Everyone talks about the excitement of going away to college. The freedom, the new friends, the late nights, and starting a whole new chapter. But what happens when the excitement fades and you find yourself feeling... lonely?

In this episode we are talking about the loneliness epidemic affecting teens and young adults as they transition into college and life away from home. We talk about why loneliness can hit even when you are surrounded by people. We are reminding you that missing home, struggling to find your people, or feeling like you don't belong doesn't mean you made the wrong choice. It means you're human.

And most importantly - You're Not Alone in Feeling Lonely.

You don't have to earn your worth. You don't have to prove your value. And you definitely don't need permission to take up space.

In this episode of The Matriarchs, we're having a real conversation about what it means to know your worth, and live like it. For every girl who has questioned if she's enough, settled for less than she deserves, or looked to others for validation...this one is for you.

We're breakign down how to:

• Stop tying your worth to approval, attention, or achievements
• Set standards that protect your peace
• Walk confidently in who you are, without apology

Becuase the moment you realize your worth was never up for debate...everything changes.

Listen in, and step into the version of you who knows: You were always worthy, no permission required.

Friendships are a gift from God, but not every friendship is meant to last forever. In this episode, we talk about the difficult but sometimes necessary reality of letting go of certain friendships. As moms and women of faith, we want to love people well while also protecting the peace and calling God has placed on our lives.

We discuss what the Bible says about the people we surround ourselves with, including "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." Proverbs 13:20.

How do we know when it's time to step back from a friendship? How can we do it with grace, forgiveness, and love? Join us as we talk about boundaries, growth, and trusting God to bring the right people into our lives for each season.

Join us as we talk completely unscripted about some fun ideas that we had. From Needohs and Jellycats to friendships and gratitude journals. What are some fun things you enjoy to do?
