Summary

Sometimes it’s not about doing more—it’s about letting go of what no longer serves you. Today we are discussing eight things we’ve decided to stop doing—from people-pleasing and over-functioning to apologizing for the things that make us unique (like line dancing and going to bed at 8pm). This episode is equal parts lighthearted banter and deep reflection, because saying “no more” to old habits is sometimes the most powerful form of self-leadership. We’re diving into: Why we’re done explaining ourselves to people who already have their minds made up What guilt-free rest really looks like Letting go of perfection, complaining, and “doing it all” energy The hidden ways we try to control people—and how to stop The powerful mindset shift of saying yes with your whole heart (or not at all) You’ll laugh, you’ll nod in agreement, and you might just be inspired to make your own “not doing this anymore” list. 📝 Which one do you need to let go of most right now? Come tell us on Instagram @houseofjoypodcast or @ediewadsworth. We’d love to hear from you! 📌 P.S. Don’t miss our last episode (279) where we talk about emotional range, resilience, and what it really means to lead yourself from the inside out. Learn more about your ad choices.
