It’s Day 22 of the shutdown, and Better Moody Actual is reporting from home—silk cap on, last Michelada in hand, kitchen turned fallout shelter. The government’s closed, but somehow the direct deposits keep coming, and no one can explain why. Maybe DFAS hit Pay All. Maybe bureaucracy just refused to die. From fluorescent office memories to midnight fridge philosophy, this episode asks the only question that still matters: where did the money come from, and who’s still running the lights?

Dark humor, soft chaos, and the kind of calm only found in a bunker with Wi-Fi and Better Moody:).

My Failing Antihero is what happens when the woman who always bounces back decides not to. It’s raw, funny, and quietly defiant — a reflection on strength, burnout, and the strange freedom that comes with running out of fight.

This isn’t a pity party; it’s a plot twist.

This episode explores what the Reformer really does for the body — how precision, alignment, and resistance create strength from the inside out. It’s about building a relationship with your own body that’s based on awareness, not punishment.

Your body isn’t the enemy; it’s the ally that carries you through every negotiation, every setback, and every reform.

Some people leave behind legacies — John Candy left behind warmth.

In this episode of Better Moody: The Way Forward, Moody reflects on the rare kind of goodness that lingers long after someone’s gone — the kind that can still make a whole generation smile through a screen.

Through laughter and a few tears, we revisit the spirit of John Candy — his timing, his tenderness, and how his quiet brilliance reminds us that kindness never really dies. It just changes form.

What happens when your peaceful REM sleep is shattered by a 2AM knock from the police? Add in barking dogs, a teenager who thinks she’s grown, and me fighting with Power BI at midnight — and you’ve got one chaotic, coffee-fueled story. In this episode of The Way Forward, I break down the madness with humor, honesty, and just enough sass to keep you laughing through the chaos.

At the bottom of Niagara Falls, the roar is deafening, the mist relentless, and the ground itself trembles. Tourists huddle together in blue ponchos, each carrying their own story, each future branching in countless directions. But within the chaos, the lens narrows on a single figure — steady, small, and enduring in the spray. This episode explores awe, change, and what it means to stand inside power you can’t control.
