379. This Is Why Your Life Isn’t Changing (It’s Not What You Think) Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

What if the reason you’re not getting the results you want… has nothing to do with your circumstances?

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most powerful concepts I’ve ever practiced and taught—how your internal state (your thoughts, emotions, and energy) is shaping everything in your life.

After a transformative weekend at our House of Joy coaches retreat, I saw this truth more clearly than ever: it’s not what’s happening around you—it’s who you’re being within it.

Even in the middle of hard things, you can choose a different way of showing up.

This episode will gently challenge how you think about change—and invite you into a more peaceful, powerful way of living.

We talk about:

Why most of us believe external things need to change first
How your emotional state shapes your entire life experience
The difference between living in:

Fear, shame, anxiety (low-energy states)
Love, joy, peace, gratitude (high-energy states)

How your nervous system plays into this (fight-or-flight vs. rest-and-trust)
Why being around people who live at a higher level is so powerful
How your “energetic signature” impacts your relationships, your work, and your results

378. The 3-Part Code of Your Highest Self: Thoughts, Emotions, Actions Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

What if the life you want isn’t something you have to wait for… but something you can start living today?

In this short but powerful episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite frameworks I teach inside Life Mentoring School: the 3-part code of your highest self.

We’re talking about how to shift your thoughts, create your emotional life on purpose, and take aligned action—so you can start showing up as the version of you who already lives the life you want.

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming more of who you already are.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, reactive, or disconnected from the life you want… you are just going to LOVE this one.

376. 5 “Weird” Things We Did as a Family (That I’m Now So Grateful For) Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

This episode is a little different… and so much fun.

Today Emme and I are sitting down for a lighthearted conversation about the “weird” things we did as a family growing up—things she definitely didn’t love at the time 😅

But here’s the funny part…

She’s starting to do a lot of them now.

We talk about:

Growing up in an “ingredient household” (and why that actually mattered)
Why I made the girls do daily “rest time” (and why they’d bring it back!)
Our stance on sleepovers—and how it shaped safety and connection
Driving an hour to church every single Sunday for 20 years
Creating a home that felt joyful, colorful, and a little unconventional

And underneath all the laughter, there’s something deeper:

The rhythms and traditions you create in your home matter more than you think.

Even the ones your kids roll their eyes at 😉

Because one day… they might just carry them into their own lives.

This one is cozy, funny, and full of heart—and I think you’ll see a little bit of your own family in it too.

375. What This Sweater Taught Me About Hard Seasons, Growth & Receiving Support Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

This is a short episode, but it carries a lot of heart.

Today I’m telling you a story about a sweater… but really, it’s a story about growth, hard seasons, and who we’re becoming in the middle of it all.

I started a knitting project that I definitely was not ready for. At first glance, it felt overwhelming—too complicated, too intricate, too much.

And honestly? That’s exactly how some seasons of life feel.

But slowly, with patience, help, and a whole lot of staying with it, something shifted.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why hard seasons often feel like “too much” at first
How growth happens through staying, not rushing
The beauty of learning something you once thought you couldn’t do
Why the hard things in your life may be forming something in you
The powerful (and often overlooked) practice of receiving support
How to recognize the love and help that’s already surrounding you

One of the biggest lessons I’m learning right now is this:

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to stay.

And maybe—just maybe—this season is teaching you something you’ll carry for the rest of your life.

I love you so much. I’m so grateful you’re here.

374. If You Feel Far from God: Finding Him in the Middle of Hard Seasons! Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

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 episode, we talk about:

Why hard seasons can make God feel distant—even when He’s not
The very real emotions that come up (anger, grief, confusion… all of it)
How God meets us through people, small moments, and everyday grace
The spiritual rhythms that have grounded our family for years
Why you don’t need a “perfect” faith routine to feel close to God
How suffering can open our eyes to what really matters

One of the biggest things I’ve been reminded of in this season is this:

You don’t have to strive to find God. He is already with you.

Sometimes it just looks like noticing Him in the smallest places—a prayer before dinner, a Sunday drive to church, a kind text from a friend, or even a sweater you’ve carried through hard days.

If you’re in a season where things feel uncertain or heavy, I hope this episode feels like a deep breath… and a reminder that you are held.

We love you so much. Truly.

373. 7 Signs You’re Living From Your Ego (And How to Come Back to Your True Self) Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

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 ourselves, perform, compare, and prove.

But that way of living? It’s exhausting.

And the beautiful truth is… it’s not how you were created to live.

In this episode, I walk you through 7 signs you might be living from your ego, including:

Constantly feeling evaluated or self-conscious
Getting defensive or over-explaining
Living with pressure and urgency
Comparing yourself to others
Struggling to receive love or compliments
Avoiding discomfort and playing small
Feeling disconnected from yourself

And then we talk about what to do next—how to gently come back to the version of you that is: grounded, loved, peaceful, and whole.

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to who you already are.

372. The Freedom of Being Who God Created You to Be with Susan Shull Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

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 found yourself constantly comparing… If you’ve wondered, “Who am I really, underneath all of this?”…

This conversation is for you.

Susan shares her journey from people pleasing and seeking approval to discovering a deeper, more grounded identity rooted in who God says she is. And let me tell you—it’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about waking up to who you’ve been all along.

We talk about:

The difference between your true self and false self
Why comparison keeps you stuck (even when you “know better”)
How confidence is actually rooted in identity—not ego
The small, brave “yeses” that change everything
What it looks like to live your life from love instead of fear

One of my favorite parts of this conversation is the reminder that this isn’t a one-time transformation—it’s a daily practice. A coming back. A remembering.

And the freedom on the other side? It changes everything.
