House of Joy- Christian Life Coaching

What is God’s will for my life? Did I really hear God tell me to do that? These are questions we as christians have probably asked ourselves! How do you know if you are doing the right thing or if God is going to be pleased with your decisions? In today’s episode, Edie and Emme discuss times in their own lives where they wondered if they were on the right path or in accordance with God’s will. Change can be scary and hard, especially when you are not sure what the right decision to make in your life is! Edie and Emme have both been there and want to remove the mystery and scariness when it comes to God’s will and life transitions!!

We are often taught that some emotions are bad and some are more virtuous, but the truth is, all emotions are a gift from God, each carrying its own sacred purpose. Negative emotions—such as fear, sadness, anger, and grief—are not adversaries to be vanquished but rather sacred messengers, guiding us toward growth and healing. All of our emotions are a good gift from God. They are part of what it means to be human, designed to help us connect with ourselves, God and others. Instead of fearing or avoiding our emotions, we can invite God into them, allowing Him to work through them and transform us in the process. Join us this month in LIFE MENTORING SCHOOL as we explore how to implement all of this on a daily basis so you can unlock FREEDOM and JOY in your life. http://ediewadsworthcoaching.com/enroll   Connect with us!!

Confidence is more than self-belief; it's about managing your mind and actions, which can significantly enhance relationships. The discussion highlights the journey from self-doubt to self-awareness, using humorous anecdotes and personal stories to illustrate its impact. Embracing vulnerability and committing to personal growth fosters deeper connections. Listeners are encouraged to practice self-kindness and reflect on their experiences, all while exploring the playful dynamics of generational communication. It's a light-hearted yet insightful exploration of confidence in love and life.

Emotions color our lives with depth and richness. They drive our actions, they contain wisdom and lessons, they provide contrast, and are THE WAY we experience our lives. Yet, for many women over 40, we've been conditioned to believe they are something to be avoided at all cost. We've been told to ignore them, rise above them, numb them, resist them, hide them, medicate them, anything to not feel them. We've been told they don't matter and nothing could be farther from the truth. Our emotions carry a reservoir of wisdom and resilience forged through the crucible of lived experience. And to ignore them is to ignore our deepest wisdom, our greatest ally. In embracing our emotions, we reclaim connection, authenticity, resilience and power—the power to live as our true selves, to love fiercely, and thrive in our callings. The key to unlocking emotional freedom is to welcome all of our emotions and with all the courage and vulnerability it requires. To go deeper into this topic, join us in LIFE MENTORING SCHOOL, our monthly mentorship program where we guide you back to your true self. http://ediewadsworthcoaching.com/enroll Connect with us!!

GET OUR ON WAITLIST for Christian Life Coach Certification. Enrollment opens opens in April 2024 http://ediewadsworthcoaching.com/certification I struggled with my past for as long as I can remember. I tortured myself with thoughts about my past. I finally learned that I could keep thinking those thoughts FOR SURE no one could take them from me against my will, but the only person they were hurting was ME. And all the resentment that I had built up to try to protect myself was poisoning ME from the inside out. My past happened to me, yes, but I didn't want my brain to keep such an intent focus on it. And my brain would rebel when I would try to rewrite the story. I finally had the courage to look at my past from a different point of view and I began to rewrite the story and REWIRE my brain and I felt one MILLION Pounds lighter!

If your journals could talk, what would they say? For some, their journals would say nothing at all… but not after this episode!! Journaling is a MASTER TOOL. You can transform your past, your trauma, your limiting beliefs, to visualize your future and so many other things. It's a form of meditation that forces us to slow down, to think about what we think about. Frequent journaling (multiple times per week) can be as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy and can change the ACTUAL makeup of your brain, as well as decrease your levels of stress hormones. Every journaling session lowers your brain’s reactions, making them less intense, and allows your feelings to become more elaborate. In this episode, Edie and Emme have a deep conversation about journaling in their own lives and the amazing tool it has been for them. Journal Prompts: 1. Name 5 things that make you feel the most fulfilled and why? 2. What are you most excited about right now? 3. Make a list of 25 hard things that you have done in your life that you are proud of. 4. What do you want more of in 2024, and what do you want less of?
