The world is beating them down, ah, hard enough all the time. So if. If it's something that was a, ah, relational crisis or a big disappointment, I mean, I didn't get the award I wanted. I didn't get the job I wanted. I didn't get the. Didn't, get picked for, casting in a play or in a. Yeah. Or get to play first string on a sports team. So those things all are really. They make really, really hard days. and what we're trying to do is, like, buffer that so that it doesn't turn into a hard month and a hard year.
>> Diane:Yes.
>> Leigh Ann:Like, let's have this be what it is. Let's grieve it, let's talk about it.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:And really kind of get in there and let. Let God open up for something else, you know?
>> Diane:Absolutely.
>> Leigh Ann:Welcome back to the well grounded podcast. If this is your first time joining us, we just wanted to introduce ourselves. We are two lifelong friends sharing life over coffee and conversation. And I am Leigh Ann
>> Diane:I am Diane.
>> Leigh Ann:And we would love for you to join us today. Just, this is how we hang out. This is usually the way we do this. We just talk and talk about life, talk about our kids, talk about husbands, our faith, everything. So we're just so happy to have you here. Today. We're going to take on big emotions, big emotions, big events, big moments. So I'm going to let Diane kick us off here.
>> Diane:So I know, for me, big emotions cover a gamut of lots of things. We have graduations, celebrations first lasts so many momentous occasions, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, everything. And as your kids go from small kids to big kids, those emotions just keep getting bigger and bigger. I really don't know how else to say it other than that. Like, it really does the stance feel.
>> Leigh Ann:Higher, the intensity of things, so.
>> Diane:And we just wanted to take some time today to just really kind of delve into that and, you know, help. Help our listeners really understand that it's okay to have some of those big emotions right along with your kids.
>> Leigh Ann:Right.
>> Diane:I mean, we kind of ride that with them.
>> Leigh Ann:Right.
>> Diane:And, and things. But before we do that, we're gonna jump on over to our latte moment today. And it is a vanilla chip frappuccino, a similar drink to one of those great retailers that we all know and love. but it's a great, simple recipe, and there are so many of these online that you can just look it up. Remember, it's a job chip frappuccino, and you can find those, on online. And we'll also post it in our notes. And it's. It's very easy. I was looking up the ingredients because, again, I'm someone that needs less ingredients is better for me. And you really have four ingredients between coffee, milk, ice, chocolate syrup, and chocolate chips. So. And you can always add that whipped cream as a garnish. So we thought this would be a great summer.
>> Leigh Ann:Fun, refreshing.
>> Diane:You can get a whole bunch of this and make it as a family. You can do this. if you're gonna hang out at the pool one night, just do something fun like that. So we thought this would be a great way to just be. Have a great summer refresher.
>> Leigh Ann:So good. So good. It's always a treat. This was like one of the first, like, coffee house drinks that our younger daughters would order. Like a sweet drink.
>> Diane:It's very deserty, and if you do order it, you can order it without the espresso so that it can be just. My son would get that all the time because we didn't let him have coffee. Oh, yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:It's a younger, almost like a. Become more of a milkshake kind of thing in that family. That's awesome.
>> Diane:It is very fun. That's awesome.
>> Leigh Ann:The espresso, it makes us a little jumpy sometimes.
>> Diane:Definitely.
>> Leigh Ann:All right. All right. This is a big one.
>> Diane:This is a big one.
>> Leigh Ann:We're really just here to verbally process. Thank you for joining us. We have a lot going on in our lives, so we just want to share with you some things, kind of our thoughts as we go through this and just, you know, go for it.
>> Diane:I know for myself, big emotions has been a part of my kind of DNA. Just, I live with a husband who is an amazingly awesome adventurer. And we do lots of big things, whether it's with our businesses or with our families. And it's just, life is big, and what's kind of, you know, Leigh Ann and I have talked about this is, it's a John 1010 moment. we kind of live that living life to the full. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I just think it's a great way, to have, encouragement in our family and just to be able to walk alongside Jesus as well. So I feel like that's always a big thing.
