Letting go is a process, y’all—and it’s okay to feel all the feels when your kids start spreading their wings. This week, I’m getting real about dropping my older son off at college, my younger son starting driving, and stepping into this new “what now?” stage of life. We talk regrets, lessons learned, and how the (almost) empty nest isn’t the end—it’s a fresh start. Remember, parenting was never about perfection—it’s about showing up, staying real, and modeling what it means to live fully. So let’s step into what’s next—and get excited about it, together.

In this episode:

• Dealing with emotions as kids leave home
• Letting go: personal regrets, lessons learned, and what I would do differently
• The benefit of open communication with your kids
• The “what now?” stage for parents
• Reinventing yourself and embracing new opportunities after the nest is empty

Here is my favorite quote from this episode:

“Parenting is more about who you are than what you say and do.” — Amy Goins

One decision can change everything, and in this episode of The Kim Gravel Show, I’m sharing the three-step method—Decide. Design.

If you've been wrestling with a big "Should I or shouldn't I?", this episode will help you move forward with clarity. You’ll learn how to break free from indecision and start taking bold, meaningful action. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to make a decision with confidence and start moving forward for good.

In this episode:

• Why your brain lies to you when you’re making big choices

This week, I’m exploring the difference between being busy and being purposeful, and why doing less can actually bring more peace and lead you to your calling.

• Taking inventory of what truly fulfills your life
• The difference between “wanting” and “calling”
