House of Joy- Christian Life Coaching

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: Why we’re done explaining ourselves to people who already have their minds made up What guilt-free rest really looks like Letting go of perfection, complaining, and “doing it all” energy The hidden ways we try to control people—and how to stop The powerful mindset shift of saying yes with your whole heart (or not at all) You’ll laugh, you’ll nod in agreement, and you might just be inspired to make your own “not doing this anymore” list.📝 Which one do you need to let go of most right now?

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: What it means to hold space for yourself and others in hard emotions Why your emotional range becomes your leadership ceiling The sacred gift of resilience—and how to grow it through surrender and truth How embracing your emotional capacity helps you lead your family, your work, and your life with deeper purpose Why this work is foundational for anyone feeling called to lead or coach others 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. 🧠 Want to go deeper with this kind of work?

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: The difference between cheap dopamine and deep, sustainable dopamine How dopamine works in the brain (especially for ADHD-type minds) The emotional roots of our screen time, scrolling, and snacking Why awareness without shame is the key to real change And how to reclaim your attention, purpose, and peace—one tiny reset at a time. 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. 💛Episode Resources: Striped Stanely- https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/stanley-40-ozquencher-h2-0-flowstate-tumbler-oasis-collection-25stau40zqnchrh20hyda/25stau40zqnchrh20hyda?sku=27061516&camp=CSE:DSG_92700080180039403_pla_pla-2299045250820_58700008719258945_71700000118775665&segment=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADv4bTbS42PwQ1swqhd4LwJuPQ6bR&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqv2_BhC0ARIsAFb5Ac-XzdOIFwHfcFZHu9vihDn35DOsQwb89HFlWPDvQyft5AThEjmfXZsaAihREALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds  Tecovas Suede Boots: https://www.tecovas.com/products/the-annie?color=fawn-suede  Love you big, Dr. Edie Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey sweet friends! I’ve got BIG news to share today—and a brand new series I cannot wait to dive into with you.🎉 First, we are officially part of the That Sounds Fun Podcast Network!

Not in the hustle-y, "be more, do more" kind of way. But in the deeply rooted, God-given kind of way. The kind that starts with leading yourself.In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to tell the truth to yourself about yourself—and why that is one of the most courageous, transformative things you can do.Here’s what we dive into: The moment I realized the problem wasn’t him… it was me (and how that changed everything in my marriage) Why self-leadership is rooted in radical honesty, resilience, and grace How the false self keeps you stuck—and how to reconnect to your true, God-created identity What Proverbs 31 really reveals about feminine power, purpose, and leadership The hard but holy work of letting go of victimhood, blame, and resentment to walk fully in your calling If you’ve ever felt torn between your desire for purpose and the pressure to be everything to everyone… this one's for you.This message is straight from my heart (and also from the curriculum I’m building for my Master Coach students, which I cannot wait to share more about soon!).

Do you ever find yourself saying, “I’m so tired”—on repeat? 😴Yep, us too. But what if your exhaustion isn’t just about sleep or hormones? What if the biggest energy leaks in your life are sneaky things like your thoughts, unprocessed emotions, and the way you're showing up for your life?We’re not just talking about sleep or hormones (although those matter too!). We’re diving deeper into the hidden energy leaks—like people-pleasing, over-functioning, not asking for help, and even pretending to be someone you’re not. 🙃I’m sharing from personal experience, because I’ve had some weeks recently where I felt completely tapped out. And I realized… a lot of it was coming from my thoughts, not my circumstances.So in this episode, we’re uncovering: Why saying “I’m tired” might be making things worse The emotional and mental load so many of us are carrying (and how to offload it) How I learned to be the creator of my own energy instead of the victim of it Simple shifts you can make today to feel more alive, more present, and more YOU 💛 We’re also talking about doling out hugs and hymns at Dollywood, lip gloss mishaps, Facebook chaos, and all the little things that make life feel magical again. Because energy isn’t just about doing less—it’s about bringing your whole heart to what matters.Want more energy? You don’t have to wait for life to slow down. You get to decide to show up differently, and I’ll show you how.✨ Want to take this deeper and finally stop living on autopilot? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
