306. From Hiding to Healing: A Candid Conversation on Parenting, Addiction & Redemption
What happens when you let your guard down and share the real story?
In this deeply personal episode of The House of Joy, Dr. Edie and her daughter Emme sit down for one of the most honest and hope-filled conversations we've ever had on the podcast. What began as a behind-the-scenes interview for Edie’s coaching program has, over the years, become one of the most talked-about and transformational moments in our community—and today, we’re sharing it with you.
From Emme’s journey through college, addiction, and emotional disconnection to the healing power of prayer, love, and community, this episode is a raw invitation to see the humanity in our kids—and the redemption woven into every hard season.
Whether you're parenting adult children, walking through a hard season yourself, or wondering how to hold space for someone you love without judgment or control—this one is for you.
A behind-the-scenes look at Emmy’s candid confession and journey to healing

305. Training Your Brain for Miracles: Cultivating a Mindset of Wonder, Faith & Possibility
In this second episode of our brand-new series on The Agreements That Activate Your Most Magical Life, Dr. Edie dives deep into one of her all-time favorite mindset tools: the Miracle Mindset.
Your brain is always filtering your experience of the world—so the question is, what are you telling it to look for?
In this uplifting conversation, Edie teaches you how to retrain your brain to notice the beauty, blessings, and divine fingerprints in your everyday life. From the science behind your brain’s filtering system (hello, Reticular Activating System!) to the power of simple practices like gratitude, spoken affirmation, and wonder, this episode will inspire you to wake up to the goodness already surrounding you.
Because when you change what you agree with, you change what you see. And when you change what you see, you change how you show up.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or just ready for a reset, this is your invitation to put on your miracle glasses and start noticing how God is already at work—in the smallest moments and the grandest gestures.
What the Reticular Activating System is—and why it matters
How to spot when you're emotionally agreeing with fear, stress, or resentment
Why belief always precedes the miracle
4 simple ways to cultivate a miracle mindset daily
How to gently reframe overwhelm and return to joy
✨ “Miracles are the language of God—and when you train your heart to look for them, you'll see them everywhere.” — Dr. Edie

303. Emotional Agreements & Why They May Be More Important Than Your Green Juice
Today’s episode is the start of a brand new series, and honestly—it’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever taught.
We’re talking about something that most of us don’t even realize we’re doing every single day: emotional agreement.
It’s that subtle but powerful shift that happens when we wake up feeling anxious, resentful, overwhelmed—or even joyful, peaceful, and focused—and then unknowingly agree to carry that emotion through the rest of our day. And y’all, once we agree with an emotion, our minds and bodies go to work collecting proof to back it up.
What if your real wellness practice isn’t just supplements or green juice (though you know I love both)—but actually learning how to stop agreeing with shame, fear, or overwhelm and instead start aligning with truth?
In this first part of a three-part series on the agreements that activate your most magical life, we explore:
What emotional agreement really is (and how it’s impacting your life right now)
Why your brain is literally designed to search for evidence to support your emotions
How one small comment from someone online sent me spiraling—and how I gently pulled myself out
The practice of noticing and replacing low-vibe agreements with powerful ones rooted in love, peace, joy, and faith
Why this matters way more than your morning smoothie or red light therapy
This episode is a gentle wake-up call to look at the inner agreements we’ve made and to start choosing better ones. Ones that align with the woman God created you to be. This work? It’s powerful. It’s healing. And it’s the true foundation of your most magical life.
Share it with a friend who’s ready to let go of the old stories and step into a new kind of emotional and spiritual alignment. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss Part 2 in this series: The Miracle Mindset.

302. 25 Hot Takes After 25 Years of Marriage
“Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is a daily choice.”
We’re talking about real-life marriage—no fluff, no filters. From not keeping score to not relying on each other for every need, to embracing feminine energy, this is the stuff I wish I could go back and tell my younger self. And it’s the kind of conversation I hope you come back to whenever your own relationship needs a little reminder of what matters most.
Whether you’re newly engaged (like Emmie!), married for decades, or single and hopeful, this one’s for anyone who’s learning how to love with more grace, joy, and intention.
Why we don’t “work” on our marriage—and what we do instead
The secret to not keeping score
Why we never go on date nights (and what we do instead!)
How self-responsibility makes everything more connected
The power of physical affection and staying curious about each other
Embracing the next phase with joy, not fear
We laughed, we cried (okay, mostly me), and we left this conversation so full of gratitude. I hope it blesses you and encourages you right where you are.
