Today’s conversation is one that’s so real for so many of us: procrastination.

If you’ve ever found yourself scrubbing the kitchen floor, reorganizing your closet, or redesigning your Canva templates instead of doing the one thing on your list—you’re not alone. And guess what? You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And nothing is wrong with you.

In this episode, Emme and I take some inspiration from a recent Huberman Lab podcast and dive into a deeper, more compassionate perspective on procrastination. We’ll unpack: ✨ Why procrastination isn’t about laziness—it’s about unprocessed emotions. ✨ The surprising role fear, perfectionism, and even grief play in why we delay tasks. ✨ How procrastination can actually be your brain’s way of preparing you. ✨ Simple, grace-filled strategies to move forward—like creating small wins, reframing the story, and giving yourself space to feel.

We get really personal in this one. I even share how wedding emotions snuck up on me (cue the tears 😭) and how processing them unlocked clarity and momentum. You’ll leave with practical tools and, I hope, a fresh sense of kindness toward yourself.

Because procrastination doesn’t define you—it can actually teach you. And when you lean in, honor your emotions, and take one small step, you’ll be amazed at what you can create.

With love, Edie

313. 4 Habits That 10x’d My Life, Income & Joy!

I just wrapped up hosting my Next Level Summit and I’m still overflowing with gratitude—not just for the event itself, but for the way God has shown me again and again that living in alignment with who He created me to be changes everything.

Today I’m sharing 4 habits that have truly 10x’d my life, my income, and my joy. And no, they’re probably not what you’d guess. They’re not about working harder or hustling more—they’re about simplifying, aligning your daily actions with your deepest desires, and living with more intention and presence.

Inside, I’ll walk you through: ✨ How ruthless simplicity brings more peace than you ever imagined. ✨ The daily practices of deep inner work that keep me grounded and creative. ✨ Why small, consistent actions build massive trust with yourself. ✨ The power of rest, sacred space, and allowing yourself to refuel.

If you’ve been craving a way of living that feels lighter, more joyful, and more aligned with God’s calling on your life, this episode is for you.

And friend, I want you to actually grab a piece of paper while you listen. On one side, write your true heart’s desires. On the other side, write the actions you’re currently taking. Do they line up? This little exercise could shift everything for you, the way it has for me.

I pray this conversation inspires you to simplify, refocus, and take one small step toward the life God is calling you to live.

311. The Thing You Think Disqualifies You Is the Very Thing That Makes You Powerful

For years, I believed my past disqualified me. I thought my mistakes, my upbringing, even my ADHD brain made me less-than. And more recently, I’ve faced health challenges that left me wondering if I could still lead, teach, and serve the way I wanted to. But here’s what I’ve learned: those exact things—my quirks, my struggles, the parts of me I used to hide—are what make me relatable, believable, and powerful. They are what qualify me.

In this episode, I share:

How I’ve shifted from performing to embodying who I really am.

Why moving from consumption to creation has changed everything.

The powerful shift from hustle to flow that has allowed me to do meaningful work with more ease and joy.

I believe God is so good at taking what we see as flaws or limitations and turning them into gifts we can share with the world. So, I want you to ask yourself: what’s the thing you’ve been tempted to hide? What if that’s the very thing God wants to use in you?

✨ Plus, I’ll tell you all about our Behind the Scenes Experience and the upcoming Next Level Life Summit happening August 20th. This is your chance to see what it really looks like to create a meaningful, abundant life—and to join me for a day of encouragement and transformation.

310. 5 Sneaky Ways Scarcity is Showing Up in Your Life (and How to Shift to Abundance)

We usually think of “scarcity” as not having enough money or stuff… but what if it’s actually hiding in your thoughts about time, relationships, opportunities, and even your own purpose?

In this episode of House of Joy, Dr. Edie and Emme pull back the curtain on five surprising ways a scarcity mindset might be running the show without you even knowing it—and how to flip the script to start living in genuine abundance right now.

From feeling like you’re “always behind” to thinking “there’s never enough time” to doubting your unique contribution, these sneaky beliefs quietly drain your energy, keep you stuck, and rob you of the joy you already have. You’ll learn how to spot them, reframe them, and step into a mindset that’s rooted in gratitude, peace, and trust.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, starting a business, chasing a dream, or just trying to live fully present, this conversation will help you stop running on the hamster wheel of “not enough” and start creating more of what matters most.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why scarcity isn’t just about money (and where it’s most likely hiding in your life)

How one small thought can quietly sabotage your motivation and joy

The mindset shift that collapses time and multiplies the moments that matter

Why your belief has to come before you see the proof

How abundance and faith are deeply connected

You’ve built a beautiful life, you’ve checked all the boxes… so why does it still feel like something’s missing? Why do you feel a little stuck, a little heavy, a little off? 

In today’s heartfelt solo episode, we’re talking about something so many midlife women feel but don’t always have the words for: restlessness.

Dr. Edie opens up about what this season of restlessness really means—and how it might not be a sign that something’s wrong, but instead a divine invitation to create, to express, and to finally share the wisdom that’s been growing inside of you for years.

If you’ve ever felt a holy nudge for “more” but weren’t sure what to do with it, this episode will speak straight to your heart.

Why midlife women often feel a sense of restlessness and resentment

The trap of over-consuming and under-creating

The unused wisdom inside you—and why it might be what’s weighing you down

The difference between Chronos and Kairos time (and how to live in the latter)

How creativity  (even something as simple as knitting!) restores your nervous system

The kind of soul-aligned living that actually gives you more energy

The spiritual shift that happens when you stop hiding and start expressing

“There are seasons when I thought I needed rest, but what I really needed was release.” —Dr. Edie Wadsworth
