Summary

328. 5 Ways to Understand & Love Your Family Better! It’s wedding month (!!), and things are getting real around here. Between seating charts, last-minute details, and a few (okay, a lot) of happy tears, Edie and her daughter Emmy are sitting down to talk about something that couldn’t be more timely: family relationships. Whether you’re navigating the chaos of wedding season, the sweetness of sibling trips, or just the everyday ups and downs of family life, this episode will help you see your relationships through a softer, more intentional lens. Together, they share 5 powerful ways to understand and love your family better—even when it’s messy, even when it’s hard, and especially when it matters most. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why seating charts might be harder than the wedding itself 😂 The one question that changes everything: “What’s underneath that behavior?” How to stay connected when your emotions (or someone else’s) feel big. Why true connection starts with your mindset — not their behavior. How to show up as your true self, not your ego or fear. The surprising connection between vulnerability and repair. Why fun, laughter, and intentional time together are spiritual practices. How to make family connection your “House of Joy.” 📘 Design Your Life 90-Day Guidebook: The guide that helps you align your mind, emotions, and habits with the life (and relationships!) you want. 👉 Grab your copy here ediewadsworthcoaching.com/guidebook 💄 Favorite Skincare Mentioned: Weleda Skin Food Moisturizer → https://a.co/d/ftyqarn ILIA Skin Milk Primer → https://www.sephora.com/product/ilia-base-face-milk-P509440?country_switch=us⟨=en&skuId=2739837&om_mmc=ppc-GG_17791296883___2739837__9013289_c&country_switch=us⟨=en&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17798721803&gbraid=0AAAAADnIXb0LozknGRgnSLHJ1bMc47_xn&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjL3HBhCgARIsAPUg7a65jnjNIm4aVF-h9dx7dAcgxLgoaCC6jLAZR04hxtRMi1clwa9I0PQaAiCpEALw_wcB Check out the NIV Application Bible here https://tinyurl.com/HOJNIVAppBible and use code HOJ at checkout for an additional 10% off!!
