Oma’s Musings: Embracing Empty Nest and Beyond

Tired of Making Decisions? Here’s What Helped Me


Listen Later

In this episode of Oma’s Musings, I share how letting my husband take on more decision-making has brought me peace, contentment, and freedom in my senior years. From planning an RV show trip to everyday choices like meals and dog care, I’ve discovered the joy of letting go.I also share a list from ChatGPT of other areas women can release control—everything from meal planning to family expectations—and how doing so helps us breathe a little easier.And most importantly, I reflect on how faith reminds us that we don’t need to fix everything. We can pray, trust God, and let Him guide the outcomes.👉 Download The Let Go List printable here: https://omasmusings.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Let_Go_List_Checklist.pdf