>> Leigh Ann:I'm going to jump in because we know John 1010, we started talking about doing this podcast and we realized that we separately both really live on a foundational verse in our lives. Is John 1010 so I'm going to share that with you now. But, that's just something that we have in common. And so we, we say it by the, by the verse reference because we quote it so much.
>> Diane:Absolutely.
>> Leigh Ann:But we don't assume that you know that.
>> Diane:Yes.
>> Leigh Ann:So we're gonna just share that with you that Jesus said, I have come to give you life and life to the full, but the, thief has come to kill, steal and destroy.
>> Diane:Yes.
>> Leigh Ann:And so we know when things are coming up and there's a crisis point or there's conflict or there's something like we can just kind of line that up. Is this for our good? Is it for life, abundant life? Or is this something that's here to steal, kill and destroy? Now, not every hard thing in life is bad. Some. Sometimes that's just part of life and challenges. Exactly.
>> Diane:Every.
>> Leigh Ann:So that's not always growth.
>> Diane:Growth opportunities.
>> Leigh Ann:Exactly. So sometimes we have to process through things and go through hard seasons or hard things, and it's not necessarily the devil after you or something like that. We're not saying that. We're just saying in general, if it's about life and it's about, strengthening families, strengthening relationships, honoring God, those are things that we know are from him and things that are here to destroy, to tear down, to break relationships, to do that kind of thing are not from the Lord so well.
>> Diane:And as my kids have gotten older, what I've realized is that's those types of times in their lives is when you pray more, because you're praying that hedge of protection around them, you're praying that they're not going to be, you know, in the throes of whatever else is out there in the world, that they're just going to be steadfast. And it is definitely a constant prayer for me because I just always feel like that's something that no matter how far they are from me, whether it's at home, at school, at college, that I just feel like they need that protection prayer.
>> Leigh Ann:Yes. And when they're little, we're with them all the time. And this is just, this is not in, There's not that sense of worrying, like, what's going on when I'm not there because they're with you so much. But as they get older, there's a new level of that intercession of that prayer over them, of keeping that focus on, okay, God, I trust you. I'm not going to be afraid. I'm not going to have fear about these things, but really trying to embrace and to celebrate. So I do want to circle back because I interrupted you. I'm so sorry about celebrating things and the big things because you have four kids. We have three, and we are adding another son in law. So we have three kids, a son in law and then another son in law because our middle daughter's engaged. So we are just looking down the table at dinner.
>> Diane:Yes, it's just going bigger.
>> Leigh Ann:We're getting bigger and bigger. Right. So, everything, you don't want to miss out. You want to be present and be involved in, whether it's this child's birthday or this daughter's wedding or this graduation or whatever. So, how is that, you know, how do you stay in the moment of that? How do you, leading up to that, like planning for that, like give us some of your approaches.
>> Diane:I know you've talked to me about my planning skills. I love it.
>> Leigh Ann:I love it.
>> Diane:You know, it is one of my strengths and I, it's my big word in our family is intentionality. And I think it's very important that, you know, fruit is there. You think about what does the next three months look like? How are you going to put those events into your calendar? How can you make it work? Because every person I think needs, to have a celebration and my heart goes out to the parents that seem to have birthdays all in the same month or things like that because I don't know how I managed it, but I have a June birthday, an August birthday, a November birthday and a February birthday. So interferes a little holidays in there. That's twelve months celebration in my family. So we always have something that we can celebrate, but it actually works out really great for them because they definitely have that time to be celebrated.
>> Leigh Ann:Yes.
>> Diane:you know, but it's not always easy to do that. But I think it takes that intentionality that you do have to plan for it. and that way they also feel special because you can involve them in the planning, you can help them, they can be a part of the process. It doesn't always have to be a surprise. I know sometimes lots of people like to do those surprise parties and things, which are fun, I think, on milestones, but I think in the day to day or the year to year, I think it's a lot of fun to involve them.
