House of Joy- Christian Life Coaching

This episode is a really special one. We’re sitting down during Holy Week, in the middle of a season that has felt both beautiful and incredibly hard for our family. And we wanted to just have an honest, heartfelt conversation about what it’s like when life feels heavy… and God feels far. Because if you’ve ever been there (and I think we all have), you know how disorienting it can feel. In this ep...

This is one of those episodes that might make you pause and think… oh wow, that’s me. And I just want you to know—this comes with so much love. Today we’re talking about something that affects every single one of us: the difference between living from your ego (false self) and living from your true self. Most of us learned, without even realizing it, how to live in survival mode—how to protect our...

What if the freedom you’re looking for isn’t found in becoming someone new—but in finally becoming who you already are? I’m joined by the incredible Susan Shull—someone who so beautifully embodies what it means to live as your true self—and we’re diving into one of the most important conversations we have inside Life Mentoring School. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to fit in… If you’ve fou...

I’m coming to you from a tender, uncertain season—one where I don’t have all the answers and can’t quite map out the next 90 days the way I normally would. And if you’ve ever walked through something like that, you know how disorienting it can feel. But even here… there is still so much goodness. In this episode, I’m sharing what’s been anchoring me lately—the thoughts, practices, and gentle shift...

Hi, dear ones — Today I’m bringing back one of my favorite conversations from last year, all about the kind of glow up that really matters — the one that starts on the inside. In this episode, Emme and I talk about beauty, style, skincare, confidence, and the things that truly make a woman magnetic. And while we do share some fun favorites along the way, what we really get into is this: the most p...

This episode is a little different than usual. The last couple of weeks have been some of the hardest our family has faced. We recently received news that will likely change the next several months of our lives and will involve treatments, medical decisions, and a lot of unknowns. I’m not quite ready to share all the details yet because some of it is still unfolding and involves people I love dear...

Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Jessica Honegger, founder of Noonday Collection, and I cannot tell you how much I loved this conversation. I’ve been wearing and loving Noonday pieces for years, so getting to sit down with Jessica and talk about the heart behind what she’s built felt extra special. We talk about what it really looks like to build something meaningful over the long haul — not ju...

Today is a special, extra-fun episode because Emme and I are literally twinning (matching sets, matching Uggs… the whole thing). And it felt like the perfect day to talk about a theme that keeps popping up in our lives lately: “I’m becoming my mother.” Emme is in her becoming a mother era (baby girl on the way!), and I’m in my becoming a Grammy who knits baby bonnets era… so naturally, this conver...

Hi dear ones 💛 This episode is so special because I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes teaching from our spring workshop, The Confidence Code — and truly, this work has changed my life. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I don’t even know her anymore…” If you’ve felt your spark dim. If you’ve wondered whether your best days are behind you. This is for you. In this teaching, I walk yo...

Today we are talking about something every human needs: the art of restarting. Because let’s be honest… most of us aren’t struggling with starting—we’re struggling with what happens after we fall off. If you’ve ever had a great routine going and then life happened… if you’ve ever told yourself “I’m just not consistent,” or “I always quit,” this episode is for you. We’re reframing restarting as a s...

Today we’re talking about something that might sound light — but is actually deeply meaningful. We’re talking about style. Not trends. Not fast fashion. Not “what’s in.” But identity. Presence. Expression. Becoming. I truly believe 2026 is the year we stop dressing small. In this episode, I share what’s been stirring in me as I plan my capsule wardrobe for our Mediterranean trip (Greece + Italy, h...

363. 5 Ways to Fall Back in Love With Your Life! Feeling a little bored, restless, apathetic… or like you’re just going through the motions? In today’s episode, Emme and I talk about 5 practical ways to fall back in love with your life — not by “blowing it all up,” but by becoming more present, more intentional, and more emotionally available for the life you already have. Because here’s the truth...

In this episode of House of Joy, I’m sharing five standards I no longer negotiate in midlife. For years, I negotiated with myself about things that deeply mattered — my strength, my sleep, my emotional health, my hormones, my spiritual life. I told myself I was “fine.” I told myself I’d get to it later. I told myself it wasn’t that important. But here’s what I’ve learned: If you want to live with...

