    It's worth it! A Q&A with our husbands

    In this episode of The Well Grounded Podcast, hosts Diane and Leigh Ann welcome back two familiar favorites—their husbands, Tim and Dan! This time, the couples are turning the tables with a fun and candid Q&A about marriage, family, and navigating life after raising children. As children grow up and begin building lives of their own, marriage enters a new chapter. While the empty nest can bring exciting opportunities, it also comes with adjustments, unexpected challenges, and plenty of opportunities to rediscover what it means to be a couple. Through laughter, honest reflections, and a few surprises, Diane, Leigh Ann, Tim, and Dan share their perspectives on embracing this season together. In this episode, we discuss: The husbands give their wives a report card on how they're handling their (mostly) empty nestsStaying connected and making intentional time for each other in marriageAdjusting to life as children grow up and become more independentLessons learned through decades of marriage and parentingWhat advice they would give their younger selvesThis episode is especially encouraging for married couples approaching the empty nest, parents of adult children, and anyone looking to strengthen their marriage through life's changing seasons. If this conversation encourages you, share it with your spouse or a friend who could use a little laughter and encouragement in their marriage journey!

    The Husbands are Here

    In this episode of The Well Grounded Podcast, hosts Diane and Leigh Ann welcome back two familiar favorites—their husbands, Tim and Dan! Together, they explore the Season 5 theme of Wisdom & Whimsy, sharing personal stories, biblical insights, and plenty of laughter along the way. Life is full of moments that remind us just how quickly the seasons change. From raising children to watching them begin new chapters of their own, each season brings opportunities to grow in wisdom, deepen our faith, and appreciate the unexpected joys along the way. Sometimes the most meaningful lessons come from the moments we never want to forget. Through heartfelt reflections and a little husband humor, this conversation reminds us that wisdom doesn't always come from having all the answers, and whimsy doesn't have to be something extraordinary. Both can be found in the everyday experiences God places before us. In this episode, we discuss: Finding fresh wisdom in Scripture, including Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, as we move through different seasons of lifeHow a simple daily Bible reading habit can deepen your understanding of God's WordRecognizing and celebrating the whimsical moments in everyday lifeDan's book, The Search for Reath, and the inspiration he found in his parenting yearsThe emotional experience of being a father of the bride and watching your children enter new seasonsThe importance of family, faith, and supporting the next generationThis episode is especially encouraging for parents navigating changing family dynamics, couples embracing new seasons of marriage, and anyone looking to grow in biblical wisdom while finding more joy in everyday life. If this conversation encourages you, share it with a friend or family member who could use a little more wisdom, whimsy, and laughter in their life!

    Find Whimsy in Your Season

    In this episode of The Well Grounded Podcast, hosts Diane and Leigh Ann continue exploring the Season 5 theme of Wisdom & Whimsy and what it looks like to embrace both through the different seasons of life. Life rarely stays the same for long. Some seasons are full of excitement and possibility, while others can leave us wondering when something new will finally begin. Diane and Leigh Ann reflect on the encouragement found in knowing that wherever we are today isn't necessarily where we'll be forever—and that God can use every season to grow, shape, and prepare us for what's ahead. Using Bob Goff's Catching Whimsy as a starting point, this conversation is an invitation to approach life with expectation rather than simply going through the motions. Even in seasons that feel difficult or ordinary, there are opportunities to notice what God is doing, encourage the people around us, and rediscover the joy that's easy to overlook along the way. In this episode, we discuss: Finding wisdom and whimsy in every season of lifeTrusting God when you're ready for your current season to changeUsing Scripture to interrupt negative thoughts and redirect your focusBuilding a collection of meaningful Bible verses to lean on in difficult seasonsWhat it means to share “good gossip” and intentionally speak well of othersFinding simple ways to experience the joy of the Lord in everyday lifeLessons from Catching Whimsy that can help us approach life with greater faith, gratitude, and joy This episode is especially encouraging for anyone navigating change, transition, or a difficult season, or simply looking for practical ways to find more joy in God's Word. What can you do this week to experience the joy of the Lord? If this conversation encourages you, share it with a friend who could use a little wisdom, whimsy, or encouragement in the season she's walking through. ⸻ Resources Mentioned: Latte Moment: Brown Sugar Iced Shaken Espresso – https://myeverydaytable.com/brown-sugar-iced-shaken-espresso/Verses of Encouragement: Ecclesiastes 3:1–8; Proverbs 16:9; Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 9:22–23; Ephesians 4:14–15; 1 Corinthians 12:7Catching Whimsy by Bob Goff: https://a.co/d/08T56E8NYour Gratitude Guide by Audrey Bailey: https://faithgateway.com/products/your-gratitude-guide-your-gratitude-guide-an-inspirational-journal-to-cultivate-a-joyful-heart Join the Well Grounded Community Have a favorite coffee recipe?

    How to Catch Your Whimsy

    Welcome to Season 5 of The Well Grounded Podcast: Wisdom & Whimsy! Diane and Leigh Ann are back—and recording from their brand-new studio—as they catch up after summer break and look ahead to a new season filled with faith, growth, wisdom, and a little more whimsy. Inspired by this season’s theme verse, Ecclesiastes 3:1 — “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens” — Diane and Leigh Ann reflect on what it means to embrace the season God has placed you in. Life is constantly changing, and while some transitions require wisdom to navigate, there is still room to seek joy, curiosity, creativity, and a little whimsy along the way. Diane shares about a summer filled with family milestones, including celebrating her daughter’s wedding and preparing to welcome another daughter home after her travels around the world. Leigh Ann shares how she’s embracing creativity through her new hobby of embroidery, and together they reflect on navigating transitions, finding joy in the unexpected, and learning to appreciate where God has them right now. In this episode, we discuss: What “Wisdom & Whimsy” means and what you can expect from Season 5Finding purpose in the season of life God has placed you inMaking room for creativity, new hobbies, and things that simply bring us joyChoosing joy while trusting God through seasons of change This episode is especially encouraging for women navigating a new season of life, adjusting to changes in their families or routines, or simply wondering how to find more joy and purpose in the season they're in.
