Empty Nest Guests Charlotte Guest

Mothers, Daughters & the Empty Nest

 

What We Need From Each Other

& What We Need to Offer

 

With Dr. Helen McIntosh and Charlotte’s Daughters, Kate and Cambri

As empty nesting moms, we find ourselves in unique spaces and places. Many of us are doing life with our own parents and our adult daughters. Some of us have more time on our hands and some have less. As we pour out and love our families, we also must manage our own expectations and emotions.

Listen in as Helen and Charlotte talk about:


How healthy is our nest? And our relationships?

 


How can we moms offer more than we expect to receive?

 


How do we not set ourselves up for disappointment?

 


How can we release our expectations, yet share our hopes?

 


What do our girls need from us?

 

Leaning in and looking to Jesus to lead our days is the answer to most of life’s issue. Yet sometimes it is hard to surrender and let Him do so. How can we better do this? Seeing our daughters with the eyes of Christ certainly helps us understand their lives and needs. Charlotte likes to ask her girls, “How can I best love and support you these days? How can I be praying for you?

 

What else can we do as moms to love our adult daughters as we empty nest?

 

Thanks for joining us in this meaningful conversation,

It’s Time for a New Life

Harness Hope, Joy and Believe in YOU!

 

With Pamela Jean

Founder & CEO

 

You really can have a new life in the empty nest! 



Now is the time to create the life you’ve dreamed of and the life you deserve.

 

Sometimes, we get stuck. We listen to voices that bring us down, our own voices, voices from others and voices from our past.

These negative thoughts set us back. Now is the time to go forward, to love yourself as the Lord does and harness positive thoughts and a hope-filled life.

 

Pamela Jean spends her life empowering women to believe in themselves, to lean into the Lord and to His promises.

 

It’s time to love yourself with the depth and intensity that the Lord does and to live fully and freely.

Listen in…you’ll be inspired to start today to take the steps to have the balanced life you desire.

Longing for More? 

With Kelly Needham, author, and podcaster

 

What if the more we crave is not something we achieve but is something we receive?

 

Are you longing for more? Do you ponder your purpose?

Listen in as Charlotte talks with author Kelly Needham about how we need to not be purposefooled.



We hear that we were made for more. Yet our modern understanding of what it means to live a meaningful life can feel like a burden, not a dream.

Kelly Needham explains the problem isn’t that we long for something more. The problem is what we believe “something more” is.

We spend our lives chasing the verbs when we were meant to live for the Noun.

 

Kelly offers insights into:


why our hearts long for a sense of purpose


what the Bible says about true world-changers


how to seek true greatness while embracing the ordinary


how resting can accomplish more than producing


& more

As we recognize the source of our hunger for the extraordinary, we can more forward in freedom rather than feeling stuck in guilt or disappointment.

We can discover how to build a purpose-filled reality without being purposefooled.

 

Let’s embrace the joy today that we always assumed was somewhere down the road.

 

Thanks for tuning in!

Your time is valuable, and we appreciate your sharing it with us.

A Look at Loneliness

 With Sydney Black MS, LPC

 

Have you ever been lonely? I have.

It surprised me.

Yet, I learned a lot from being lonely.

 

Listen in if you are lonely, have ever been lonely or know someone who is.

Jesus experienced the feeling of loneliness too. He knows just how to help.

 

In this episode, we talk about loneliness and: 


Isolation and the types of loneliness
Not wanting to burden others
How we can listen to untrue voices in our head
What it’s like to feel disconnected
Longing for companionship
The physical and mental effects of loneliness
Causes of loneliness
Situational loneliness and chronic loneliness
The signs of loneliness



Listeners, loneliness, being alone and solitude are not the same things. You need to know the difference as well as recognize the signs of loneliness, in either yourself or those you love.



SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY by calling 988 if you feel suicidal. 911 also is helpful in an emergency.


Involve God, involve others and seek help.

 

“Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish…Guard my life and rescue me…for I take refuge in You.” Psalm 25: 16, 17 & 20.

 

“…for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you or forsake you.” Deut. 31:6

 

“If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

 

“And surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age.” Matth. 28:20.

 

Thanks for tuning in. I always value your time and have you in my prayers. Remember listeners, YOU matter. You are worthy. You are valuable and You are LOVED so much by the One who made you. Don’t delay if you are experiencing loneliness…reach out…lean in and look up to Your heavenly father. Engage in the support you need and know that, like it is promised in Deut. 31:6, God IS with you. He will go WITH you, and He will NEVER leave you.
