371. Living Well in Uncertainty: Finding Peace When You Don’t Know What’s Next! Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

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 shifts that are helping me stay grounded, present, and connected to joy, even when life feels uncertain.

We talk about:

What to do when you can’t “plan” your next season
How to focus on what is certain when everything feels unknown
Choosing who you want to be, even when circumstances are shaky
Giving yourself compassion instead of pressure
Why continuing to create (in small ways) can be so healing
Staying open to joy, beauty, and tiny miracles right now
Simple, powerful thoughts to anchor you in hard seasons

If you’re feeling a little tender… a little out of sorts… or like life isn’t unfolding the way you expected—this is for you.

You are not alone. And there is still so much life available to you right here.

Also—Life Mentoring School is open right now, and we’re heading into one of my favorite seasons inside the program. If you’re ready to go deeper into this work and truly become the woman you’re meant to be, I’d love to have you join us

370. The Glow Up That Starts From the Inside Out // Best of 2025 Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

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 powerful transformation doesn’t come from a product, a trend, or a perfect outfit. It comes from the work you do in your heart, your mind, and your everyday life.

We talk about what it means to care for yourself well, how your emotional and mental health show up on your face and in your presence, and why real beauty has so much more to do with joy, confidence, and authenticity than anything external.

In this episode, we chat about:

Why the biggest glow up starts from the inside out
The difference between outer beauty and true magnetism
How joy, healing, and emotional health change the way you look and feel
The kind of presence that lights up a room
Taking care of your skin and body in a nourishing, realistic way
Personal style as self-expression and confidence
Some of our favorite skincare, fashion, and glow-up staples from last year

This one originally aired last year, but the message still feels so timely and so worth revisiting.

I hope it encourages you to care for yourself deeply, to honor the season you’re in, and to remember that your most radiant self is never about perfection — it’s about becoming more fully who God created you to be.

Love you so much.

369. 4 Anchors That Will Carry You Through Hard Seasons! Mar 17, 2026

Show notes

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 dearly. But I felt like I wanted to come on and share the anchors that have been holding me steady in this season.

Because what I’ve experienced in the middle of this hard moment is something surprising: deep peace, gratitude, and even joy.

Not because the situation is easy — but because the tools, faith, and practices I’ve been cultivating for years are carrying me through in ways I never could have imagined.

So today I’m sharing four anchors that have helped me navigate one of the hardest seasons of my life.

We talk about:

Deciding who you want to be in hard seasons
Why your brain naturally scans for fear (and how to widen your gaze)
Learning to notice tiny miracles even when life feels heavy
Allowing yourself to feel every emotion without being ruled by them
How faith and community become lifelines when things feel uncertain
Why joy can still exist in the middle of pain

One of the biggest things I’ve realized in the last two weeks is this:

We don’t get to choose many of the circumstances that come into our lives.

But we do get to choose how we show up inside them.

And the tools we talk about here at House of Joy — mindset, emotional capacity, faith, presence — matter most when life isn’t going the way we planned.

If you’re walking through a hard season right now, I hope this episode feels like a gentle companion.

And if you feel led, I would deeply appreciate your prayers for our family as we step into the unknown in the weeks ahead.

I love you all so much. Thank you for being here.

368. Building a Life & Business with Courage, Community, and Purpose with Jessica Honegger, Founder of Noonday Collection Mar 12, 2026

Show notes

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 just the pretty, polished parts, but the inner work, the risk, the resilience, and the courage it takes to stay when things get hard.

Jessica shares the story of how Noonday began, how motherhood and entrepreneurship collided in those early years, and what she means when she talks about “doing the work.” We talk about naming the stories we carry, building real community, letting ourselves be seen, and learning how to keep going with honesty and heart.

We also talk about:

how shame and secrecy keep women stuck
why being witnessed in safe community is so healing
the emotional and spiritual formation that happens through entrepreneurship
the difference between being a starter and becoming a stayer
what it looks like to build a business that reflects your values
why creating beauty, opportunity, and connection matters so much

And of course… we had to talk style too. We chat about Noonday’s newest collection, favorite statement pieces, travel style, and the shoes we’d wear to Italy and Greece.

This one is full of wisdom, honesty, and so much inspiration for any woman who wants to build something beautiful — whether that’s a business, a family, a community, or simply a more courageous life.

I hope you love this conversation as much as I did.

367. I’m Becoming My Mother (And Honestly… I Love It) Mar 05, 2026

Show notes

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 conversation turned into a funny, tender, unexpectedly meaningful reflection on what we inherit, what we emulate, and what we choose to do differently.

We talk about:

The moment Emme got ready for church and her husband said, “You literally look exactly like your mom.” 😂
How we change as we age—from FOMO to JOMO (the joy of missing out)
What it’s like when your home becomes your favorite place to be
The beautiful parts of family legacy (and the parts we want to rewrite)
Why “becoming your mother” can be a gift… even if your relationship with your mom is complicated
The kind of women (and communities) that make you feel seen, cared for, and fed—in every sense of the word

We also share some cozy-life favorites at the end: what we’re listening to, what we’re making, what we’re reading, and a few things that are bringing us joy right now.

