Hi, sweet friends! This week’s episode is something extra special. We're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at a powerful teaching from inside Life Mentoring School—one of the most requested and deeply felt topics we cover: parenting our adult children.

Whether you're navigating this season right now or still raising littles and preparing your heart, this teaching is full of grace, encouragement, and the kind of mindset shifts that can truly change your relationships from the inside out.

In this episode, I share:

The three most transformative shifts that can bring more love, respect, and connection to your relationship with your grown kids

Why releasing control and expectations is one of the most loving things you can do

How to stop showing up from fear and start parenting from a place of abundance and trust

Real-life stories (including a few from my own sweet family!) that remind us how healing and connection are always possible

If this episode speaks to your heart, I’d love to invite you into Life Mentoring School, where we dig into teachings just like this every single month and grow together in the most life-giving ways.

282. The Secret of Leading and Loving Well 

What if the most powerful legacy you could leave your children isn’t your achievements—but your healing?

This episode is a sacred invitation.

A call to stop leading from performance, pressure, or wounds—and start leading from the quiet, rooted place of wholeness.

After a weekend of porch sits, heart talks, and legacy-level conversations with her daughters, Dr. Edie brings a deeply personal and powerful message about what it really means to become a woman who leads from her healed self. Whether you’re a mom, a coach, or a woman walking through midlife with your heart wide open, this one will move you.

Inside this episode:

The emotional leadership that changed Edie’s relationship with her daughters

Why your emotional range becomes your leadership ceiling

How to hold more—more vision, more power, more joy, more grief—without collapsing

The shift from being a high-achiever to becoming an embodied, wise, grounded leader

Why true healing is the greatest gift you’ll ever give your children, clients, and community

What Master Coach Training is really teaching (hint: it’s not just more tools)

This isn’t about striving. This is about becoming.

So if you’ve ever felt the nudge to lead differently—deeper, softer, wiser—this is your episode.

What if the whole point of healing wasn’t just “getting better” — but learning how to fully live, love, dance, cry, and truly say yes to your one beautiful, messy life?

After one of the most joyful, heart-filled weekends at our son’s wedding, I’m sitting down — still a little tearful and sore from all the dancing! — to talk about what it really means to live fully alive. In this episode, I'm sharing straight from the heart: why this healing work matters, how it changes the way we show up for the people we love, and a simple tool I use daily to come back to my truest self.

We'll dive into:

How the "true self vs. false self" practice can transform your days

Why learning emotional resilience now prepares you for the best (and hardest) moments

The real gift of staying awake and present to your actual, beautiful life — even when it's bittersweet

Whether you're dancing barefoot at a wedding or holding your heart through a hard goodbye, this episode is a reminder: you were made for a life lived fully, with your whole soul saying yes.
