Hello and welcome back to the podcast where you are invited for lighthearted conversations

about things that matter as you seek to live your most meaningful, beautiful, and joyful life.

I'm your host, Dr. Edie Wadsworth, and I hope you enjoy your stay here at the House of Joy.

Well, good morning, everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. So happy you're here. This is episode

197. We are talking about your favorite version of you today. So I love this topic. I talk about

this a lot in my coaching program. We talked about this in April. This was like our main topic for

April. In April every year in life mentoring school, we cover identity and how we can

constantly be reshaping and reinventing our identity, reinventing ourselves. I talk a lot to my clients

about agreeing with God about who you are and what he created you for and what a miracle it is that you're

here and how amazing it is to be in this world and be alive and you know be called to be in the

places that we're called to be in our lives and I think so often it's just easy for all of us

me included to get a little um we don't know, we just get a little

accustomed to our lives. We sort of start taking everything for granted. We become super

critical of ourselves and of other people. And then we fall into these patterns of doing that.

And then pretty soon, we kind of don't like anything.

We don't like ourselves.

We don't like our life.

We don't like anybody else.

And I know that for myself, when I start sliding into a pattern like that, I have trained

myself to sort of go, okay, Miss Eadie, let's wake up.

Let's remember what a miracle it is to be here.

Let's remember, you know, the huge gift of just waking up today and being alive.
