Summary

In today’s episode, Edie sits down with one of the most beloved voices in the House of Joy community: Alene Joiner—coach, teacher, mother of six, and a woman who has lived the work she teaches. Edie and Alene take us behind the scenes of their friendship (which began in life coach certification), the early days of Life Mentoring School, and how coaching becomes truly transformational when it’s rooted in safety, presence, and emotional capacity—not fixing, performing, or rushing toward “results.” If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things on the outside but still don’t feel at peace on the inside… this conversation will meet you right where you are. Alene’s story: motherhood, faith, psychology, and the path that led her into coaching Why therapy can feel helpful…and still leave you asking “Okay, now what?” The moment Alene realized: “I can be my own role model.” The difference between good coaching and transformational coaching Why safety is the foundation for real change (and how community helps create it) How encounter groups were born—and why they’ve become a core part of LMS True self vs. false self (and how to stop shaming your coping strategies) What many women in midlife are carrying… and why it’s exhausting Master Coach Training: “learning to sit with someone in the dark without rushing them to the light” The surprising truth: what we most want isn’t a new outcome—it’s to like who we see in the mirror Come say hi on Instagram and tell us: What would change if you stopped abandoning yourself this year?
