308. The Wildest Decisions We’ve Ever Made (and Why We’d Make Them Again)
You’re joining us in our comfiest sweatshirts, post-lake day, pajama-party vibes and all—because today’s episode is a little unhinged in the best way. 😄
In this heart-to-heart, Edie and Emme dive into some of the most unexpected and life-changing decisions they’ve ever made—from the hilarious to the heavy. You’ll hear stories about platinum pixie cuts, turquoise kitchen cabinets, nose surgeries gone wrong… and the raw, redemptive journey of overcoming addiction and choosing a brand-new chapter.
Whether it was quitting jobs, saying yes to scary opportunities, or walking away from things that no longer served them, these decisions shaped the beautiful lives they live today. This one is full of laughter, tears, and truth bombs—and might just inspire you to finally say yes to the thing tugging at your heart.
💭 In this episode, we talk about:
Why the “wrong” decision might actually be the right one
The spiritual awakening that came after walking away from weed
Emme’s brave decision to quit her job and join the podcast full-time
Edie’s rebellious turquoise cabinets (that went viral)
The unexpected ripple effects of choosing purpose over perfection
…and some hair choices we deeply regret 😂
This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to trust, leap, and laugh through the chaos.

307. The #1 Reason Midlife Women Feel Restless: And the Shift That Will Set You Free
You’ve built a beautiful life, you’ve checked all the boxes… so why does it still feel like something’s missing? Why do you feel a little stuck, a little heavy, a little off?
In today’s heartfelt solo episode, we’re talking about something so many midlife women feel but don’t always have the words for: restlessness.
Dr. Edie opens up about what this season of restlessness really means—and how it might not be a sign that something’s wrong, but instead a divine invitation to create, to express, and to finally share the wisdom that’s been growing inside of you for years.
If you’ve ever felt a holy nudge for “more” but weren’t sure what to do with it, this episode will speak straight to your heart.
Why midlife women often feel a sense of restlessness and resentment
The trap of over-consuming and under-creating
The unused wisdom inside you—and why it might be what’s weighing you down
The difference between Chronos and Kairos time (and how to live in the latter)
How creativity (even something as simple as knitting!) restores your nervous system
The kind of soul-aligned living that actually gives you more energy
The spiritual shift that happens when you stop hiding and start expressing
“There are seasons when I thought I needed rest, but what I really needed was release.” —Dr. Edie Wadsworth

In this second episode of our brand-new series on The Agreements That Activate Your Most Magical Life, Dr. Edie dives deep into one of her all-time favorite mindset tools: the Miracle Mindset.

What the Reticular Activating System is—and why it matters