>> Leigh Ann:So we're very anti surprise in our family. We love the anticipation of it and I think it's my personality probably influencing my family and I admit that. But I will enjoy the calendar meeting. Oh, putting it on the calendar, looking forward to it, thinking about it, shopping for it, counting down for it. So you're involved all the time. It's not just like a one and done?
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:We've put all this work in, and there's an hour of something, you know? But there is that feeling sometimes, whether it's prom or a big birthday or senior year or senior parties or something. Oh, we put all this in and it's over. Like, it comes and goes so fast and so trying to. That something that I know I've seen you do really well. The fruit is there. Your kids are all great party planners, too, and stuff, and learn from the best. Yes, that's what I was gonna say. They were, they were literally, like, apprenticed into this, you know? So, But I love to see that and, and just trying to take that value for it, because what I don't. I don't want us to say it's like, it's all about the party. It's all about the event.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:No, you know, it's. It's about the connection. Like you said, that intentionality is a relational piece. that we're not doing this because it's just, oh, we have to have the biggest and the best. It's because we want that, that individual in our family to feel and celebrate it.
>> Diane:And that's a great point. So, like, a celebration doesn't mean an event. Like a celebration could be going to the beach together, a family dinner. It could mean just carving out time and having a picnic in the park. So I definitely want to come across that a celebration, you know, it can mean many different things in your family, you know? So you just have to find what works for you and just make that intentional. and, of course, pictures. Pictures are a big part of it. you know, now that we all have iPhones or a small. A smartphone device, it's certainly easy to capture those moments. I was a big picture camera person, and so, you know, you had to wait for those pictures to develop or even yet, you know, you would take way too many of one and it wouldn't even come out. And so now it's great that you can almost edit and be able to share photos instantaneously, which is a great thing.
>> Leigh Ann:And I use that as my memory now because I can't remember. What day did we have that dinner? I don't know. I gotta look at the photos as like a. It's like a memory checker for me, too. I will say, just want to make sure that we touch on some of these things that we're bringing up and kind of running on, but that, that celebrating on different budgets, on different, time constraints. Like, you know, you have. Have everybody home for one weekend. You may not be able to go on the long trip. You just can't get them all together. And, Yeah, some of those things. But I do. I do feel like the planning is the thoughtfulness. The planning is the heart behind it. And saying, this matters. We're not going to let it, like, sneak up on us and then be like, oh, we didn't get to do anything. You know, kind of looking ahead and reserving that time, especially with those adult kids. Like, you have to, you have to say, get on their calendars.
>> Diane:Right.
>> Leigh Ann:And it's. I've been trying. I can get a little review card from my kids, but, I've been trying to say, we want you here. Here's the plan. So that they can have the option, because sometimes at the last minute, they just physically can't be there.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:But, If it's something that I'm gonna go the extra mile to let you know this is happening, we want you to be involved in it.
>> Diane:I could probably learn from you on that one because I probably don't give them that option very often.
>> Leigh Ann:This is the places.
>> Diane:This is the plan, and I expect you there.
>> Leigh Ann:It's a family culture. That's fine and definitely not the best.
>> Diane:Way to do it. You know what?
>> Leigh Ann:No, I was gonna say, I think the more people you have, there is that point of, like, we've got it.
>> Diane:Sure.
>> Leigh Ann:You know, make this a priority.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:But, But there are, like, I know.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:The road warrior moms here, like, yeah, I don't want to miss this stuff. And I know that that is overwhelming to have, especially when you have younger kids at home to stay involved with your, college kids or with your young adult kids that have moved out of the area.
>> Diane:Yes.
>> Leigh Ann:That is very challenging because you feel like you're picking one over the other. And I just. I just want to say, grace, grace, grace. You know, try to keep it even. Try to balance it out.
>> Diane:Sure.
>> Leigh Ann:I'm a middle child, so we'll have another episode on that. I've invited some middle children perspective on this show. So, But anyway, I just feel like, you know, that's something that we can consider. So some of the things we've talked about with graduations, weddings, even big high school events, like, things that. And college events, I know for me.
