4 Big Transitions in Our Life Right Now

I didn’t get a chance to share this podcast episode here yet, so it’s a little dated, but I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation Jesse and I had a few weeks ago about 4 big transitions in our lives right now…

We are talking all about transitions on this podcast episode because the week we recorded this episode, we experienced four big transitions! From Kathrynne embarking on her college journey and stepping into adulthood to David starting preschool to Kaitlynn getting her license to us starting a new homeschool/work schedule, it has truly been a rollercoaster of emotions and changes!

We share the joys and challenges of these significant life changes and how we are adapting to accommodate these shifts. Join us as we discuss the importance of embracing transitions, the power of community, and the unexpected blessings that come with watching our children take flight into new adventures!

I also reveal how a simple question from Jesse saved my sanity during this hectic week. You won’t want to miss this episode full of real-life stories and insights into navigating transitions with grace and hope!
