Today we have our first guest episode … wooo who! Author Kate Battistelli (yes, Francesca’s mom!) joins us to talk about her book The After Party of the Empty Nest. As her website says, “As you begin your empty nest, you’re not only leaving your child behind, but the life you knew so well.” And that our friends, is why this season is so darn hard at times. It makes sense why we feel like a fish out of water! It’s braaaannndd new territory.
You’ll hear in this episode:
Why being mom is not your only name
Figuring out what else God has for you
Why it’s okay to grieve in this season
Three different types of mama birds and how they embrace the empty nest differently
How God may dare you to do new things
