Ep 54- Why Mother's Day Feels Different Now
Taking Back Happy | Faith & Encouragement for Midlife Women Reclaiming Their JoyShow Notes
What if Mother's Day isn't exposing your children, but your somewhat unrealistic expectations? This week we are having a honest conversation many midlife moms quietly carry but rarely say out loud: Why does Mother's Day feel heavier now that the kids are grown? We'll consider the painful gap between expectations and reality, the identity shift that comes with changing roles, and how we can stop letting one day define our worth.

You know what a hurricane can destroy. Even if you haven't personally experienced it first hand, like my family has, you've definitely seen the devastating images. But have you ever thought about what a destructive storm might restore? You might be surprised!
What do you do when you look around at your life and think, "This is NOT what I wanted'? Maybe its not fair. Maybe your's grieving something you thought you'd have. Or maybe life simply looks nothing like the picture you had in your head. But what if there is something beautiful hiding in your life right now, but you are about to miss it because you're still waiting for things to look different? Friend, God isn't finished with your story.
What if the person you keep wishing would change, isn't actually your problem to solve? Your husband. Your partner. Your boss. Your friend. Your adult child. That person who seems to have the power to steal your peace just by doing what they do.
You've spent years waking up for everyone else. Now what? Maybe this next chapter isn't about figuring out what to do. Maybe instead it starts with you Waking Up!
What if you are not happy, and you don't need to pretend you are? Sometimes taking back happy doesn't mean forcing a smile and a positive attitude. It starts with being honest about what hurts, and then deciding you don't want to stay there. This week, we're talking about three simple steps: Notice. Feel. Move. Maybe happy isn't something you find. Maybe it's something you begin taking back, one honest, courageous step at a time.
