Are you living in constant fight or flight? Stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and fear might feel normal—but they don’t have to define your life.

320. Faith, Medicine & Mental Health: A Story of Healing with Caiti Riden, FNP, PMHNP / Part 1 Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

Today is extra special. My daughter Caiti Riden, NP (mental health nurse practitioner, lifelong learner, and absolute light) finally sat in the House of Joy chair. She opens up about her panic attacks in nursing school, a long season of depression and brain fog, and how faith, science, movement, and mentorship helped her rebuild a grounded, hope-filled life—one she now pours into her patients.

Don’t miss Part 2

This conversation ran long (because it’s just that good!), so this is Part 1. Part 2 drops next week.

In this episode:

Growing up with grit: failing an early exam → learning how to really study
The first panic attacks, the “haze,” and why depression can feel like isolation in a crowded room
The role of faith in the dark: clinging to Psalm 40 and praying through brain fog
ICU nights, compassion fatigue, and how environment impacts mental health
Why Caiti chose integrative psychiatry and the power of a humble mentor
Exercise as medicine: why 3–4 moderate/intense workouts per week can rival an antidepressant
Whole-person care: meds + mindset + lifestyle + spiritual support (no one lever fixes everything)
Agency vs. overwhelm: what The Body Keeps the Score taught us about healing

If you’re in a tough season

You’re not broken and you’re not alone. This episode is your reminder that healing is possible, help is real, and hope is not naive—it’s fuel.

Next week, Caiti and I go deeper on practical tools, boundaries that heal (not harden), and how she cares for her patients and herself without burning out.

— With so much love, Edie

319. How to Love People Without Losing Yourself: Why Boundaries, Truth, and Joy Matter More Than Approval Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

If you’ve ever felt fried, frazzled, and weirdly resentful while trying to keep everyone else happy… this one’s for you. As a recovering people-pleaser, I’m sharing how to love fully without outsourcing your worth, absorbing everyone’s moods, or abandoning your own voice. We’ll talk about true self vs. false self, what healthy boundaries really are (and aren’t), and why self-doubt is one of the biggest energy leaks in midlife.

In this episode you’ll learn

How to spot “losing yourself”: constant external validation, silencing your needs, carrying emotions that aren’t yours.
True self vs. false self: dropping the mask, living from belovedness, and becoming a “woman of valor.”
Boundaries done right: sovereign choices versus trying to control other people.
End the self-doubt spiral: reclaim the energy you’re leaking to second-guessing.
Your body keeps score: the biology behind people-pleasing vs. living in truth, gratitude, and joy.
Simple shifts to try this week so you can love from overflow, not depletion.

318. Why I Don’t Believe in Manifestation (and What I Teach Instead) Sep 11, 2025

Show notes

Today Emaleigh and I wade into a big, buzzy topic: manifestation. Spoiler: I don’t subscribe to it—at least not the way it’s often taught. Instead, I share a faith-rooted framework I call the Law of Creation: partnering with God to renew your mind, steward your emotions, and take aligned action that shapes your life—and the room you’re in.

We talk about why “waiting for the universe” feels passive and self-focused, and how living as a creator (image-bearer language!) is active, relational, and legacy-minded. We also touch on the “observer effect,” the felt reality of our “energetic signature,” and why processing all emotions (not fearing the “low vibes”) actually helps your body and your life.

Manifestation vs. Creation: why one keeps you waiting and the other gets you moving
Faith + “Energy” without the woo: thoughts, emotions, and the observer effect in everyday life
Your energetic signature: the mood you bring and how rooms respond
Emotions as fuel: why we don’t avoid sadness, disappointment, or grief
From default to design: identity, habits, and showing up as who God made you to be
Real-life stories: how staying in creation mode opened surprising doors (hello, lake lot!)
Simple resets: church/communion, journaling, movement, gratitude, and tiny purposeful actions

Show notes

In this episode I share why so many of us slip into “safe” (aka stagnant) living, how to recognize the signs of drifting, and the simple, daily choices that move you into creation mode. We’ll talk about thoughts, emotions, habits, legacy—and why raising your standards changes everything. Also: a little lake-lot story that proves bold moves bring big life. 😉

The sobering stat: why most people live on autopilot—and how not to be one of them
Signs you’re drifting (and why “safe” is actually draining)
Creation mode 101: think, feel, act on purpose
Raising your standards: thoughts, emotions, habits, and worth
How living “as if” collapses time and builds real confidence

Show notes

If you’ve ever worried your house is “too small” or “not ready” to host, this conversation will change the way you see hospitality.

I’m joined by my dear friend Jessica Garvin, who has a one-of-a-kind gift for making people feel like they belong. Together, we talk about her magical childhood, the traditions she’s created for her own family (driveway donuts, anyone?), and why fun is a non-negotiable in both home and business.

