Today, we’re talking about a season that can feel both exciting and unsettling: the impending empty nest.

When the kids leave home, whether it’s for college, a career, or life on their own, your home suddenly feels quieter.

The daily chaos that once defined your days is gone, but so is the constant connection you and your spouse had through parenting.

This can feel like a loss… or it can be the perfect opportunity to rediscover your husband and your marriage in a deeper, more intentional way.

This new season is a chance to move from “parents first” to “partners first.” But it takes intentionality. Here are three practical ways to reconnect with your husband in the empty nest season.

Sometimes life changes in a heartbeat. A diagnosis, a child leaving home, a shift in marriage, or even an unexpected loss of identity. Suddenly, what felt steady yesterday feels shaky today.

It’s in those moments that fear whispers: “You’re not going to make it through this.”

But God has a different word for you. Isaiah 43:2 says: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.”

That verse doesn’t say if you face deep waters—it says when. Storms are part of life. But here’s the promise: they will not sweep you away, because the Lord is with you.

Today, we're sharing 3 anchors to steady your soul when the storm hits without warning.

If you’re in a season of transition, whether it’s kids leaving home, a shift in marriage, retirement, or just that quiet ache of “something feels different now,” this episode is for you.

Because change is guaranteed. But living with peace, purpose, and connection? That’s a choice.

And here’s the hope: God has already gone ahead of you. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Even if life feels uncertain, His promises are not.

Today, I'm sharing 3 steps to walk through a life transition with faith instead of fear.

Today, we’re discussing how, even in seasons of change, your purpose remains alive. God is not finished with you.

From Change to Calling: Reclaim Purpose in This New Season.

Here are a few ways to begin reclaiming your purpose today:

1. Reflect on your gifts. What are you naturally drawn to? What do others thank you for?
2. Pay attention to holy nudges. That tug on your heart? Please don’t dismiss it.
3. Start small. Purpose grows with practice. Don’t wait for perfection.
4. Invite God into the process. He is the One who began a good work in you, and He’s not done.

And remember: Your life isn’t empty, it’s open. Open to growth. Open to joy. Open to purpose.

It’s open to what’s next.

June is one of those months that brings transition, whether we’re ready or not.

Graduations. Summer silence. Shifting routines.

Maybe your mornings are quieter. Maybe you’re packing up a college dorm room or realizing this is the first summer you won’t be coordinating swim meets and snack schedules.

And in the quiet, something stirs, an ache, a question, maybe even a little fear.

Who am I now? What’s next? Will it always feel this empty?

Three Simple Ways to Reconnect with Yourself

Let me give you three gentle ways to begin:

1. Reflect on What Still Brings You Joy Think back, what did you love before your days revolved around schedules and snacks? Was it reading? Painting? Volunteering? Start small. Reconnect with something that felt like you.

2. Create One New Summer Rhythm Not a to-do list—a rhythm. A morning walk, a journal practice, coffee with a friend. Something that nourishes you.

3. Talk to God About Who You’re Becoming This isn’t just a new season. It’s a new invitation. Ask: Lord, who am I now? Who are You calling me to be?

Welcome to The Family Room—where we talk about faith, relationships, and life in transition. If you’ve ever wondered, ‘What’s next for me?’—you’re in the right place.

Hey I’m Billie, and today I’m sharing my personal story of feeling lost in the middle of massive change and how I found my way back to purpose, peace, and connection.

What I’ve learned is that transitions are unavoidable. Whether it’s retirement, an empty nest, relationship shifts, or career changes, we all face seasons where we feel unanchored. But those seasons don’t have to be the end of the story.

They can be the beginning of something beautiful, if we have a guide, a little clarity, and some hope.

Have you ever sat with a cup of coffee, staring out the window, wondering... Did I do enough? Am I still needed? Did I fail somewhere along the way?

Maybe your kids are grown. Maybe they’re distant. Maybe they live close but emotionally feel far.

Or maybe you’re still in the thick of parenting and just wondering... Why does everyone else seem more confident than I feel?

Today on The Family Room, we’re talking about what happens when doubt whispers loudest.

Because even when your feelings say you’re not enough, God says something entirely different.

You’ve packed the lunches. You’ve wiped the tears. You’ve prayed the prayers they never even knew about.

Today, in The Family Room, we’re hitting pause… not to fix anything or figure anything out — but to celebrate you.

Because you are the mom God intended for your kids, and that matters more than you know. Here’s to A Lifetime of Uplifting Blessings for Every Beautiful Mom

Have you ever caught yourself lying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, wondering… Did I say the right thing? Did I mess that up? Will they ever come back around?

Fear is quiet… but it’s heavy. As moms, especially to adult children, we carry that silent weight like a backpack we forgot to take off.

In today’s episode of The Family Room, we’re discussing the unspoken fear that shapes the way we mother and how we can finally let it go.