>> Diane:Like, last year, I had a college graduate and a high school graduate, so I felt like I was on two sides of the spectrum the entire six months leading up to that, because there were different occasions, but both big in their own. Right. And it's such, it was fun because they had a lot of similarities because they're graduates and class of 23 and all those kind of things, but very different at the same time.
>> Leigh Ann:Right.
>> Diane:And so one was launching into true adulthood where she was looking for a job. She was trying to find where is she going to live after college, where how everything was going to work out.
>> Leigh Ann:Right.
>> Diane:And the other one was just leaving all of those lasts. There was the last prom, the last time with her friends, and that was very emotional. It was an emotional ride last year. and so this year I have one college daughter who's graduating, and I'm just going to say my season will kind of complete for a little bit.
>> Leigh Ann:So I live.
>> Diane:I can probably recuperate, after this and catch my breath, but it is, it's great. I mean, I think, my encouragement to everyone out there is just to really understand that each child is different. They're going to process life different and to just kind of hone in on that. And you have to decide, like, how do you get to the heart of it with each of your child, you know? I love the five love languages book by Gary Chapman, and I love that, each person kind of processes life differently. So you kind of have to learn which way that they really, learn how to. To know what's in their heart. You know, we talked last time about their desires of their heart.
>> Leigh Ann:Yeah.
>> Diane:You know, and you want to really search that and help them find with that what's going to be the best for them as well.
>> Leigh Ann:And we weren't intending to have this be about celebrating individual kids, but. Yeah, but it is. That's a good conversation. To also have, communication with that individual is going to take you so far.
>> Diane:Sure.
>> Leigh Ann:Because if you are able to say, you know, what would mean more to you.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:Having a bunch of big events and busy, busy or having some quiet, two friends to dinner kind of thing, you know, whatever that is.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:Communication is going to carry you really far.
>> Diane:Absolutely.
>> Leigh Ann:So moving that from, those words of encouragement, those, you know, the world is beating them down hard enough all the time. So if. If it's something that was a relational crisis or a big disappointment, I mean, I didn't get the award I wanted, I didn't get the job I wanted, I didn't get the, didn't get picked for, casting in a play or in a. Yeah. Or get to play first string on a sports team. Those things all are really. They make really, really hard days. And what we're trying to do is, like, buffer that so that it doesn't turn into a hard month and a hard year.
>> Diane:Yes.
>> Leigh Ann:Like, let's have this be what it is. Let's grieve it. Let's talk about it.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:And really kind of get in there and let God open up for something else, you know?
>> Diane:Absolutely.
>> Leigh Ann:So.
>> Diane:Well, we talked a little bit when we were kind of content developing today, and we just said that, you know, when our kids are little, you know, and they're not. I'm not saying this to all of the toddler moms listening here. Listen, I'm not saying this in any kind of a flippant way.
>> Leigh Ann:Right.
>> Diane:But there's. I sometimes would go back to that stage of life in a heartbeat because you could soothe over their tantrum or their tiredness with apple juice and animal crackers and a good movie, and life is good. But as they get bigger and as they start getting bigger problems and bigger hurts and bigger things that they have to develop and, just deal with, it's hard, and it's hard on a mama's heart. Like, it's my heart sometimes. Just, whoo. By the end of the day, like, I am just worn down. And I love what you, you know, we've talked about here, and you have some great encouragement about it.
>> Leigh Ann:I just think that the transition. Just embrace the transition. And motherhood is a series of transitions. Right? Any relationship.
>> Diane:Absolutely.
>> Leigh Ann:But motherhood in particularly, is seeing what's a little bit ahead and sort of getting. I needed to get emotionally ready for it. I needed to. I just sort of appreciated it. If someone who is a little farther down the line could say, hey, this is coming. Yeah, this is. There's something down the road here. So, this feels really big. I've been the one in the checkout line with the crying kid and trying to get out of there as fast as I could, and people are looking at you and all that, and I hate that. I hate that for every young mom, that it's hard feeling of, oh, wow, you've got your hands full. You know, it's like, thank you. I know I'm good. You know, so. But it's.
