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

When your son falls in love, another woman becomes one of the most important people in his life. And while that's exactly what's supposed to happen, it can bring unexpected emotions. In this episode, Laurie talks about the changing role of a mother, making room for the woman he loves, and learning that loving your son sometimes means stepping back,not losing your place, but finding a new one.

Sometimes the hardest part of loving our adult kids is knowing whent ot stay quiet. We see things, we worry, and we have advice we're convinced could help, but not every thought needs to be spoken. Join Laurie as she talks about the difference between loving and controlling when silence can be an act of trust, and how to know when it's time to speak up. If you've ever struggled to bite your tongue while your adult kid makes their own choices, this episode is for you! Because sometimes the most powerful thing a mother can do is pray, trust God, and let Him do what only He can do.

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.
