Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “I didn’t mean to settle here…but somehow I did”? You’re not alone, friend. In this powerful episode of House of Joy, Dr. Edie gets real about that quiet midlife restlessness — the feeling that you’ve checked all the boxes, built a beautiful life, but deep down…you know there’s more. More joy, more purpose, more possibility waiting for you to claim it. She shares how so many of us unknowingly set the “thermostat” of our lives too low — settling for fine instead of fulfilled — and how to raise your internal standard for what’s possible in your thoughts, emotions, faith, and daily habits. Together, you’ll explore: ✨ Why settling often feels “reasonable” — and how to recognize when you’ve done it ✨ The “life set point” that’s secretly keeping you stuck (and how to reset it!) ✨ How to partner with your potential instead of negotiating with it ✨ What it looks like to live from your true self instead of your false self ✨ Four powerful areas to raise your standard: your thoughts, emotions, habits, and faith ✨ The difference between doing more and believing more Edie reminds us that raising your standards isn’t about hustle or perfection — it’s about agreement. It’s agreeing with heaven about who you really are. It’s believing that God is still doing a good work in you and that your most alive, joy-filled days aren’t behind you…they’re right in front of you. So if you’ve been feeling stuck, restless, or just a little “fine,” this episode will reignite your hope, refresh your mindset, and invite you to step boldly into the next, truest version of your life. Because you don’t rise to your goals — you fall to your standards. It’s time to raise them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
