House of Joy- Christian Life Coaching

This episode is a really special one.

We’re sitting down during Holy Week, in the middle of a season that has felt both beautiful and incredibly hard for our family. And we wanted to just have an honest, heartfelt conversation about what it’s like when life feels heavy… and God feels far.

Because if you’ve ever been there (and I think we all have), you know how disorienting it can feel.

In this episode, we talk about:


Why hard seasons can make God feel distant—even when He’s not


The very real emotions that come up (anger, grief, confusion… all of it)


How God meets us through people, small moments, and everyday grace


The spiritual rhythms that have grounded our family for years


Why you don’t need a “perfect” faith routine to feel close to God


How suffering can open our eyes to what really matters

One of the biggest things I’ve been reminded of in this season is this:

You don’t have to strive to find God. He is already with you.

Sometimes it just looks like noticing Him in the smallest places—a prayer before dinner, a Sunday drive to church, a kind text from a friend, or even a sweater you’ve carried through hard days.

If you’re in a season where things feel uncertain or heavy, I hope this episode feels like a deep breath… and a reminder that you are held.

We love you so much. Truly.

This is one of those episodes that might make you pause and think… oh wow, that’s me.

And I just want you to know—this comes with so much love.

Today we’re talking about something that affects every single one of us: the difference between living from your ego (false self) and living from your true self.

Most of us learned, without even realizing it, how to live in survival mode—how to protect ourselves, perform, compare, and prove.

But that way of living? It’s exhausting.

And the beautiful truth is… it’s not how you were created to live.

In this episode, I walk you through 7 signs you might be living from your ego, including:


Constantly feeling evaluated or self-conscious


Getting defensive or over-explaining


Living with pressure and urgency


Comparing yourself to others


Struggling to receive love or compliments


Avoiding discomfort and playing small


Feeling disconnected from yourself

And then we talk about what to do next—how to gently come back to the version of you that is: grounded, loved, peaceful, and whole.

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to who you already are.

What if the freedom you’re looking for isn’t found in becoming someone new—but in finally becoming who you already are?

I’m joined by the incredible Susan Shull—someone who so beautifully embodies what it means to live as your true self—and we’re diving into one of the most important conversations we have inside Life Mentoring School.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to fit in… If you’ve found yourself constantly comparing… If you’ve wondered, “Who am I really, underneath all of this?”…

This conversation is for you.

Susan shares her journey from people pleasing and seeking approval to discovering a deeper, more grounded identity rooted in who God says she is. And let me tell you—it’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about waking up to who you’ve been all along.

We talk about:


The difference between your true self and false self


Why comparison keeps you stuck (even when you “know better”)


How confidence is actually rooted in identity—not ego


The small, brave “yeses” that change everything


What it looks like to live your life from love instead of fear

One of my favorite parts of this conversation is the reminder that this isn’t a one-time transformation—it’s a daily practice. A coming back. A remembering.

And the freedom on the other side? It changes everything.

I’m coming to you from a tender, uncertain season—one where I don’t have all the answers and can’t quite map out the next 90 days the way I normally would. And if you’ve ever walked through something like that, you know how disorienting it can feel.

But even here… there is still so much goodness.

In this episode, I’m sharing what’s been anchoring me lately—the thoughts, practices, and gentle shifts that are helping me stay grounded, present, and connected to joy, even when life feels uncertain.

We talk about:


What to do when you can’t “plan” your next season


How to focus on what is certain when everything feels unknown


Choosing who you want to be, even when circumstances are shaky


Giving yourself compassion instead of pressure


Why continuing to create (in small ways) can be so healing


Staying open to joy, beauty, and tiny miracles right now


Simple, powerful thoughts to anchor you in hard seasons

If you’re feeling a little tender… a little out of sorts… or like life isn’t unfolding the way you expected—this is for you.

You are not alone. And there is still so much life available to you right here.

Also—Life Mentoring School is open right now, and we’re heading into one of my favorite seasons inside the program. If you’re ready to go deeper into this work and truly become the woman you’re meant to be, I’d love to have you join us

Hi, dear ones —

Today I’m bringing back one of my favorite conversations from last year, all about the kind of glow up that really matters — the one that starts on the inside.

In this episode, Emme and I talk about beauty, style, skincare, confidence, and the things that truly make a woman magnetic. And while we do share some fun favorites along the way, what we really get into is this: the most powerful transformation doesn’t come from a product, a trend, or a perfect outfit. It comes from the work you do in your heart, your mind, and your everyday life.

We talk about what it means to care for yourself well, how your emotional and mental health show up on your face and in your presence, and why real beauty has so much more to do with joy, confidence, and authenticity than anything external.

In this episode, we chat about:


Why the biggest glow up starts from the inside out


The difference between outer beauty and true magnetism


How joy, healing, and emotional health change the way you look and feel


The kind of presence that lights up a room


Taking care of your skin and body in a nourishing, realistic way


Personal style as self-expression and confidence


Some of our favorite skincare, fashion, and glow-up staples from last year

This one originally aired last year, but the message still feels so timely and so worth revisiting.

I hope it encourages you to care for yourself deeply, to honor the season you’re in, and to remember that your most radiant self is never about perfection — it’s about becoming more fully who God created you to be.

Love you so much.
