If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb, when it comes, find us doing sensible and human things -- praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts -- not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs.”  ― C.S. Lewis In this week's episode of The House of Joy, we dive deep into navigating life’s toughest challenges with grace, resilience, and faith. Dr. Edie and her daughter Emme get real about the power of processing emotions, especially during those moments when it feels like life is falling apart. From losing a home to walking through seasons of uncertainty, they share personal stories, heartfelt insights, and practical tips to help you embrace the hard stuff—without adding unnecessary suffering. Discover why it’s essential to let yourself fully feel your emotions and how finding comfort in simple, everyday routines can be a game-changer.  Episode Resources: J Crew Bracelets Parker Thatch Necklace  Tomato Red Quarter Zip  Battery Operated Candles  If you like this episode, check out some of our other favorites here:  Ep 204: Are You Satisfied With Your Life?!

DECIDE NOW HOW TO THINK: "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he," says the scriptures. If you don't decide ahead of time what you want to think about and focus on, your mind will naturally go to everything that's wrong.  You'll complain a lot and judge and compare and spend too much time in negativity. DECIDE AHEAD OF TIME.  What do you want to meditate on and think about and focus on?  80% of what we spend our time thinking about and focusing on is spent on things that don't give us the life we want. Decide now to focus on things that are good and lovely and life giving.  DECIDE HOW TO FEEL: I know it seems counterintuitive, but you really are in control of how you feel.  You have habits of emotions that you have memorized and learned over time and many of them are not serving you.  DECIDE AHEAD OF TIME how you want to feel. Maybe your body has memorized overwhelm and anxiety, but you don't have to stay in those emotions. Give yourself some understanding and love them some love, allow those negative emotions and then DECIDE how you want to feel.  Life is too short to stay stuck in negative emotions but we must be willing to be with them and feel them and process them. THEN, we are free to decide to generate the emotions we want. DECIDE WHAT TO DO: 80% of what we spend our time doing is spent on things that don't give us the life we want. But when you fuel your life with the thinking and emotions you want, you will feel driven to what matters to you. When you do this you start BEING who you want to be.  I’ve been living my life this way for the last several years and I’m amazed at how mentally and emotionally resilient I have become. That's available for you too.   AND? I designed my 90 Day Dream Planner as the PERFECT companion to this process. 🙌   These were custom designed for helping my clients in 💖LIFE MENTORING SCHOOL 💖 get unstuck and make MASSIVE progress toward their goals and we are all now OBSESSED with this planner!
