It’s a cozy “back on the couch” episode in the actual House of Joy — and it’s full of real life, real laughter, and a brand new year energy we can actually feel.
Dr. Edie and Emme are sharing 7 surprising things they’re carrying into 2026… and yes, there’s a very big, very joyful announcement you’ll want to hear early in the episode.
From slowing down in January (without guilt), to treating attention like a spiritual practice, to trusting the unfinished work, this conversation is a permission slip to enter the year with more intention, more wonder, and way less pressure to “do it perfectly.”
In this episode, we talk about:
Emme’s major life update (and why she was in a “stinky mood” at first 😅)
What a slower January can do for your nervous system and your joy
Attention as a spiritual practice (and why hobbies help you come alive)
Trusting the unfinished work—in knitting, life, and the creative process
Setting goals that nourish you, not goals that impress people
Creating a home that feels like peace (even in a rental)
Identity shifts: matriarch/Grammy era + new mom era
Choosing wonder and awe on ordinary days
Favorite things: skincare + cozy shows + the “portable TV” era
