Taking Back Happy | Faith & Encouragement for Midlife Women Reclaiming Their Joy

Do you feel liked you blinked and found yourself in midlife? Now that your kids are grown, does your confidence feel shaken? Do you feel your courage fading now that you are no longer so & so’s wife? Are you ready to try something new, but fear and doubt keep creeping in? Do you want a meaningful, joyful, and adventurous midlife?
I am so excited you are here! Through faith and encouragement this podcast will challenge old mindsets, build your confidence, help you find clarity, and renew your spark, as you step into “what’s next.”
Hi, I’m Gina. I am God’s girl, a retired homeschool mom of four, empty-nester, GG, essential oil & exercise enthusiast, and a Christian Life Coach.
For the past 10 years I have been digging myself out of an unhealthy marriage and rediscovering God’s joy and purpose beyond raising kids.
For the longest time, I honestly believed I would never be as happy and fulfilled as I was being a homeschool mom.
In recent years, I began to realize that to truly enjoy this season of life, I needed to replace negative thoughts with curiosity and possibility. I started seeing myself as someone with unique gifts ready to share with the world.
Since making that shift, my life has become filled with deep joy, renewed passion, a clear sense of purpose, plenty of adventure and new beginnings. And I’m ready to share what I learned with you.
If you’re a woman who’s ready to take back your happy and start…
trying new things
building your self confidence
developing deeper relationships 
reclaiming your joy
and finding clarity as you decide what’s next in midlife, then this podcast is for you!
Throw on those walking shoes, pop in those earbuds, and join me as we Take Back Happy together.

Six stinking minutes, or should I say six sparkling minutes? Can two opposite things really be true at the same time? Yes, I believe both can be true. Life is richer than either/or. God often invite us into both/and.

What if feeling restless, stuck, or unsure about what comes next in midlife, isn't a sign that something is wrong? What if it is actually an invitation?
An invitation to dream again, create again, and to become more fully yourself than you've been in years. Maybe your story isn't winding down. Maybe it's just getting interesting.

What if Mother's Day isn't exposing your children, but your somewhat unrealistic expectations?
This week we are having a honest conversation many midlife moms quietly carry but rarely say out loud: Why does Mother's Day feel heavier now that the kids are grown?
We'll consider the painful gap between expectations and reality, the identity shift that comes with changing roles, and how we can stop letting one day define our worth.