>> Diane:Maybe our encouragement is to say, listen, we lived through it.
>> Leigh Ann:Yeah, we did it.
>> Diane:Yeah. Multiple times.
>> Leigh Ann:This is a blessing. And as soon. And it really. Your life, when your kids are young, shifts really quickly.
>> Diane:Yes.
>> Leigh Ann:In a matter of 30 minutes.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:When your kids are older, you are. You want to be able to say, I'm going to make that decision for you, and I'm going to help you, but you. That isn't your role anymore. You have to make that transition to a, support, to an advisor, to a friend, and if a confidant sometimes. Yes. Being able to be able to pray and not necessarily fix it.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:Not say, okay, we're gonna leave the park early because, you're not having a good time today, you know.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:you can't say that when it's there on their job, you know, like, you should just leave early. I mean, I would say that, but you shouldn't say that.
>> Diane:You shouldn't say that. Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:My children are like, you say that all the time. Just take a. Go home and get a treat. You need a treat. Get yourself a treat. I say that all the time, but I just want to. I just want to encourage you that the next season, is coming, whatever that is, whatever that looks like.
>> Diane:I like what you said. Your mom even shared with you when you were younger about that. I. Real encouragement.
>> Leigh Ann:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just when I was. When things were, like, really big to me, like, the 8th grade dance was really big in my. In my middle school, and, like, who was gonna. It's like your first time to have, like, a. A date or an escort to that, you know, kind of thing. And so it was like, that was the huge deal. And I remember her saying, this is sweet, and this is important, but, yeah, prom is going to be bigger.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:And then college dances are going to be bigger, and then your wedding is going to be bigger than that. So don't. Don't think this is the only thing.
>> Diane:Yes.
>> Leigh Ann:That's gonna matter to you ever. So remember to keep it in perspective that it's this one event, but there's other fun things to look forward to. And I think it took the pressure off of that disappointment. If it didn't go great, if your prom wasn't a dream come true. Yeah. Okay. It was a night. It was a, you know, hopefully you had fun. Hopefully you had made some, you know, good times with your friends or whatever, but that there's more coming. There's good coming. So. Yeah.
>> Diane:Well, one of the pieces of advice I remember you gave to me, when I was getting into the teenage you've had, your oldest is just a couple years older than mine in small.
>> Leigh Ann:Group we always had, like, the oldest child.
>> Diane:So it was great to just have a little glimmer of what is next. And I remember you told me one time that, just wait when they are about to go to sleep, that is when they're going to want to talk to you. And especially if you have daughters. And I actually, I can attest to it.
>> Leigh Ann:It's with, oh, yeah, me too. My son.
>> Diane:I, you know, listen, they get you down. They tell you this when you're actually. Your tiredness.
>> Leigh Ann:Yes.
>> Diane:And they. And I. But I love it. And I do now, I know to anticipate it.
>> Leigh Ann:Right. And not to be irritated and annoyed.
>> Diane:Oh, why are you wanting to? And if I go into their room and before that, you know, bedtime, zone, I know to expect it. And so I go in there knowing, okay, I'm probably gonna be in here a while.
>> Leigh Ann:Yeah.
>> Diane:And, And things, which is fine, which I.
>> Leigh Ann:Love, point of the day, it's actually a good thing. But if you are really, like, I go to bed at
10:00 no matter what, or 930. No matter what. And you don't buffer for that. You don't see that as a privilege that you're gonna get a little time with them.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:To just hear their thoughts and be able to process with them. Then it can be like, why are they doing this now? But somebody says, hey, heads up.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann:They really, they've processed their whole day and they're ready to download a little bit.
>> Diane:Yeah.
>> Leigh Ann: At 11:00 p.m. and you're like, yeah, okay.
