The Girlfriend's Guide to an Empty Nest

44. Becoming Someone Joyful to Be Around


Listen Later

There is a different tone in homes when laughter is easy, jokes are made more often and when your spouse is actually enjoyable to be around and not weekly getting a case of the Sunday Scaries (you know, dreading the upcoming work week). So today we pose the question: what can we do to set a joyful atmosphere in our homes as wives and moms? This episode is all about intentionality. Taking action to get a better outcome. 


We pray this one encourages you, girlfriends!


Today we dive into:

  1. How our contentment at work (or lack of) impacts our home lives

  2. Why YOUR pursuit of joy benefits your loved ones too

  3. Thoughts on changing jobs in the Empty Nesting season to bring you more purpose

  4. Looking for next steps once your kids leave, to lead you to new callings 

  5. Our experience with being Empaths and how that feels when your spouse is down

  6. Recognizing the impact you have as a woman on the mood in the home

  7. Ideas to have more fulfilling relationships and days

  8. How to find things that bring you joy and how to allow your deep dreams to awaken

  9. Amazing stats about productivity in your 50’s and 60’s

  10. Accidental joy hunting vs intentional joy hunting 

  11. The importance of staying curious
