    S6E11: The No Episode, Episode - Merry Christmas
    Dec 25 2025

    Listen, this is not a rebellion. I am headed to the gym and wanted to say Merry Christmas because I don't know if I will be able to post - my goal was to sleep in today and check. Where ever you are and whatever you are doing - I wish you a blessed holiday and if I have time later and my kid isn't on my computer spilling food on the keyboard then I may stop back in and tell a Christmas story. Now that I say it - it sounds like fun to me. So we will see what happens and if a Better Moody Christmas miracle happens, I may get my friends and family to join me in singing some Christmas carols:) Much Love and Merry Christmas:) May your day be Merry and Bright.

    S6E10: You Deserve it All
    Dec 23 2025

    What happens when John Legend “taps you on the shoulder” in a Best Buy aisle and tells you You deserve it all?

    In this whimsical, heartwarming episode of Better Moody: The Way Forward, Judith takes you on a magical, funny, and deeply real journey through a random mall moment that turns into a reflection on joy, gratitude, motherhood, fantasy, and choosing to live fully in this day.

    From imagining spa days, Gucci shades, Land Rovers, and world travel with John Legend and Usher as her musical guides — to returning to real life with paint cans, gift bags, and a mama mission to make Christmas cozy — this episode is about balancing dreams with devotion, and learning that sometimes knowing you deserve it all is enough.

    This is a cozy, cinematic story about being a mom at Christmas, finding beauty in ordinary places, and soaking in the gift of the present moment. If you love reflective storytelling, humor, music-inspired daydreams, and honest conversations about gratitude and self-worth, this episode is for you.

    Press play, cuddle up, and ask yourself: What do you deserve?

    S6E9: Spreading Christmas Cheer for All to Hear
    Dec 18 2025
    Sorry we all died but the Spirit of Christmas lives on in song: Christmas Is Jumping is a modern, original Christmas song capturing the joyful chaos of family life during the holidays. Published while the family was sick at home, this playful holiday track mixes humor, warmth, and wonder—complete with emergency traditions, reindeer mishaps, and tender moments of motherhood. A cozy, imperfect, and heartfelt Christmas song for anyone who knows the magic lives in the mess.
