184. Unlocking Emotional Freedom, Part 8: Change Your Emotional State, Change Your Life
This is part 8 of our Emotional Freedom series, so make sure you start from Part 1!!
Why does your emotional life feel like a mess?
Because you’ve been led to believe one of two things—that you can’t trust your feelings or that you just have no power over them at all. And both messages are damaging and miss the God given wisdom available to us when we see emotions for what they are and learn how to welcome them and learn from them.
That’s what I’m going to teach you here. You are about to find the sweetest freedom. You are about to experience your life in a way you only dreamed about. You are about to become everything God made you to be, everything you already are, just without all exhaustion that comes from numbing and hiding and pretending. You are about to make this day 1000 times better. And tomorrow, and the day after that and the day after that. We actually only have this one day, this very moment. It’s worth it to make it the best it can be, no matter what life throws at us.
Your most extraordinary life awaits you on the other side of what you’ve been unwilling to say and feel and acknowledge.

178. Unlocking Emotional Freedom, Part 5 : Reframing
This is part 5 of our Emotional Freedom series, so make sure you start from Part 1!!
What I’ve learned after years of studying the science behind how our brains and bodies work is that emotions are a good gift from the God who made you. They are the kindest of messengers. And you have way more control of them than you think.
I daresay they are your superpower—your most important God given gift to promote connection, personal growth, and the full, rich life you secretly dream about.
Why does your emotional life feel like a mess then?
Because you’ve been led to believe one of two things—that you can’t trust your feelings or that you just have no power over them at all. And both messages are damaging and miss the God given wisdom available to us when we see emotions for what they are and learn how to welcome them and learn from them.
That’s what I’m going to teach you here. You are about to find the sweetest freedom. You are about to experience your life in a way you only dreamed about. You are about to become everything God made you to be, everything you already are, just without all exhaustion that comes from numbing and hiding and pretending. You are about to make this day 1000 times better. And tomorrow, and the day after that and the day after that. We actually only have this one day, this very moment. It’s worth it to make it the best it can be, no matter what life throws at us.

177. Worth, Belonging and the Lure of the Inner Circle
Our need to belong and “fit in” is primal. When we're seeking to fit in, we shape shift, and we perform. We do it because we're afraid, and usually for good reason, love has been withheld from us.
We change who we are into who we think that group wants instead of learning to be our authentic true selves. We wear masks.
In today’s episode Edie and Emme discuss what it means to truly belong and create belonging for ourselves!
We hope you enjoy today's conversation! Leave a review and let us know what else you want to hear about from us!

BONUS: The Art Of Living Well
Your body can turn on its stress response by thought alone.
You don't have to BE in a stressful situation for those hormones to do their damage. You can be sitting at your kitchen table perfectly safe, thinking stressful thoughts and your body doesn't know the difference between that and what is happening at the moment.
It will start pumping out the hormones of stress ANYTIME you're worrying and overthinking and feeling overwhelmed.
So, you're sitting in your kitchen thinking about your 20 something son and everything that's going wrong right now in his life. You're ruminating over your last conversation with him and worrying about his job and his drinking and his new friends.
You wonder if you were too hard on him. You try to call him and he doesn't answer. You text. You text again. You wake up the next morning feeling anxious, then you remember that he never texted you back.
What has often happened is that your body has become addicted to this stress cycle and today, you think your son is the reason, but tomorrow it might be your bank balance or a fight with your spouse or you job.
When you condition your brain and body to stress, it gets REALLY good at making stress a habit. So much so that you're not even conscious you're doing it to yourself.
And it's NOT to say that life isn't really hard sometimes or that you shouldn't be concerned about your son or your bank account or your spouse, the question is: Are you helping the situation by making yourself literally sick with stress hormones?
And most of us women over 40 have become addicted to these hormones, that this just feels normal to us.
But it's not normal and our bodies were not built to handle the chronic level of stress hormones that our bodies are making everyday.
It's making us irritable and exhausted and sick. We've lost our joy, we're lost our favorite version of ourselves.
If this feels all too familiar, you do not want to miss our BRAND NEW 3 day workshop on THE ART OF LIVING WELL: BREAK FREE FROM STRESS & OVERWHELM. MASTER YOUR EMOTIONS. CREATE YOUR EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.
We will dive deep into the science of stress and your response to it, how stress morphs into chronic anxiety and simple and practical solutions for how to overcome it.
You'll learn how to rewire your brain to be way more resilient so that ultimately you can experience more joy, energy, and vitality!
This is all brand new material and may be our most important workshop to date! For the price of a Starbucks, your experience of your life could change drastically!
RESERVE YOUR SPOT FOR $7
Stress and overwhelm can drain you of so much of your life energy. It's time to stop the cycle and start living your most intentional and purposeful life.
You are extraordinary, don't let stress rob you of any more time! ✨
All my love,
Dr. Edie
