Episode 238. After the Kids Grow Up: Reclaiming YOU With Dr. Christy Kane

Mar 23, 2026

 

 

 

 

 

 

There’s a moment many women don’t see coming.

The house gets quieter.
The kids grow up.
Roles begin to shift.

And suddenly you find yourself wondering:

Who am I now?

For years you’ve poured your heart into motherhood, marriage, family, and service. And while those things matter deeply, they can quietly become the only place your identity lives.

So when life transitions happen, it can feel disorienting. Lonely. Even a little scary.

In this episode, psychologist Dr. Christy Kane and I talk about what it looks like to rediscover yourself during seasons of change.

We talk about the emotions many women experience but rarely say out loud. The quiet grief. The anxiety. The sense of losing yourself.

But we also talk about something hopeful.

Rebuilding identity.
Protecting yourself.
And learning how to create purpose again without abandoning the faith and values that matter most.

If you’re in a season of change or can feel one coming, this conversation might be exactly what your heart needs.
