379. This Is Why Your Life Isn’t Changing (It’s Not What You Think)
21/04/2026 | 25 mins.
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
16/04/2026 | 16 mins.
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.

14/04/2026 | 23 mins.
In this episode, we’re talking about how to romanticize your life in real, tangible ways—not by pretending everything is perfect, but by bringing intention and presence to what already is.
Here are a few of the little things currently bringing me so much life:
Travel knitting (yes, I cast on a whole sweater just for the trip ✨)
My favorite oversized linen shirt (truly perfect for everything)
Knitting baby bonnets for my grandbabies
Porch swing time with my grandboys
Being outside as much as possible
The joy of preparing for a trip
Staying consistent with movement, even in a hard season
We also talk about:
Why you don’t need different circumstances to enjoy your life
How small moments shape your overall experience
Creating peace and intention—even in the middle of uncertainty

376. 5 “Weird” Things We Did as a Family (That I’m Now So Grateful For)
09/04/2026 | 43 mins.
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.
