#151 The Void: When You’ve Let Go but Don’t Know What’s Next
Update: 2025-09-16
Description
In this deeply personal episode, I share a journal entry I wrote just weeks before dropping my boys off at college, closing my business, grieving friendship shifts, and walking through the final days of my mother-in-law’s Alzheimer’s journey.
This isn't a strategy session. It’s an honest reflection on what it feels like to let go of everything familiar—and face the silence that follows. I call it The Void—and if you’ve ever been there too, I hope this episode helps you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.
Whether you’re grieving a role, a relationship, or just sitting in a season of waiting, this conversation is for you.
Key Takeaways:
- You’re not the only one feeling lost after the kids leave or the business ends
- Letting go isn’t failure—it’s often the first step of obedience
- Sometimes the hardest part isn’t what we lose—it’s the quiet space left behind
- You can’t out-strategize surrender or hustle through heartbreak
- God is still working—even when life feels foggy, slow, or silent
- The daily things (walks, dishes, dinner) are sacred
- It’s okay to just be here, to breathe, and to trust His timing
