Chasing Hard-Trusting God when life doesn't turn out the way you planned

We thought we were living ordinary days; packing lunches, driving to practice, doing laundry, making dinner. We didn't realize we were spending something we could never get back: TIME. Join Laurie talking about the bittersweet realization that so much of our time with our kids passes before we know how precious it is and what that means now that they're grown. If you've ever wished you could go back for just one ordinary Tuesday, this episode is for you.

What happens when the people who once needed you for everything no longer do so? Join Laurie as she talks about the identity shift that comes when our kids grow up, the difference between being needed and having purpose, and the beautiful possibility that God isn't finished with us yet. This season isn't about getting back to the mom we used to be, but discovering the woman God is asking us to be now.

As moms of adult kids, we can deeply want more time, calls and a bigger place in their lives without believing they owe us. In this episode, we're talking about the difference between longing and entitlement, making room for disappointment, and learning to love our adult kids without keeping score.

There's nothing quite like seeing your adult kid's name pop up on your phone, especially when they're calling for no reason. Join Laurie today as she talks about why those ordinary calls mean so much, how easy it is to measure closeness by how often they call, and why silence doesn't have to mean distance. Maybe the goal isn't to count the calls but to enjoy the connections when they happen.

There's a funny shift that happens when our adult kids build lives and homes of their own; suddenly we're the guests. Join Laurie as she talks about how to step into their world with curiosity instead of control, respect the life they're building, and simply enjoy being invited in. Sometimes the sweetest part is realizing we don't have to manage their lives anymore; we get to enjoy being part of it.
