Whether you're wrangling toddlers, navigating teenage schedules, or just trying to soak in the sunshine before your next Zoom meeting—this one’s for you.

We’re talking about how to reset your rhythms, make summer magic, and protect your peace even when your routines are out the window. Because here's the truth: your summer can still feel intentional, nourishing, and fun, no matter what season you're in.

From morning porch rituals ☕ to two-bite ice cream cones 🍦 to letting go of rigid expectations, we’re giving you plenty of lighthearted (but powerful!) ideas to help you lead your summer with joy, presence, and just enough structure to keep you sane.

We’re also dishing on:

How to create a summer rhythm that actually feels like a gift

The power of tiny rituals: from sunset walks to sprucing up your home

Why structure = more freedom (yes, even in summer!)

And how to make this season feel more memorable—without doing more

We are getting real about something no one talks about enough: freedom in midlife. It’s the gift we all think we want—more time, fewer responsibilities, a quieter house—but once it arrives, it often feels disorienting… even disappointing. Why?

Because freedom without intention can feel like a prison.But freedom with vision? That’s where the magic is.

This episode is a powerful invitation to wake up to the life you’ve been given. To stop drifting. To stop filling your days with things that don’t truly matter to you. And to choose, on purpose, what this season of your life will be about.

You’ll hear:

A wild story from Edie’s childhood that shaped how she sees invisible prisons

What to do if you feel lost or restless in midlife

How to lead yourself with joy, vision, and energy

Why self-leadership is the path to freedom (not the absence of responsibility)

This episode will remind you: you are the source of your energy. And now is the time to choose how you want to show up—for yourself, your purpose, and your people.

Today’s episode is one we ALL need—because if you've ever spiraled from one offhand comment or found yourself taking someone’s frustration as a personal attack… you’re not alone. This week, Dr. Edie and Emmy dive into how to stop taking things so personally—without shutting down, numbing out, or building walls.

We’re sharing real-life stories (yes, including a little wake-surf drama 😅), practical tools, and mindset shifts to help you respond with curiosity instead of defensiveness. Whether it’s a stranger online or someone you deeply love, this episode is all about reclaiming your peace, regulating your emotions, and choosing connection over conflict.

This one’s part heart talk, part surf recap, and all things JOY.

Why people’s words and actions are rarely about you—and what to do when they feel like they are

The powerful pause: how to stop reacting and start responding with intention

How your “tender moments” are sacred invitations to reconnect to your true self

Why choosing curiosity over offense can radically shift your relationships

Practical tools to emotionally regulate (even mid-boat ride!)

Ever looked around your life—your beautiful, full, on-paper-perfect life—and still felt that quiet ache? That whisper of discontent? That sense that something’s missing… even when everything “should” be fine?

This week on the House of Joy, Dr. Edie gets honest about that ache we rarely talk about—and how to stop numbing it and start listening to it. She shares personal stories, reflections on what truly wakes us up to our lives, and a fresh way to view your longing as the sacred invitation it really is. 🙌

Because maybe it’s not that something is missing… maybe what’s missing is you, fully alive and awake in your own life.
