episode Filling the Void of the Empty Nest with Clancy Denton cover

Description

This week, I’m joined by Clancy Denton, co-host of the podcast The Loud Quiet, for a conversation about motherhood, transitional stages, and leaning into the "loud quiet" of life after grown children leave home. Clancy shares her own experience and how she and her husband started mentoring an entire community of empty nesters, both in-person and over the airwaves. Clancy talks about their book, as well, which would make an excellent gift for Father's Day, college move-in day, Mother's Day, or graduation!

A Full Quiver, A Full Heart in Motherhood with Terri Bonin

Terri is a wife, mother, grandmother, and encouragement expert! As host of the At Home with Terri Bonin podcast, (which you can listen to the episode where I guested here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/your-motherhood-experience-hearing-about-a-unique/id1675298864?i=1000767577460) she speaks regularly to encourage women in their daily lives to be the best versions of themselves as the Lord intended. This was such a fun conversation talking about what makes a mom weird, when to let go as a Mom, how to embrace the bustle of life, and so much more. She made me laugh especially hard when she said she posts "fun" things like her son or her husband throwing her in the air and her doing the splits. Because, you know.... who doesn't have fun doing splits in mid air?!

episode From New Age to New Life with Doreen Virtue artwork

From New Age to New Life with Doreen Virtue

One of the most unique episodes of the podcast to date where I visit with Doreen Virtue. Once, she was the top authority and influencer in all things New Age, now she has serving Jesus as her top priority in life. Listening to her story was fascinating and hearing how she reflects on her motherhood journey really tugged at my heart strings. If you're curious about things like vision boards, yoga, or how one becomes involved in New Age at all - this episode will hit on all of those topics and then some!
