Summary

I’ve been a little MIA - and yes, I’m going to talk about it but also no, I’m not telling you everything 😅 Before you worry, everyone is healthy, my marriage is strong, and things are okay. But life has shifted in a way that requires a little more privacy, a little more wisdom, and a lot more trust. In this episode, I’m sharing what I can like including why not everything belongs on the front porch, how I’m navigating boundaries while still showing up online, and what this season is teaching me. We’re also diving into a JOYFUL Report (you know I love these) from random current obsessions to deeper lessons about receiving help and letting go. And I’ll take you with me to Colorado, where I had one of the sweetest reminders that I don’t always need answers from God, sometimes I just need to sit with Him.

0:00.0	Hey, I'm Dr. Edie Wadsworth, host of the House of Joy podcast. If you've ever looked at your
0:05.7	life and thought, I should be enjoying this more or wondered if there's deeper meaning, connection,
0:11.5	joy, purpose available to you. Well, you're in the right place. House of Joy is where we have
0:16.5	lighthearted conversations about things that really matter, your emotional life, your relationships,
0:20.8	your purpose, and how to live fully awake. Many weeks, you'll hear me in conversation with my daughter
0:26.4	Emmy talking honestly about life, growth, faith, family, and becoming more yourself. And other weeks,
0:32.5	we welcome thoughtful, inspiring guests who bring fresh perspective and wisdom. This is not about
0:37.3	fixing yourself. It's about
0:38.5	remembering who you are beneath the noise, the pressure, and the expectations. So if you're

1:00.1	where I help you delight in life and find joy right where you are.
1:17.4	And I have to be honest, it feels a little strange to be back behind the microphone because the last few weeks have looked very different for me.
1:23.3	First, I want to say this right out of the gate that everybody is okay.
1:28.1	My family is healthy. My family is healthy.
1:29.7	My marriage is strong.
1:32.2	There's nothing to be alarmed about, but the world feels a little bit like it's on fire right now.
1:42.2	And because of that, our family has had to show up in a very
1:46.5	different way. And the tension here is that I can't share a lot of the details. Not because I don't
1:54.1	trust you, I just have to protect what has been interested to me for safety, for privacy, honesty, and like to be completely
2:03.7	straightforward for obedience. I also want to add this, and this is kind of like one of my
