Summary

326. The Cortisol Reset: 10 Simple Ways to Lower Stress and Save Your Sanity What if you could actually enjoy this busy season instead of just surviving it? In this week’s episode of House of Joy, Edie and her daughter Emme are diving into all things cortisol, stress, and sanity-saving habits — plus a little wedding talk (because the countdown is ON! 💍). If you’ve been feeling the weight of your schedule, your hormones, or just the pace of life lately, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, breathe, and start living with more calm, joy, and intention. Together, we’re unpacking: ✨ The truth about cortisol (and why you need it!) ✨ The sneaky ways we keep our stress hormones high without realizing it ✨ How to use your mindset to shift out of fight-or-flight ✨ 10 simple, practical ways to lower stress — from journaling and breathing to sunlight, protein, and creative rest ✨ Why laughter, connection, and presence might be the best medicine of all This is the perfect episode for anyone who wants to live with more energy, ease, and peace — even in a full, beautiful, slightly chaotic season of life. So pour your coffee (or your kombucha 😉), take a deep breath, and join us for some laughter, real-life stories, and a whole lot of encouragement to care for yourself well this fall. Because you were never meant to live in constant overdrive.
