300. Going From Full of Doubt to Full of Purpose With ONE Simple Tool / Best of House of Joy 2024
Hey sweet friends—and happy 300th episode of the podcast! 🎉
To celebrate this milestone, we're bringing back one of your absolute favorites from last year. Whether you're a longtime listener or brand new around here (welcome!), this episode is for the part of you that’s ever wondered:
“Am I doing enough?” “What’s my purpose right now?” “Why do I feel stuck, even when life looks okay on the outside?”
This honest and heartfelt conversation between me and my daughter Emmy is all about navigating those very real seasons of doubt—and learning how to shift toward a life that feels full of intention, energy, and meaning.
We get real about the mindset spirals we fall into, what happens when we stop ignoring our emotions, and how to lovingly rewrite the narrative we’re living from. You’ll hear how Emmy moved from exhaustion and uncertainty to lightness and purpose—and how you can too.
Whether you're sitting in self-doubt or standing at a new beginning, this episode will remind you that you do have what it takes to change how you experience your life—one small thought at a time.

299. What’s Your Next Level of Growth? Creating a Life of Intention, Impact & Joy
Hi, dear ones!
We’re coming off the most magical weekend at Love is Magic—my heart is full to bursting and my soul is stirred. In this episode, I’m bringing you behind the scenes of the event, the stories that made me weep all the way home, and the invitation that’s on my heart for all of us: What’s your next level of growth?
Whether it’s in your health, your relationships, your spiritual life, your impact, or your rest (yes, that counts too!), I believe you were made for growth. But here’s the thing—real transformation often feels like a death to the old you. And it can be so easy to resist it. I know—I’ve been there. But the moment we say yes to that next level… The ripple effects are beautiful.
Let’s talk about:
The power of intention and how it literally slows down time
Why personal responsibility is the most loving thing you can offer yourself
How to mark and honor life’s sacred moments (even your 25th anniversary on a jet ski!)
Why unused potential isn’t benign—and what to do about it
And of course, I’ll share why this summer might just be my most intentional season yet—and how you can join me in making this your most magical 90 days too.

298. Why You’re Still Stuck (and How to Heal) with Sarah Thiessen, Creator of Splankna
If you've ever wondered whether healing from deep emotional wounds is truly possible—this episode will change everything.
In today’s conversation, Dr. Edie sits down with Sarah Thiessen, the brilliant and faithful mind behind Splankna Therapy. This biblically grounded, mind-body approach to healing trauma has been life-altering for Edie, her family, and many of her coaching clients—and in this rich and revelatory conversation, you’ll hear why.
Together, they dive into:
What Splankna therapy actually is—and why it works
How stored trauma shows up in our bodies and lives
The difference between talk therapy and deeper subconscious work
Why our will matters in healing—and what happens when we surrender it to the Holy Spirit
What it means to live healed, free, and on mission for the Kingdom
You’ll also hear Edie open up about her own personal healing journey, her complicated relationship with her father, and how Splankna helped her finally experience peace after decades of emotional heaviness.
Whether you’re a skeptic, curious, or already a believer in body-based healing, this episode is a must-listen.

297. Your Most Magical 90 Days Are Waiting!
Have you ever felt the rumblings of a new season stirring in your soul… but also found yourself resisting it because, well, life is already “good”? In this solo episode, Dr. Edie shares what it looks like to say yes to a season of reinvention—not from hustle or burnout, but from rest, joy, and deep, soul-level desire.
This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on something stirring in my heart: the beginning of a brand new season of growth, reinvention, and healing. And not the kind born from hustle—but from love, rest, and desire.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve felt God inviting me to live from a new place of overflow. I’m reimagining my health, my rhythms, my leadership, and even my rest. And it’s leading me into what I truly believe will be the most magical 90 days of my life so far.
✨ Inside the episode, I’m sharing:
What finally made me say “yes” to a new season—even when life was already good
How I’m planning to create more while doing less
Why I believe mindset is only part of the picture—and what it means to actually embody transformation
My personal 90-day goals (and how you can come along with me behind the scenes!)
If you’ve been feeling a nudge that it’s time for a shift—maybe a quiet whisper that you haven’t even scratched the surface of the life you’re meant to live—I hope this episode meets you right where you are.

Ever feel like your brain has a thousand tabs open—and you're the only one who knows they're running?
In this heartfelt and relatable episode, Dr. Edie and Emmy dive deep into the mental and emotional “invisible load” that so many women carry every single day. From wedding planning stress to mom-life multitasking, they unpack the quiet weight of remembering everything, managing everyone’s emotions, and trying to do it all…often without even realizing it.
You’ll laugh, nod your head, and maybe even tear up as they share:
How this invisible load shows up in everyday life (and why it’s so exhausting)
Simple practices to get what’s in your head out—so it stops stealing your peace
How to delegate, decide with intention, and release what doesn’t belong to you
Why journaling and brain dumps are actual lifesavers
What it means to carry your life with capacity and joy—not resentment
This episode is an invitation to acknowledge what’s heavy, ask for help, and walk through your week a little lighter—on purpose.
📝 Plus: They share favorite summer finds, a few joyful tangents (hi, Walmart dresses + 30A recs!), and why a 5-minute task might be stealing all your energy.
You don’t have to carry it all. Let this episode be your reminder.
