Listen Later

What happens when you let your guard down and share the real story?

In this deeply personal episode of The House of Joy, Dr. Edie and her daughter Emme sit down for one of the most honest and hope-filled conversations we've ever had on the podcast. What began as a behind-the-scenes interview for Edie’s coaching program has, over the years, become one of the most talked-about and transformational moments in our community—and today, we’re sharing it with you.

From Emme’s journey through college, addiction, and emotional disconnection to the healing power of prayer, love, and community, this episode is a raw invitation to see the humanity in our kids—and the redemption woven into every hard season.

Whether you're parenting adult children, walking through a hard season yourself, or wondering how to hold space for someone you love without judgment or control—this one is for you.

  • A behind-the-scenes look at Emmy’s candid confession and journey to healing

  • How Edie and Stevie parented through addiction with love instead of control

  • The subtle ways codependence and people-pleasing show up in parenting

  • Why creating safe spaces of unconditional love changes everything

  • How Emmy’s spiritual reawakening led to personal transformation

  • The redemptive power of vulnerability, forgiveness, and coming home
