Is the empty nest on the horizon? A little closer than you’re ready for? 

Are you in the throes of letting go and trying to navigate a new normal? 

Do you have some out of the nest and some still at home? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you'll want to listen to Episode 8 of the No More Perfect Podcast! 

Letting go is one of the hardest parts of parenting. We're so accustomed to calling the shots in our kids lives--after all we've done that for 18 years--that letting them go is particularly difficult. 

In this episode we explore six things every empty nest parent needs to let go of:

1. Expectations
2. Opinions
3. Traditions
4. Our child's problems
5. Our own idols
6. Guilt

If you're an "empty nest" or "close to the empty nest" parent, listen in!

If you're not an empty nest parent, can you share this with someone who is?

Does life ever feel like it’s more than you can handle? Do you realize that hard seasons tend to be where we fight to maintain control? Do you know that learning to “let go” will actually bring about better blessings in the midst of difficult circumstances?

When life gets hard, aspects of the future are uncertain, and we’re at the mercy of other’s decisions, we want more power over the situation. This is actually when we need to learn to let go which is opposite of what we feel like doing!

Let’s face it, sometimes there are problems in life that can’t be fixed no matter what we do. The more we learn to surrender control, the more peace we’ll experience.

In this episode, author and speaker Barb Roose and I talk about how to replace control with surrender which is something we ALL need to learn how to do!

It's an episode you don't want to miss!

How do you rebuild trust when it’s broken? In this episode, Mark and I tackle the question we’re asked ALL. THE. TIME.

We’re digging into rebuilding trust in a variety of relationships…not just marriage. After all, we deal with broken trust in parent/child relationships, friendships, extended family, and, of course, marriage.

The formula for rebuilding trust is this: changed behavior over time rebuilds trust. What does that practically look like, though? Join us in this episode where we dig into seven practical steps to rebuild trust and a whole new way of looking at accountability.

Have you ever felt like you aren't enough as a mom? Have you ever struggled comparing yourself to others? On this podcast episode Keli Reese joins me to talk about overcoming mom guilt, the power of surrender in motherhood, and the concept of the "ministry of motherhood." It's a conversation filled with wisdom, laughter, and valuable takeaways for every mom! 

Keli is the founder and speaker for Ministry in Mothering. Ministry in Mothering is designed to encourage and equip moms to live out Biblical truths, while in the throes of motherhood. Keli uses humor, transparency, and the Word of God to expose the ongoing reality of anxiety and guilt and to help moms replace it with fulfillment and joy.

Keli has been married to her husband Ken for 14 years. Together, they are raising their 5 children – Kenneth III, Kameron, Kenedi, Kylan, and Khloe – who are, as Keli calls them, her primary Ministry in Mothering.

Do you know someone who feels very deeply? They might even be affected by bright lights, strong scents, itchy clothing, and loud sounds. It's possible they sense other people's feelings before they ever say a word. They may even have a rich and complex inner life. This might be someone you know or it might even describe you! If you're not an HSP, you most certainly know an HSP, so listen in on this conversation with Cheri Gregory, the author of Sensitive and Strong so you better understand yourself or the HSP's in your life!
