  Why You're Feeling Stuck (And How Curiosity Fixes It)

  Sep 24, 202617 min

  I had a totally different episode planned for today. And then I went to New York, and I walked for hours, and I remembered something I'd forgotten about myself. There's a version of me that only comes alive in New York. She walks for hours. She looks up. She wonders about everyone she passes. Where you're not walking to get somewhere, you're walking to see what you can find. In this episode of Inward, I share what wandering through New York taught me about curiosity, self discovery journey, and personal growth — from open stoops and hotel lobby conversations, to the journal prompt that stopped me in my tracks: "I told myself I am not ____, yet…" If you've been feeling numb, disconnected, or quietly unfulfilled underneath a successful-on-the-outside life, this one is an invitation to get curious again. Not all those who wander are lost. Sometimes, you're just finding your way back inward. In this episode: Why I feel most like myself when I'm curious What New York taught me about wandering with no agenda The hotel lobby moment: how talking about the weather led to tears about loss My journal exercise: I told myself I am not a runner, yet I ran a marathon How to practice curiosity with the people you love most The litany I'm living by: Stay curious about food, music, people, spirituality, art, and who you are Try this today: Do this today. Sit with: "I told myself I am not ____, yet…" See what comes up. Then ask someone you love: What does that feel like for you right now? — and just listen. If someone came to mind while you were listening, send this to them. Until next time, I'm Katie Edmonds. Keep going inward.

  99 Years Old and Never Lonely: My Grandmother's Secret to a Long, Full Life

  Sep 10, 202615 min

  She is 99 years old, incredibly sharp, quick-witted, and has been single for 67 years — and she will tell you she has never been lonely a single day. For the very first episode of Inward with a guest, I couldn't imagine anyone else. It's my Nanny. Nanny and I have always had a special bond. We are 60 years apart, almost to the day, and I have always felt like my life is intertwined with hers energetically. We have so much in common. Having her as my very first guest felt right in a way I can't fully explain — until you hear this conversation. In this intimate, unfiltered conversation, Nanny shares what it was really like to raise 5 kids on her own while working multiple jobs to make ends meet, what 67 years of being single has actually felt like, why she has never felt lonely, and what she believes is the real secret to her long life. She doesn't know quite what a podcast is — even though I've tried to explain it to her — but she showed up with her whole heart. And what happened was far more meaningful and emotional than either of us expected. Nanny isn't a very emotional person. So to see us both get emotional in this together tells you everything about what this moment meant. Whether you still have your grandmother, you've lost her, or you never had that bond — this is a conversation about love that moves through time, what makes a life truly full, and how to never feel alone even when you are on your own. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR: Why Nanny says 67 years single has been the opposite of lonely — and what actually made her life feel full How she raised 5 kids alone while working multiple jobs and what kept her going Her 4 simple reasons for living to 99: spending her days outside, having a powerful mind, her deep spirituality, and taking care of her family The moment that surprised us both and made this interview far more emotional than we planned What 60 years between us feels like when it collapses into a single moment ABOUT INWARD: Inward is a podcast for those who appear successful on the outside but feel disconnected, numb, or quietly unfulfilled on the inside. Hosted by certified life coach Katie Edmonds, each episode is an invitation to turn inward and reconnect with who you actually are beneath the roles, expectations, and noise. If this conversation moved you, please share it with someone who needs to call their grandmother today — or their mom, or their person.

  The Michelangelo Effect | How Love Sculpts You Into Who You're Meant to Be

  Sep 3, 202615 min

  How do you actually learn how to believe in yourself — especially when you question your own abilities even though you look confident? This episode is about the difference between self confidence and deep self belief, and why believing in yourself fiercely is the one thing every successful person has in common — they do it anyway, even on the days they doubt. We break down the pygmalion effect — how someone else's belief in you can shape your outcome — and the michelangelo effect — how love sculpts you into who you're meant to be when someone sees your ideal self and treats you as that person. We also get into why positive self talk and daily affirmations work when you embody them repeatedly, not just say them. I share my own story of always being confident but secretly thinking everyone else had the right answer, how Sarah's daily belief in me helped me finally see and embrace who I am, and a simple hand-on-heart practice to start seeing the best in yourself tonight. If this landed, send it to the friend who needs to hear she's incredible and capable. — Katie

  You Don't Have to Become Anything | You're Already Whole

  Aug 27, 202618 min

  Last night I took a street I never take. And this morning, I stood in my kitchen filled with gratitude. The kind that washes over you so completely you have to stop and lean on the counter. This episode is about what that moment did to me. How it showed me how shallow my gratitude has been. How I've been walking past my own life like it's owed to me. And how a single wrong turn cracked something open that I don't think I should glue back shut. If you've been gripping too tightly — the to-do list, the worry, the version of yourself you're still trying to become — this one is for you. Because here's the thing you might not have let yourself hear yet: you don't have to become anything. You're already whole. If this lands for you, share it with someone who's been gripping too tightly. And subscribe so you don't miss the next one. You always, always have a seat at my table. Until next time, I'm Katie Edmonds. Keep going inward.

  Episode #27

  The Last Time Is Usually Just A Tuseday

  Aug 20, 202616 min

  There's a line you've probably never heard, and it's the truest thing I know about time: the last time is usually just a Tuesday. You almost never get a warning. The last time your kid reaches for your hand. The last time you sit at a table with someone who's humming a song they don't know they're humming. The last time you sleep in a house that means something. It happens quietly, in the middle of an ordinary day, and it's gone before you can thank it. In this episode, I talk about the rocking chair where four generations of women held each other — and what it taught me about how love moves through us, one going out and one coming in. About the summers in Virginia I didn't know were ending. About my uncle's diagnosis landing on the same week his daughter learned she was carrying a boy. About grief and gratitude being the same thing, felt at the same time. And I ask you the question I keep asking myself: which part of your life are you in the last time of, right now, without knowing? Stop watching someone else's life. See what's right in front of you. Because once it becomes a memory, you'll come back to it over and over. Life is today only. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow may never come.
