As the seasons of life change, so do the dynamics of our family relationships. Carleeta Nelson joins us with a treasure trove of experience, sharing how she navigates the evolving roles of mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother—all while keeping her marriage of a 38-year marriage a top priority. She offers a playbook on transitioning through life's stages with grace and unity, exemplifying the power of "team family" as we welcome new members, celebrate milestones, and cherish the bonds that anchor our lives.

Carleeta shares about navigating and nurturing your adult children as they spread their wings and start their own families. This episode is a heartfelt examination of interdependence and the art of giving space without losing connection. Carleeta brings personal stories to the podcast, highlighting tailored efforts to show love and appreciation, all while maintaining the individual threads that weave the larger family tapestry together. These insights provide a roadmap for those of us entering these next stages of parenting. 

Witnessing your children become parents and stepping into the roles of Grandparents can be a source of profound joy and fresh perspective. Carleeta reflects on the lessons learned from parenthood and grandparenting, as well as the importance of quality time with the youngest members of the family. With tenderness and gratitude, we discuss the significance of building a loving legacy, holding that love with open hands, and the enduring satisfaction in sharing the journey of life and marriage with your partner. Join us for an episode that celebrates the beautiful complexities and deep connections within the family mosaic.
