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.

Hey, everybody, welcome back to House of Joy.

I have such a treat for you. You are going to

love my friend Jessica. I am so excited about our topic today. We are talking about creating a home

that welcomes. We're going to talk about lessons and business and beauty and belonging.

I actually just got to spend the weekend with Jessica Garvin.

And can I just say it filled up my heart so much.

I love you so much.

I love you more.

Thank you for saying yes.

I know this is not your favorite thing to do probably.

But I don't know that there is an obligation ever in my life.

That is like something that I like to do. If it's on the calendar, just I don't want to do it.

But I love this and I love you. And I will say yes to anything you ever ask me. So, well, listen, I feel the same way.

For me, actually to get to leave my my home, to leave my people on kind of a holiday weekend to spend time with

someone else that is very difficult for me to do and i am not kidding you there is something about

you girl your energy the way you know people the way you gather people the way you create

belonging you have a really really special gift oh that's people, the way you gather people, the way you create belonging.

You have a really, really special gift. Oh, that is so sweet. Well, I said to Brandon, I was like, I said, I'm going to be on a podcast and his head whipped over. He goes, you said, who? What? And I said, it's for Edy. And he goes, oh, he's like, okay, well, then that makes sense. I'm like, listen, this lady just traveled

seven hours, maybe more, both ways to come spend like 19 hours with us. I'm like, I could never say no.