315. 4 Ways I’m Creating a Cozy Home (& Life) This Fall Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

I just got home from a little trip with some of my dearest friends, and it has me thinking a lot about the power of home. Not just the walls around us, but the atmosphere we create for ourselves and the people we love.

As we transition from the brightness of summer into the cozy rhythms of fall, I’m sharing four ways to create a home and life you truly love:

✨ Why you are the thermostat of your home — and how your energy and mindset set the tone more than décor ever could. ✨ The simple rhythms and rituals that anchor your days and shift the atmosphere. ✨ How to engage all of your senses to make home feel welcoming, cozy, and alive. ✨ The art of “romanticizing the ordinary” so you can slow time down and savor the little things.

This season is such a beautiful invitation to reset, refresh, and enjoy the ordinary moments that make life meaningful. So grab your coffee, light a candle, and let’s talk about building spaces — and lives — that feel warm, intentional, and full of joy.

If this conversation stirs something in you, we’re diving even deeper inside Life Mentoring School this month, where September is all about home. You can join us here https://www.ediewadsworthcoaching.com/join !

314. Rethinking Procrastination — Why You’re Not Lazy Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

Today’s conversation is one that’s so real for so many of us: procrastination.

If you’ve ever found yourself scrubbing the kitchen floor, reorganizing your closet, or redesigning your Canva templates instead of doing the one thing on your list—you’re not alone. And guess what? You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And nothing is wrong with you.

In this episode, Emme and I take some inspiration from a recent Huberman Lab podcast and dive into a deeper, more compassionate perspective on procrastination. We’ll unpack: ✨ Why procrastination isn’t about laziness—it’s about unprocessed emotions. ✨ The surprising role fear, perfectionism, and even grief play in why we delay tasks. ✨ How procrastination can actually be your brain’s way of preparing you. ✨ Simple, grace-filled strategies to move forward—like creating small wins, reframing the story, and giving yourself space to feel.

We get really personal in this one. I even share how wedding emotions snuck up on me (cue the tears 😭) and how processing them unlocked clarity and momentum. You’ll leave with practical tools and, I hope, a fresh sense of kindness toward yourself.

Because procrastination doesn’t define you—it can actually teach you. And when you lean in, honor your emotions, and take one small step, you’ll be amazed at what you can create.

With love, Edie

313. 4 Habits That 10x’d My Life, Income & Joy! Aug 26, 2025

Show notes

313. 4 Habits That 10x’d My Life, Income & Joy!

I just wrapped up hosting my Next Level Summit and I’m still overflowing with gratitude—not just for the event itself, but for the way God has shown me again and again that living in alignment with who He created me to be changes everything.

Today I’m sharing 4 habits that have truly 10x’d my life, my income, and my joy. And no, they’re probably not what you’d guess. They’re not about working harder or hustling more—they’re about simplifying, aligning your daily actions with your deepest desires, and living with more intention and presence.

Inside, I’ll walk you through: ✨ How ruthless simplicity brings more peace than you ever imagined. ✨ The daily practices of deep inner work that keep me grounded and creative. ✨ Why small, consistent actions build massive trust with yourself. ✨ The power of rest, sacred space, and allowing yourself to refuel.

If you’ve been craving a way of living that feels lighter, more joyful, and more aligned with God’s calling on your life, this episode is for you.

And friend, I want you to actually grab a piece of paper while you listen. On one side, write your true heart’s desires. On the other side, write the actions you’re currently taking. Do they line up? This little exercise could shift everything for you, the way it has for me.

I pray this conversation inspires you to simplify, refocus, and take one small step toward the life God is calling you to live.

💌 If you’re listening in real time, we still have just a few spots left in our Life Coach Certification for next year. If you feel called to lead, coach, or serve at a deeper level—this might be your nudge.

Ever feel stuck in the same negative cycles of thinking, like you’re wearing the same tired “outfit” in your mind every day? What if you could shop your thoughts the way you shop your closet—and choose ones that actually help you create the life you want?

In this episode of House of Joy, Edie and Emme pull back the curtain on one of the most powerful tools we teach in Life Mentoring School: the Creation Cycle. Together, we break down how your thoughts, feelings, and actions all weave together to shape your life—whether you’re aware of it or not.

We’ll share:

Why changing your thoughts is the key to real, lasting transformation
How to recognize the “default” thought patterns keeping you stuck
Simple ways to interrupt the cycle and create new results in your life
A biblical perspective on renewing your mind and taking your thoughts captive
Practical examples (yes, even a puffy-sleeved shirt makes the cut!)

This conversation will help you see your thoughts differently and empower you to create a more intentional, joy-filled, God-centered life.

So grab a coffee, come hang out with us, and let’s shop your thought closet together.
