Please welcome this week’s guest, Marci Seither, mother of six and author of Empty Nest: Strategies to Help Your Kids Take Flight, to discuss the empty nest transition. In this episode, we explore the often unexpected emotional impact when children leave home and offer practical advice for navigating this change.
Our conversation covers how the departure affects the entire family, including younger siblings who remain at home, and the shift it brings to marital relationships. Whether you're anticipating or currently experiencing an empty nest, this episode provides honest discussion and encouragement. We'll examine how faith can guide us through this new life stage and discuss ways to approach the changes ahead.

POWERFUL QUOTES FROM MARCI
"There’s a difference between ownership and stewardship of our kids. As parents, we “are not the owner of [our kids], we are the stewards of them.”
“You cannot impart what you do not possess. If you want to teach your kids about balance, you’ve got to show it.”
“Live in the season you’re in, but think about the season to come.”
