I'm Jody Moore and this is Better Than Happy on Tre Talk, Courage and Purpose.

Did you know that you can live a life that's even better than happy?

My name is Jody Moore. I'm a master certified life coach and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter-day Saints. And if you're willing to go with me, I can show you how. Let's go.
