Jody Moore on Aging with More Peace and Purpose. One way is to STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR ADULT KIDS! What if one of the biggest obstacles to living a longer, stronger, happier life isn't what we're doing with our bodies—but what we're doing with our minds? In this episode of Live Longer. Live Stronger., Brad and Keros Lowder sit down with master certified coach Jody Moore, host of Better Than Happy, for a fascinating conversation about mindset, purpose, worry, aging and the way we think about the people we love. At 68, Brad is on a personal mission to understand what he can do now to be healthy, strong and engaged at 90. Jody brings a different—and surprisingly practical—perspective: the way we think about aging, our circumstances, our adult children and even our future selves can profoundly influence how we experience the years ahead. One of the most powerful parts of the conversation focuses on something many parents of adult children struggle with: How do you love your children without carrying their problems for them? Jody explains the difference between facts and the stories we tell ourselves about those facts, and why worrying about someone isn't necessarily the same thing as helping them. She offers three practical things listeners can begin doing immediately: Journal your thoughts and separate facts from the stories you're telling yourself.Intentionally fill your mind with empowering ideas rather than constantly consuming fear and negativity.Ask yourself: “What would love do?”—for your children, your relationships, and yourself.Jody also shares one of the episode's most memorable ideas: learning to love your future self. Sometimes that means making a choice today that your future self will thank you for—going for the walk instead of watching another hour of television, getting enough sleep, or taking care of your body even when you don't feel like it. Why mindset matters as we ageFinding purpose after retirement or when children leave homeThe difference between worrying about adult children and actually helping themHow our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviorWhy worry can feel useful even when it isn'tLearning to separate facts from our interpretationsHow to love your past self without excusing your mistakesHow to make choices your future self will appreciateThe importance of purpose, agency and meaningful relationshipsThree simple practices you can start todayJody's message ultimately comes down to something remarkably simple: “Get to love. What would love do?” If you're trying to live not only longer, but stronger—with greater purpose, peace and joy, this conversation is worth your time. At 68, Brad Lowder has set himself a personal goal: to be healthy, strong and active at 90. His son Keros Lowder is joining him on the journey. Together, they interview physicians, longevity researchers, wellness experts, coaches and remarkable people to discover what we can do today to improve our chances of living a long, healthy and meaningful life. The podcast is inspired in part by Brad's experience watching his father-in-law, Russell M. Nelson, live past 100, and by the question: What can we learn from someone who lived that long—and how can we apply those lessons to our own lives? Subscribe to Live Longer.
