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.

You prayed about it. You stepped out in faith. And then it didn't go the way you expected.
So now you are wondering: Did I miss God?
In this episode of Taking Back Happy, we're talking about the freedom that comes when you realize the outcome is not yours to carry. Maybe the results aren't proof that you blew it. Maybe God is working in ways you can't yet see.

You don't see it coming. The moment when the people who once carried you begin to need you in new ways. 
Suddenly, you are holding more than just your own life; memories, responsibility, emotions, and the pain of watching things change. 
In this episode, we're talking about caring for aging parents. It's sacred. It's stretching. And some days, it's just plain hard. But the question comes down to: How do you want to show up?

So many women walk through life carrying the choices, emotions, consequences and outcomes of the people they love most in this world. But God never called us to carry anyone else's load.

Midlife and camping have a lot in common.
Hiking with friends. Splashing in the rain. Needing a little help in the dark. Discovering the view is worth the hike. And somehow... it's still beautiful!
Let's talk about the trail, the laughter, and why your spark might be waiting somewhere between the downpour and the scenic overlook.
