Some women reach their senior years longing for peace—but when life finally slows down, they don’t know what to do with it. After years of navigating drama, trauma, and high-stress seasons, the stillness can feel… uncomfortable. In this episode of Oma’s Musings, we talk about how drama can become a familiar rhythm—even an addiction—and why it’s so hard to let go of it.If you've ever felt restless without chaos, or found yourself stirring things up just to feel alive, this one’s for you. We’ll look at why we crave drama, what Scripture says about renewing our minds, and how to step into a slower, more peaceful life with intention and grace. Because you don’t need a crisis to feel alive—you need Christ.

the retirement years. I’m Kathy: wife, mom, Oma, and now living in the slow lane after years of rushing through life.

This podcast is like sitting down with a friend for a cup of coffee and a good honest chat. We talk about decluttering and simplifying, sure—but also about what it means to live intentionally now that the kids are grown and the house is quieter (well… except for the barking dogs and squeaky toys).

I share real-life stories, unsolicited advice, and little lessons I’ve learned along the way about marriage, faith, boundaries, frugal living, and navigating this season with a little more peace and a lot less pressure.

Whether you’re a fellow retiree, an empty nester, or just someone craving a slower, simpler rhythm—you’re welcome here. And don’t worry if you’re not a person of faith—this space is always kind and never preachy.

Come on in. Let’s clear out the clutter and make room for what truly matters.
