Number 1: 407. Your Enchanted Life (How to Turn the Raw Materials of Your Life into a Masterpiece)
Today's episode is a masterclass I taught live, and I recorded it the day after we lost Dolly Parton. If you hear extra emotion in my voice, that's why. She was the queen of my heart, and it turns out her whole life was the perfect example of everything I wanted to teach that day. Dolly took the raw materials she was born with — poverty, a huge family, a mountain nobody thought much of — and turned them into the most gorgeous, generous life anybody's ever lived. And I think most of us are waiting for better materials before we start creating ours. Here's what we get into: Why so many of us are waiting for different circumstances — more money, a different body, a more supportive spouse — before we let ourselves start creating a beautiful life The shift from a life of consumption to a life of creation, and the one powerful question that makes that shift: what can I make from this? Why even the hardest color you've ever been handed (for me, this year, that was cancer) can become raw material for something beautiful The seven skills I believe every woman needs to build a genuine masterpiece of her life — including how to create possibility in your mind, how to build emotional wealth, how to stay with yourself in the messy middle, and how to live enchanted right now instead of waiting for someday Why good intentions were never going to be enough for Dolly, or for you — these are skills you learn and practice, not just things some women are naturally born with You don't have to know what the whole blanket is going to look like before you learn how to knit. You just have to be willing to learn the skills.

Number 2: 408. How to Become Enchanted With Your Life (10 Things Enchanting Me Right Now)
We're kicking off a whole series on the art of enchantment today, and I'm starting with the word itself. It comes from Latin, and at its root, it actually means to sing. That's exactly what I want to be: a woman who still hears the song, who notices the change in the September air, who gets a little obsessed with baby cheeks and poetry and the yarn in her hands. This has been such a hard year for us. And I've learned something true in the middle of it: you can be devastated and still enchanted with your life at the same time. That's not denial. That's emotional wealth. So today, ten things enchanting me right now: My brand new kitchen journal — recipes, handwritten notes, and tiny printed photos of the grandbabies eating whatever I just made My current knitting obsession, a squishy red sweater called the Lakes Jacket by Ozetta Tom's middle school football games, knitting in the stands and hunting down his number for video A new diffuser blend I'm creating, appropriately called Enchanted Reading poetry again — Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver, after Wendell Berry's passing last week Baby cheeks. All six grandbabies' baby cheeks. No further explanation needed The first whisper of fall in the air Being a total beginner at English horseback riding, and loving what that humility teaches me Something brand new I'm creating for the program that I can't fully reveal yet, but that feels like a dream come true My actual, ordinary, everyday life — my porch, my kitchen light in the morning, watching Stevie get stronger If you want to keep being enchanted with me this month, I'm doing Enchantment Diaries on Instagram, documenting all of it in real time. And if this resonates, I'd love for you to join us for our upcoming workshop, The Art of Enchantment: How to Make the Last 90 Days of the Year Matter, September 23–25 at noon Eastern.

Number 3: 406. Real Coaches, Real Stories: A Coach Panel from the Next Level Life Summit
Today's episode is a little different. We're sharing a coach panel recorded during our Next Level Life Summit, where several of our House of Joy certified coaches got completely honest about what it actually looked like to say yes to certification. You'll meet Angela, Michelle, Becky, Susan, Shannon, and Jamie — a teacher, a hairstylist and salon owner, a homeschool mom, an author and podcaster, and more. Every one of them said yes in a season that looked nothing like the "right time." Here's what we get into: The real fears almost every one of them named before signing up — money, timing, whether their husband would be on board The seasons of life they were actually walking through when they said yes — cancer and remission, empty nesting, the loss of a child, menopause, financial strain Why this was never really about becoming a coach — it's about becoming the woman your next season is asking you to become The "go first" principle, and why you can't hand someone a tool you haven't used on yourself Specific transformation stories — Angela's relationship with her teenage son, Michelle learning to actually feel her emotions instead of just thinking about them, Susan's breakthrough with true self vs. false self, and Shannon's healing in her marriage after the loss of her son Ethan Why so many of them now see the investment differently — not as an expense, but as something that keeps paying them back What makes this community different from anything else they've been part of What they're each doing with their certification now — one-on-one coaching, group programs, a paid counseling role at a church, books, blogs, even a podcast If you've ever wondered whether it's too late, too expensive, or too much to invest in yourself, I think this conversation is going to be such an encouragement to you.

Number 4: 405. Stop Postponing Your Life: 5 Things I Learned From the Hardest—and Richest—Season of My Life
We just came back from a weekend that didn't look impressive on paper. No trip, no big event. Just a porch, a sleeping baby upstairs, and Stevie back up on the wake surf board for the first time since his surgery, already trying a 360 within 45 seconds of getting up. And sitting there, I kept thinking: this is the life. This year handed us something we never would have ordered. But I've learned so much these last few months about what it means to stop waiting for the hard part to be over before you let yourself actually live. Here's what this season taught me: Stop waiting for certainty to feel alive — uncertainty and a full, beautiful life are allowed to coexist Stop letting the hardest thing become the whole thing — ask yourself, what else is here besides this? Stop waiting for your life to calm down before you let it be good — hard and beautiful get to be the same season Stop confusing your circumstances with your emotional power — your circumstances are the raw material, not the boss Stop preparing for your life and start becoming the woman who can actually live it Life gives you the raw material. You get to write the story. So decide today that you're going to stop postponing yours.

Number 5: 403. 10 House Rules for Living Well (A Peek Into the House of Joy Week)
Did you know the House of Joy has actual house rules? A book landed in my mailbox this week called House Rules, and at the very same time we were gearing up for our Week in the House of Joy — and the two collided in this episode. So here they are. Ten house rules that make life better, whether it's an ordinary Tuesday or something much harder. Here they are: We don't wait for special occasions — use the china, buy the flowers, wear the good PJs, now All feelings are allowed here — the goal isn't to feel good all the time, it's to feel anything without abandoning yourself We tell good stories — the circumstance doesn't get the final say on the story you tell about it We make things beautiful on purpose — even hospital rooms, even hard seasons We're always making something — creating moves you out of survival mode and into a life you're actually building We take care of the woman who lives here — sleep, movement, nourishment, friends, prayer, margin We take our fun very seriously — dancing, boat rides, tiny ice cream cones on a regular Saturday We ask ourselves, what would be amazing? — tapping into desire instead of just what needs to be done Everybody who comes through the door gets to belong — even when they believe or live differently than you do We leave the door open — because your house of joy was never meant to be just for you Your house of joy was never meant to be just for you. So consider this your invitation in.
