This week on House of Joy, we’re trading hustle for handprints and checklists for connection.

Dr. Edie shares her heart and hilarity from hosting Grammy Camp—three magical days of tiny dinosaurs, porch naps, Paw Patrol yogurt, and paint-splattered everything. But more than the activities, this episode is a love letter to presence over perfection and a reminder that legacy isn’t what we leave—it’s how we live.

Whether you’re a mom, Grammy, mentor, or simply someone longing to bring more joy and intention to your everyday life, this one’s for you.

Tune in to hear:

Why “Grammy Camp” changed everything

How little ones can teach us to slow down and really see

The sacred gift of emotional regulation and showing up on purpose

And why peanut butter-stained dresses are sometimes the best ones 🧡

✨ Legacy is written in the ordinary moments. Let’s start living it now.

If your calendar feels like pure chaos, you’re not alone—but what if the key to more peace, purpose, and energy isn’t doing more, but creating a rhythm that supports you?

In this episode, Dr. Edie and Emme unpack the underestimated magic of routine—how crafting simple, sustainable rhythms can unlock your creativity, anchor your nervous system, and help you actually enjoy your life. Whether you're a spontaneous soul who resists structure or a busy mama juggling 10 things at once, this conversation will reframe the way you think about your daily schedule.

You’ll learn:

How a well-crafted routine becomes a sacred anchor for your day

Why spontaneity thrives inside of structure

How Dr. Edie plans her weeks with themed days (plus a peek at her schedule!)

The power of morning rituals—even if you’re not a “morning person”

How writing things down builds trust, momentum, and joy

This is your reminder: you’re the one designing your life. Let’s make it meaningful, one rhythm at a time.

Ever wonder what really happens inside a life coaching session? In this candid, wisdom-packed episode, Emme and Dr. Edie go behind the scenes to share the three most common struggles women bring to coaching—and how to begin healing and moving forward through each one.

From learning how to regulate your emotions, to quieting that inner critic, to reconnecting with your purpose (no matter your age or season), this conversation is both practical and soul-stirring. Whether you’re feeling stuck, lost, or just ready for more, this episode will remind you: you're not alone—and there are tools and truths that can truly change your life.

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.

Sometimes it’s not about doing more—it’s about letting go of what no longer serves you.

Today we are discussing eight things we’ve decided to stop doing—from people-pleasing and over-functioning to apologizing for the things that make us unique (like line dancing and going to bed at 8pm).

This episode is equal parts lighthearted banter and deep reflection, because saying “no more” to old habits is sometimes the most powerful form of self-leadership.

We’re diving into:

You’ll laugh, you’ll nod in agreement, and you might just be inspired to make your own “not doing this anymore” list.

Today’s episode is the second part of our series on what it means to become a woman who leads herself—and this one is deeply personal and powerful. 💛

We’re diving into the inner work of leadership—learning to expand our emotional range and build real, lasting resilience. I share an honest and sacred story from a recent “porch sit” with my girls (you’ll want to grab a tissue), and how these moments of vulnerability and grace are the true markers of emotional strength.

In this episode, we explore:

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually do the inner work that leads to more peace, productivity, and purpose—this episode is for you.

And friend? This is not about working harder—it’s about becoming more open, more available, and more anchored in who God created you to be.

Hey friends!

This episode has been a long time coming—and it’s one I think all of us need. Whether you’ve been struggling to stay focused, constantly grabbing your phone without thinking, or feeling a little too dependent on your daily scroll or snack, you’re not alone.

I hear women say all the time, “I think I have ADHD,” and honestly, most of us are living in a world that practically guarantees distraction. The rise of cheap dopamine—from social media, food, shopping, and more—makes it so easy to choose quick hits of pleasure over the deeper, more fulfilling stuff. And it’s leaving us more disconnected, drained, and scattered than ever.

In this episode, Emme and I talk about:

This is for you if you’ve ever felt like your brain works a little differently (same, friend), or if you want practical, grace-filled steps to use your time and energy more intentionally.

We’re not here to shame you into change—we’re here to help you fall in love with how your beautiful brain works and give you tools to work with it, not against it.

So grab your coffee (or your cozy walk shoes), and let’s have a little heart-to-heart about how to stop chasing quick fixes and start living from your true, joy-filled self. 💛

Love you big,

Dr. Edie
