321. Stuck in Stress? How to Reset Your Nervous System and Live With Purpose

Are you living in constant fight or flight? Stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and fear might feel normal—but they don’t have to define your life.

In this episode of House of Joy, Dr. Edie dives into how your nervous system works, why so many of us get stuck in survival mode, and how to retrain your body and mind to live in love, peace, and joy instead.

You’ll learn: ✨ The two emotional states we all live in—and which one fuels resilience, creativity, and healing ✨ Why stress chemistry is addictive (and how to break free from it) ✨ Practical ways to regulate your nervous system and rewire your emotional state ✨ How to step out of fear and start creating your life on purpose

This conversation is packed with hope, practical tools, and a reminder that you don’t have to stay stuck in stress mode. You were created for more—for joy, peace, and abundance.
