351. Stop Living the Same Year on Repeat! Made for More Day 1 Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

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 you were made for more—this episode is where the shift begins.

In this teaching, Dr. Edie walks you through the framework that explains why you don’t experience life “as it is,” but through your thoughts, identity, and the story you’re living inside of. You’ll learn how the brain defaults to survival, why problem-focused thinking crowds out joy, and how to reconnect with your true self—the version of you that already carries a miracle mindset.

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you are.

Why most women don’t live a “new” year—just repeat the old one
The #1 reason change doesn’t stick: trying to change from the outside in
How your brain is wired for survival + problem scanning (default mode)
The role of the prefrontal cortex in choosing intentional thoughts + creating
Why your experience of life can’t rise above the thoughts you practice
How rumination turns thoughts into identity (and then into your reality)
Why joy, desire, creativity, and wonder get crowded out in survival mode
How to shift from false self (protective survival) to true self (love + freedom)
What Dr. Edie calls the Miracle Mindset—and how to practice it daily
The concept of an identity set point (and how to upgrade it)

350. A Deeper, Richer Life in 2026: The Shift That Will Change How This Year Feels Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

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 circumstances stay the same.

Dr. Edie also shares stories from Big Sky (including the reminder that two people can live the same moment and experience it completely differently), plus a little life update: her birthday, cozy January rhythms, knitting goals, and why she’s all-in on creating a life that feels deep and rich—not just busy.

Why most women don’t want more tasks—they want more peace and aliveness
The trap of trying to change from the outside in
What “Made for More” actually means (hint: not hustle, not pressure)
Why you may not trust yourself to follow through—and what’s really underneath that
How emotional depletion, old identity, and limiting beliefs sabotage change
Why the quality of your life is shaped by the quality of your inner world
Big Sky as a real-time lesson: same experience, totally different inner reality
Why a deeper life (not a bigger one) changes everything
The kind of joy we’re after: a deep-down sense that all is well
How inner work creates: better relationships, more energy, more clarity, and more freedom

Book mentioned: Super Coach

Made for More begins tomorrow — and it’s designed to change how you experience your life, not just what you do.

This workshop is for you.

Instead of setting goals that fade by February, this conversation invites you into a completely different way of living: creating your life on purpose, not by default.

In this episode, we talk about:

How purpose isn’t something you find—it’s something you bring
Why the “little things” are actually the big things
How choosing to live awake to your life creates joy, meaning, and momentum all year long
The ripple effect your presence and perspective can have on your family and relationships
How to stop waiting for life to feel magical—and start creating that magic now

This episode is an invitation to release pressure, perfection, and hustle… and instead choose presence, joy, and meaning—right where you are.

346. Why Christmas Feels Magical (And How to Live That Way All Year) Dec 23, 2025

Show notes

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a story that unexpectedly changed the way I experienced Christmas this year — and I think it might change yours too.

A moment that began with holiday pressure, mental clutter, and the urge to “do more” turned into a powerful reminder of how most of us are actually living… and why so many women feel heavy, stuck, or disconnected during what’s supposed to be a magical season.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally cluttered, unmotivated, or like something inside you is asking for space — this episode is for you.

The moment I didn’t go Christmas shopping — and why that choice changed everything
How physical clutter often mirrors emotional clutter on the inside
Why so many women feel “off” during the holidays (even when everything looks fine)
The two nervous system states we live in:

Survival Mode (sympathetic) — rushed, stressed, reactive, numb, or shut down
Creation Mode (parasympathetic) — open, grounded, creative, joyful, connected

Why most of us are living in survival mode without realizing it
How unprocessed emotions don’t disappear — they turn into exhaustion, resentment, numbness, and overwhelm
The emotional “backpack” we keep stuffing instead of unpacking
A real-life parenting moment with my adventurous 13-year-old that illustrates how quickly we attach to stress — and how to release it faster
Why your body cannot thrive in chronic fight-or-flight (and what that means for your health, joy, and relationships)
How Christmas “magic” isn’t seasonal — it’s the emotional state we were designed to live in
Why emotions don’t need months of analysis — they often need just a few minutes of presence
How acknowledging what you’re holding instead of resisting it allows your nervous system to soften and reset
The spiritual truth of Emmanuel — God with us — and what it means for your everyday emotional life
Why you can’t create a life you love from survival mode
How shifting your inner state changes how the world responds to you

If this episode stirred something in you, I want to personally invite you to join me for Made for More, my three-day live virtual experience designed to help you move out of survival mode and into a life of clarity, joy, purpose, and emotional freedom.

🗓 January 7–9 ⏰ Live at noon Eastern (with replays)

344. The Capacity to Hold a Magical Life: Listening to Your Life & Creating a Legacy of Love! Dec 16, 2025

Show notes

want to ask you a different kind of question.

