I sit down with my high schooler for a real and unscripted conversation about feeling “behind” in life — and what it means to find your purpose when you don’t feel ready for it.

This isn’t a lecture or a motivational speech. It’s a mother and daughter talking about pressure, expectations, school, mental health, and what it feels like when the world keeps moving and you’re still trying to catch your breath.

If you’ve ever felt late to your dreams, uncertain about the future, or worried that everyone else is ahead of you — this episode is your reminder that your story isn’t over. Sometimes, being “late to the throne” just means you’re growing into the person you’re meant to be.

What we talk about in this episode:

• The pressure of being a teenager in 2025

• Falling behind in school and showing up anyway

• Real talk on mental health and motivation

• Why “late” doesn’t mean “lost”

• How to build your own throne instead of chasing one

Who this episode is for:

• Parents navigating teen years with empathy

• Teens who feel overwhelmed or stuck

• Anyone who feels behind in life, healing, or purpose

• Listeners who love honest, cinematic conversations

Key message:

You’re not too late. Your timing just might be different.

What is “Orpah Energy”? It’s that quiet shift that happens when a woman turns a moment into momentum. When she doesn’t push herself forward — she pivots instead. It’s not loud. It’s not perfect. It’s presence.

In this episode, I explore Oprah - who even is Oprah? We talk about energy that builds character, the kind of confidence that doesn’t shout, and why sometimes life redirects us before it reveals us.

With a Little bit of doggy input. And a Dash of K-Pop Demon Hunter vibes, I discuss one of The longest government shutdowns in U.S. history. Its finally over.

In this episode, I break down the 43-day shutdown in simple terms — what actually happened, who was affected, why travel and federal services slowed down, and what we can expect moving forward now that the government has reopened.

We talk TSA delays, passport slowdowns, federal workers going weeks without pay, national park closures, and the ripple effects still coming even after the bill was signed late Wednesday night at the White House.

If you’ve been wondering how a shutdown impacts everyday people — and why it cost the economy billions — this episode gives you the full, clear, human explanation.

What does a 43-day shutdown really mean for all of us now?

We get into it. Follow if you like. Drop a comment if you want because I'm listening:)

In today’s episode, I tell the completely reasonable story of how one tiny crease on my forehead sent me spiraling straight into a Mega Millions daydream. You know — just a casual billion-dollar plan to fix a fine line.

We’re talking kids outgrowing clothes, anti-aging chaos, financial delusion, and how I went from “maybe I need moisturizer” to “actually, let me run the math on my $300 million after taxes.”

If you’ve ever gone from minor inconvenience to full fantasy future in under 30 seconds… welcome home.

This is the fever speaking...

If you’re also under the weather: same. Absolutely same.

I'm sick - you’re probably sick and the weather is disrespectful. My immune system is acting like it wasn’t briefed on the assignment - didn't get the memo. So here’s a bonus of an episode for all of us currently hanging on by a cough drop and a prayer. If I stay in, I presume I will document it as well. More on my demise later.

This episode is about all the nice things...complete with accoutrements like dog love and sniffles 💛

Today I rode the MBTA for the first time ever with my whole crew — and somehow ended up at the Wicked Craft Co., where creativity was literally in the air. On the way back, I met August at the train station — another podcaster whose name I only halfway remember (something Dnders?). If you see this, August, drop your tag here so we can connect 💛. I listened to the first episode but not in my account so I can’t find you?!? #help

Halloween creeps closer… and the first entry in The Hanscom Horror Files has been unlocked.

In this chilling Better Moody Halloween special, a quiet night on Hanscom Air Force Base turns terrifying when Clair, her sister Savannah, and baby Camdin wander into the abandoned building across from Hanscom Elementary School—a building long rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of children who never came home.

What begins as an innocent dare quickly unravels into a base-housing horror story filled with mirrors that move on their own, children’s drawings that change, and whispers that echo long after you’ve left the hallway.

Inspired by real Massachusetts folklore and the eerie stillness of life on base after dark, this immersive story blends true-base-mystery realism with the Better Moody cinematic style.

In this eerie, reflective episode of Better Moody, host Better Moody stares into the mirror and doesn’t just see her face — she sees the obsession that stares back. What happens when the mirror stops showing who we are and starts showing what the world expects us to be?

Through a haunting story about chasing validation and the dopamine hit of being “seen,” Better Moody unpacks the quiet addiction so many of us share: the need for approval, likes, attention, and proof that we exist. It’s part confession, part social commentary, part therapy session with a laugh in the middle.

If you’ve ever refreshed your notifications hoping to feel something, this episode is your invitation to step back, breathe, and look at yourself without the audience.
