

In this episode, I share how Brooke has been an incredible example, mentor, and friend to me, not just through her teachings, but through the way she lives her life. As she closes a chapter with her coaching programs, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the profound impact she’s had on my personal and professional growth.

Join me this week as I reflect on the four key lessons I’ve learned from Brooke Castillo, and the power of leading by example. From her ability to choose love in challenging situations to her generosity, integrity, and confidence, Brooke embodies so many qualities we can all aspire to.

It is Thanksgiving weekend. And I’ve been thinking a lot about the things, people, experiences, and places that I am thankful for. And one person is standing out in my mind a lot. I’m going to tell you why this person is on my mind more than usual even, why this person has been so impactful in my life, and share with you some of the key turning points that changed everything for me in my personal, professional life, and in every other way. This is episode 489, An Example of What’s Possible.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to the podcast. Hope that you are having a lovely week. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope it was enjoyable and peaceful and all the things. And thank you for joining me on the podcast today.

So I recently heard this quote from the poet Rumi. It says, “The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep.”

So I love this quote because I’m kind of at that stage of life where I wake up in the night a little bit more than I used to. And sometimes I have a hard time going back to sleep once I wake up and it’s easy to get frustrated by that and start thinking thoughts like, I’ve got to get back to sleep or I’m going to be so tired tomorrow. But this quote from Rumi really shifted it for me. I decided from now on, if I wake up in the night, I’m going to decide it’s because the breezes have secrets to tell me, and I’m going to try not to go back to sleep.

So recently, I woke up in the night, and I started to just think about things in my life, think about experiences and people, and it is the month of Thanksgiving. So I try to focus even more so on gratitude. And I kept thinking about my teacher, my mentor, my coach, and my friend, Brooke Castillo. She just kept coming to my mind.

Now, I will mention that you guys have heard me talk about Brooke Castillo a lot because about half of the tools that I use as a coach and that I talk about here on this podcast, I learned from Brooke. So I’m constantly referencing her. But today I wanna do something a little different. I don’t wanna dive into the tools that she’s taught me. I do that all the time.

I wanna talk to you about how she has been such an example of what’s possible to me in kind of more subtle ways, just through the life that she lives and the person that she is. And I’ll tell you that one of her kind of driving motivators in life, you might say, the purpose that she sees as her life that really drives her and inspires her is to be an example of what’s possible. And she does it so beautifully.

Now, before I build her up, let me just clarify that I know that she is not perfect. She knows that she is not perfect. I’m not suggesting that she is. I’m not trying to put her on a pedestal above anybody else. In fact, she has some teachings or values or ideas about life, et cetera, that I disagree with. And I love that she and I can disagree. And in fact, I remember talking to her once saying, I don’t even agree with everything you teach. And she’s like, I know, I hope not. I think that would be weird if anyone agreed with everything I teach, right?

So anyway, I don’t mean to elevate her in an inappropriate way, but I do just wanna take a moment to celebrate and be grateful for her. She is closing down Self-Coaching Scholars, which has been the coaching program she’s had for many, many years, and she’s taking a pause from certifying coaches, and she’s gonna spend some time with her family, and I’m sure she will be around doing many other amazing things, becaus...