What if the reason your life feels full but not spacious isn’t because you’re doing too much… but because there’s something inside you that hasn’t had room to breathe?

Today we’re talking about what it really means to be a high-capacity woman—not in the hustle, grind, “do more” way, but in the deeply rooted, present, alive way.

We’ll walk through:

Why your problem isn’t “too much to do” …and why your real limit might be emotional and spiritual capacity, not time.
What high capacity actually looks like on the inside Becoming a clean, clear channel—mentally, emotionally, spiritually—so you can hold the life you’re dreaming of.
How dreaming bigger makes you love your life now How your desires don’t pull you away from your life, they deepen your presence in it.
The quiet clutter stealing your capacity Old stories, limiting beliefs, unprocessed emotions, self-judgment—and how to gently start clearing space.
Simple journaling prompts to expand your inner capacity Questions you can ask yourself this week to listen to your life and make room for what’s next.
Why loving your life now is the legacy you leave How your presence, warmth, and emotional steadiness shape how people feel when they’re with you.

This isn’t about cramming more into your schedule. It’s about becoming the woman who can hold the life she’s praying for.

Use these in a quiet moment with your journal:

What am I carrying emotionally right now that I haven’t fully felt or expressed?
What belief about myself or my life feels heavy or limiting right now?
What part of my life feels crowded or noisy—and what might it be asking for instead?
If my inner world were clear and spacious, what desire might finally have room to speak?

If this episode stirs something in you—if you’re longing for more joy, more desire, more aliveness in the year ahead—I would love to invite you to my favorite event of the year:

343. Rethinking Confidence: Your True Self Is Already Confident Dec 11, 2025

Show notes

In today’s episode, Emme and I cozy up (apron, brown sweater, holiday chaos and all 😅) to talk about something so many women quietly struggle with—confidence. Especially in midlife, it can feel like your self-assurance has just… slipped away. Your body is changing, your roles are shifting, and suddenly you’re questioning things you never used to.

But what if confidence isn’t something you earn by looking a certain way, achieving a certain goal, or finally “getting it together”? What if confidence is actually your natural state—and the real work is learning how to strip away everything that blocks it?

We unpack a different way to see confidence: not as your ability to do anything, but as your willingness to feel anything. Embarrassment, disappointment, shame, vulnerability—your capacity to sit with those emotions, instead of avoiding or overthinking them, is what creates real confidence. We talk about people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, shrinking back, and why trying not to feel disappointed is the very thing that keeps you stuck in disappointment.

You’ll also hear:

Emme’s honest story about losing (and then finding) confidence while planning her wedding
My very first Thanksgiving as a hostess, Martha Stewart expectations, and instantly bursting into tears when my family walked in the door
Why vulnerability is not weakness—but the doorway to true connection, safety, and joy in your relationships

If you’ve ever walked into a room and wondered, “Why does everyone else seem so confident except me?”—this one’s for you. Your confidence is not missing. It’s just been covered up.

Why midlife often triggers a “confidence dip” for women
A new definition of confidence: your ability to tolerate and feel hard emotions
How overthinking, people-pleasing, and perfectionism quietly block your true self
The difference between ego-based “confidence” and grounded, humble confidence
How vulnerability actually makes people feel safer and closer to you
Simple ways to start accessing the confidence you already have

342. The 4-Part Framework That Turns Every Season Into Wisdom, Gratitude, and Purpose! Dec 09, 2025

Show notes

I’m taking you behind the scenes of one of my absolute favorite yearly rituals—how I plan my year in a way that feels meaningful, beautiful, and actually doable.

This is Part 1 of a four-part framework I’m teaching my clients this month called “Plan Your Most Magical Year Yet.” Today we’re starting where I always start: by looking back at the year you just lived with love instead of criticism. I’ll walk you through how I reviewed my own year—personally, in my relationships, in my rhythms, and in my work—using a simple four-quadrant framework you can copy.

You’ll hear how I use my camera roll, a circle divided into four sections, and a lot of gratitude to remember what actually worked this year, what surprised me, and where God met me in ways I didn’t expect. Before we rush into resolutions and goals, this step grounds you in celebration and honor for the woman you’ve already been.

The 4-part framework I use to plan my best year yet
How to review your year using your camera roll
Why we start with celebration, not self-criticism
The 4 quadrants I use to review my year:
Real-life examples from my own 2025 review
Why focusing on celebration doesn’t deny the hard parts

I’m teaching the full “Plan Your Most Magical Year Yet” class live on December 18th (all 4 steps of the framework, with prompts, worksheets, and a full workbook).

When you join my Made for More Workshop (January 7–9) before December 18th, you’ll get this entire planning class for free as a bonus. 🎉

In Made for More we’ll:

Wake up your desires and remember what you’re actually here to create
Map out a powerful first quarter of the year
Start building a life that feels aligned, intentional, and deeply joyful
