Integrating Personal Ambitions and Caregiving ft. Laura Acuña

In this episode of the Sandwich Season Sanity, I’m sharing my guest appearance on the Still Becoming Podcast with Laura Acuña, discussing the unique challenges and opportunities that come with balancing caregiving roles and personal ambitions during midlife. I’ll share my personal journey from being a busy mom of four to finding renewed purpose and productivity in the empty nest stage. Together, we discuss the grief and loss that often accompany this season, but also highlight the possibilities for growth and the exciting opportunities that await midlife moms.

We walk you through how the skills, talents, and experiences gained in motherhood can be powerfully redirected into new ventures, such as writing, coaching, and entrepreneurship. With honest stories about overcoming fear, learning new skills (even technology!), and embracing God-given desires, this episode is a must-listen for anyone wondering what’s next after the nest empties.
