For women who have built lives on responsibility, productivity, and being needed, slowing down can feel less like rest and more like exposure.

In this honest and vulnerable conversation, Jackie and Christi talk about midlife transitions, empty nest emotions, performance-driven identity, and the deep question beneath it all:

Do I believe God delights in me apart from my usefulness?

With wisdom, humor, and a few “wow” moments, they explore abiding in Christ, Sabbath as a gift, and the freedom to root your identity in who you are — not what you do.

If you’re navigating a new season and asking, “What now?” — this episode will meet you right there.
