322. Stronger on Purpose: Mental Health, Movement & Hope with Caiti Riden, FNP, PMHNP (Part 2)

 September 25, 2025


 

This week on House of Joy, we’re back with part two of my heartfelt conversation with my daughter, Caiti Riden. If you haven’t listened to part one yet, start there—it sets the stage for everything we dive into today.

In this episode, Caiti shares more of her journey walking through seasons of anxiety, depression, and burnout—and the tools she’s learned along the way to care for her body, mind, and soul. From weightlifting and walking to building emotional resilience and practicing radical acceptance, this conversation is packed with hope and practical encouragement.

We talk about:

  • Why caring for your body is one of the best gifts you can give your mental health

  • The connection between metabolic health, nutrition, and mood

  • What it looks like to balance compassion with challenge in your daily habits

  • The importance of laughter, joy, and finding light in the middle of heaviness

  • How to hold onto hope, even when progress feels slow

Caiti’s honesty and wisdom will leave you inspired to keep showing up for yourself—body, mind, and spirit—so you can live strong, resilient, and joy-filled.
