If your calendar feels like pure chaos, you’re not alone—but what if the key to more peace, purpose, and energy isn’t doing more, but creating a rhythm that supports you?
In this episode, Dr. Edie and Emme unpack the underestimated magic of routine—how crafting simple, sustainable rhythms can unlock your creativity, anchor your nervous system, and help you actually enjoy your life. Whether you're a spontaneous soul who resists structure or a busy mama juggling 10 things at once, this conversation will reframe the way you think about your daily schedule.
You’ll learn:
How a well-crafted routine becomes a sacred anchor for your day
Why spontaneity thrives inside of structure
How Dr. Edie plans her weeks with themed days (plus a peek at her schedule!)
The power of morning rituals—even if you’re not a “morning person”
How writing things down builds trust, momentum, and joy
This is your reminder: you’re the one designing your life. Let’s make it meaningful, one rhythm at a time.

282. The Secret of Leading and Loving Well
What if the most powerful legacy you could leave your children isn’t your achievements—but your healing?
This episode is a sacred invitation.
A call to stop leading from performance, pressure, or wounds—and start leading from the quiet, rooted place of wholeness.
After a weekend of porch sits, heart talks, and legacy-level conversations with her daughters, Dr. Edie brings a deeply personal and powerful message about what it really means to become a woman who leads from her healed self. Whether you’re a mom, a coach, or a woman walking through midlife with your heart wide open, this one will move you.
Inside this episode:
The emotional leadership that changed Edie’s relationship with her daughters
Why your emotional range becomes your leadership ceiling
How to hold more—more vision, more power, more joy, more grief—without collapsing
The shift from being a high-achiever to becoming an embodied, wise, grounded leader
Why true healing is the greatest gift you’ll ever give your children, clients, and community
What Master Coach Training is really teaching (hint: it’s not just more tools)
This isn’t about striving. This is about becoming.
So if you’ve ever felt the nudge to lead differently—deeper, softer, wiser—this is your episode.