Today you’re in for such a treat — my sister Gina is on the podcast! We’re talking about sisterhood, family, healing, and the kind of bond that’s forged when you’ve walked through life side-by-side. We start with the sweetest recap of our Key West surprise trip for our mom’s 80th birthday (including the restaurant moment that made us all cry… and the golf cart adventures we’ll never forget). Then...

In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a quieter, more tender conversation about what it really means to love well. This has been a season full of anticipation and preparation in my life — birthdays, babies, travel, knitting projects, extra food on the stove, and lots of behind-the-scenes tending. And on the very same day I recorded this, I was also having a deeply tender day myself — the kind...

It’s officially love month, and we’re leaning all the way in. In this episode, Edie and Emme share 10 (okay… maybe 12) practical, real-life ways to show love—the kind that actually makes people feel seen, safe, and cared for. We start with a mindset shift we learned years ago: lovability doesn’t come from the other person—it comes from your ability to love them. Which means you have more agency th...

This episode was born out of a weekend that cracked my heart wide open. My siblings and I surprised my mama for her 80th birthday in Key West, and watching her soak in love and connection made me reflect on something I see all the time in midlife women — and something I’ve had to work through myself. There’s one emotion that quietly drains our joy, steals our energy, and keeps us living in a low-g...

Well hi, dear ones! Today’s episode is a fun one. We wanted to do something a little lighter, a little more “front porch chat”… but still so good. We’re sharing five pieces of advice we’re genuinely grateful we didn’t take — because whew, we live in an age where everyone has an opinion on how you should live, love, work, and make decisions. And a lot of that “advice” sounds wise… until you actuall...

What if you haven’t even scratched the surface of the life you could have? In this episode, I invite you into a question that has been lingering in my own heart lately — especially as I reflect on a full, beautiful year and look ahead with fresh curiosity and hope. So many women I work with love their lives and are deeply grateful… yet still feel a quiet sense of disengagement. Life looks good on...

It’s a cozy “back on the couch” episode in the actual House of Joy — and it’s full of real life, real laughter, and a brand new year energy we can actually feel. Dr. Edie and Emme are sharing 7 surprising things they’re carrying into 2026… and yes, there’s a very big, very joyful announcement you’ll want to hear early in the episode. From slowing down in January (without guilt), to treating attent...

January isn’t about hustling harder or proving anything — it’s an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself. In this cozy, reflective episode, I am reflecting on why January is my favorite month and how a pile of half-finished knitting projects became a powerful metaphor for midlife, creativity, and self-compassion. So many women carry quiet shame about what they haven’t finishe...

In today’s episode, Edie sits down with one of the most beloved voices in the House of Joy community: Alene Joiner—coach, teacher, mother of six, and a woman who has lived the work she teaches. Edie and Alene take us behind the scenes of their friendship (which began in life coach certification), the early days of Life Mentoring School, and how coaching becomes truly transformational when it’s roo...

Most women don’t experience a new year. They experience the same year… with a different number on the calendar. In this powerful start to 2026, Dr. Edie Wadsworth invites you into an honest conversation about something we rarely name out loud: the quiet cost of staying the same. This episode isn’t about goals, habits, or hustle. It’s about what slowly gets lost when we settle into comfort, delay c...

351. Stop Living the Same Year on Repeat! Made for More Day 1 We’re sharing a powerful excerpt from Day 1 of the Made for More workshop—and it’s the foundation for real change in 2026. Most people don’t actually experience a new year… they experience the same year with a different number. If your days have felt like Groundhog Day—same mental loops, same emotional patterns, same quiet feeling that...

Most women I know don’t want more to do… but they do want to experience their lives differently.  In this episode, we’re talking about why the “more” you’re craving—more peace, joy, clarity, energy, and presence—isn’t found in doing more or fixing your life from the outside in. Real change happens inside-out. And when your inner world shifts, your whole life starts to feel different—even if your c...
