Welcome to episode 445 becoming empowered.

As a coach, sometimes I get to help people feel better, but always my goal is to help people become empowered.

Empowerment is truly what serves us best. Sometimes we want or

need to feel bad for various reasons, but if we're disempowered, then we feel stuck in

feeling bad and we are afraid of the life we are meant to live.

In today's episode I'm breaking down the four stages I see people go through on their journey to empowerment. Let's do this.

Welcome to Better Than Happy. I'm Jody Moore and I'll be your coach today.

Okay guys I'm very excited to be here talking to you about this topic today.

I got to tell you this is an episode I've been wanting to record for like six or seven months, and I don't know if I thought I was saving it for a special time or I don't know what I was thinking but I've had these page of notes of information I wanted to share with you and I keep putting it off, putting it off and finally was like, oh my gosh, I got to do that episode.

And I guess what I, the reason I'm telling you that is because I wish I would have recorded it earlier

I wish I would have just like not waited for the perfect time and the perfect way to utilize it and just recorded it when the

inspiration came to me so I want to encourage those of you who do anything like what

I'm doing maybe you're an author maybe you have a podcast of your own, or maybe just in the

teaching that you do in whatever form you do it in your life, you get ideas and you think,

I'm going to save that because it's so good I'm going to save it for the perfect time

I don't think that's useful I think that the inspiration sort of leaves us and it just isn't as powerful

luckily I wrote down a whole bunch of notes, so I think I'm still going to be able to do this episode justice,

but I just want to be transparent with you that I had so much fire around it when the idea first came to me and I'm still excited about it, but I just feel nervous that I'm not going to do it justice.

Anyway, that said, empowered, okay? That's the word I chose to use as I went to name the episode because

ultimately empowerment is the best gift that I as a coach can give to my clients.

If they are empowered, then my job is done.

And they don't always leave empowered.