If this episode brings up tenderness for you—whether you’re grateful for your mom, grieving what you didn’t get, or trying to choose a new story for your own family—just know this: you’re allowed to take the good, heal what hurt, and create something beautiful from here.

You don’t have to repeat the past unconsciously.You get to choose what you carry forward. 💛

366. The Confidence Code: 4 Identity Shifts That Change Everything Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

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 you through four identity shifts that helped me step out of survival mode and into a life filled with energy, joy, purpose, and presence.

I share vulnerably about:

Watching old videos of myself from 8–11 years ago and barely recognizing that tired, inflamed, joyless version of me
Walking through anxiety, depression, perimenopause, weight gain, and the aftermath of our house fire
The decision I made to shift my identity from the inside out

And how that decision led to:

Writing a book
Building two thriving businesses
Healing my marriage
Adopting our son
Reclaiming my spark

If you’re ready to reconnect with your voice, your identity, and the highest version of yourself that God created, I would absolutely love to see you inside The Confidence Code workshop.

We’re also doing a special style mini-series inside the workshop — including:

A closet tour
A capsule wardrobe planning session for my upcoming Mediterranean trip
Behind-the-scenes identity work expressed through style

You can join us through the link in the show notes.

You are not stuck. You are not behind. And your spark is not gone.

She’s waiting for you to remember her. ✨

365. The Art of Restarting: How to Begin Again Without Shame! Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

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 skill, a mindset, and honestly… a superpower.

Why restarting feels emotional (and why that’s normal)
The “three-month struggle bus” — when motivation wears off and the real work begins
How shame turns one missed day into one missed month
Why you’re never restarting from zero
How to build a “restart fast” identity (playful, simple, no drama)
Why the story you tell yourself (“I’m not good at this”) becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy
How to increase desire and make your goals exciting again (yes… sometimes it’s the new shoes 😅)
The hidden cost of overthinking: how mental spirals take more energy than doing the thing

Mom restarting knitting (again and again) and why it finally stuck this time
Dad restarting golf after years away — and why that’s actually so inspiring
Emmy restarting decorating/creating a home and learning not to give up mid-process
Pregnancy routines, changing energy levels, and learning to restart with grace

The magic isn’t in never falling off. The magic is in how quickly you come back.

Restarting isn’t proof you’re failing— it’s proof you care… and you’re still in the game.

What’s one thing you want to restart this week—without shame? One walk. One prayer. One nourishing meal. One page. One tiny step.

And celebrate it. Every row. Every rep. Every restart.

364. The Year We Stop Dressing Small: Style, Identity & Becoming Your Most Magnetic Self! Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

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, here we come!) — and how this whole process has reminded me that confidence doesn’t live in your closet.

Style is not about copying someone else’s aesthetic. It’s about asking:

Who am I becoming? How do I want to feel when I walk into a room? What energy do I want to bring?

We talk about:

Why Lent isn’t about shrinking your life — but about stripping away what dulls you
The emotional power of color and texture
How midlife can tempt us to mute ourselves
Why maximalist energy feels like a homecoming for me
The difference between buying outfits and developing style
And how a simple closet edit can wake you back up

An invitation to: ✨ Stop apologizing ✨ Stop shrinking ✨ Stop dressing for who you were ✨ And step into your most alive, magnetic self

Because the world doesn’t need a quieter version of you.

It needs the truest version of you.

363. 5 Ways to Fall Back in Love With Your Life! Feb 19, 2026

Show notes

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: the fastest way to change your life is often to stop waiting for a different life… and start loving this one on purpose.

In this episode we cover:

Why attention is everything (and how your awareness can literally change your experience of life)
Reclaiming your agency when you feel stuck, tired, or “at the effect” of your circumstances
Expanding your emotional capacity so you can feel the hard stuff without shrinking—and enjoy the good stuff more deeply
Devoting yourself to the ordinary and creating rituals that make everyday life feel meaningful again
Practicing gratitude through stewardship: caring for your body, relationships, and calling like they matter (because they do)

This one is lighthearted, honest, and full of “try-this-today” takeaways—especially if you’ve been craving more joy, more presence, and more aliveness in your everyday.

362. The 5 Standards I Refuse to Negotiate With (How to Build Energy, Stability, and Leadership in Midlife) Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

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 energy, leadership, joy, connection, and purpose… you have to decide what is no longer optional.

In this episode, I walk you through:

Why strength training has become essential for my longevity and calling
How emotional resilience protects your peace and transforms your relationships
Why sleep is sacred (and how I protect it)
The importance of taking ownership of your hormone health in midlife
The spiritual rhythm that grounds and refills me week after week

These aren’t trends. They aren’t fads. They’re standards.

And when you stop negotiating the things that support your body, mind, and spirit, everything changes.

As you listen, I’d love for you to ask yourself: What are my non-negotiables in this season of life?

Because you deserve a life that feels strong, stable, and deeply nourished.