>> Diane:And that doesn't change when they go to college, because I have my college daughters, I get the text between ten and midnight, usually. Yeah. And that's when they're, they're processing their day and they're like, let me tell you this. Let me tell you that. Or can you help me with this? And, you know, you just want to be present with that. So, I I do think about it, and I had a mentor years ago as well that, said to me one day, you will miss this. When they are really off and on their own, you will miss this check in that goes in my head a lot. And I will attest that my oldest, I don't have that daily check in anymore. I mean, like, it's. It's every other day. Sometimes it might be once in the day, but, so it does change. And I think that's okay. And I'm, We're growing with that, and it's fine.
>> Leigh Ann:Right.
>> Diane:But I can tell you that it's definitely, definitely changes as they get older.
>> Leigh Ann:And not to. Not to resist it, not to fight it, but just to be like, okay, I want to be here for all the things.
>> Diane:Definitely.
>> Leigh Ann:And that's our encouragement today is really just to say, however you're anticipating it, however you're, whatever you're walking through right now, to take some time and just pray and ask to have, like, a heart of openness to what, not just what your child needs from you, because I think you'll hear that a lot from us because that matters to us. Yeah, but so what is God leading you to do?
>> Diane:Sure.
>> Leigh Ann:So for us, it's this joy and this privilege to be present with our kids and to be involved in all the things. And maybe you're in a situation where you're not as close to your kids right now and you, you're praying for that. So how is God leading you to just to take that next step in that and, like, how can I be a strong parent, a godly parent, speaking truth into their lives, loving them, even if it's not like a day to day check in thing, maybe there's some distance there. And so I just want to.
>> Diane:I know I'm very fortunate because I have all my kids still in the state with me. And so it does, you know, that makes a difference. And I know that's not that way for everyone.
>> Leigh Ann:Right.
>> Diane:And I think, it'd be a neat perspective to hear from some of our listeners. You know, put it in the comments, tell us about things because we want to engage with you. We want to know about some of the things that you're dealing with and struggling with. And so let us know. Know that, we're also up on well grounded podcast on Instagram, and we'd love to hear from you on there. You know, dm us give us some information, feedback. We want to be praying for you. We praying for you and your kids. I know it's a struggle out there, and I said, I think today is definitely just about, like, just laying it out there because, again, this has been one that I've been thinking about for a long time. I think when we made our list of podcast topics, this was probably one of my first ones.
>> Leigh Ann:Yes.
>> Diane:it was big emotions because it's.
>> Leigh Ann:Just a place to talk, a place to process, a place to think about it and, and to let you know you're not alone. Like, honestly, there's just some of these things. It's not that we're offering you. Like, here's the greatest insight ever. You know, we're. We're going to be as vulnerable as we can on the things that have worked and haven't. But we just want to leave you encouraged and refreshed.
>> Diane:And you had a great verse that you wanted to share, too, about, that, you know, in two corinthians twelve nine, jesus says, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. And we're not saying weakness as in physical weakness, always. We're just saying sometimes we feel worn down.
>> Leigh Ann:Yeah.
>> Diane:And this is when we do have to turn to our father. We do have to say, give me that strength that we need for each day. Because sometimes these big emotions, these things that are going on in our lives do tend to be a burden to us. And if we do not cast them, to cast our cares on God because he cares for you, give him that burden. Let him know what's going on. And I'm guilty of that, that I don't always do that. You're great. Check in on me. To be like Diane, you need to make sure you are. you know, how's your prayer time right now? How's your prayer life? You know, are you giving your time? Because if I'm not in the word or doing those things, then I feel more worn down.
>> Leigh Ann:And we're. When you're doing it in your own strength, you're going to wear out faster than when you're doing it through him. So that grace, if your grace is expiring on something we say, it's like, I need a fresh portion of that grace because his, power is going to show up even stronger.
>> Diane:So thanks for joining us today.
>> Leigh Ann:We're so glad to have y'all.
>> Diane:As we leave today, we always want to share our blessing over you, and that is so Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith and that you may be rooted and grounded in love. Then that comes from Ephesians 317. And that's just kind of the life verse that has been prayed over and thought about for this podcast. That's where our name came from with well grounded, and we just really want to make sure that you feel that way as well. Stay well grounded, be refreshed, be encouraged, and stay well grounded.
