Welcome to my Substack!

Real stories of hope, courage, faith, and truth

Hello friend,

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here! This is where I’ll share from my heart about faith, family, the empty nest, and what it means to walk courageously with Jesus in every season—especially the messy ones.

If you know me already through my books (The After Party of the Empty Nest, The God Dare, Growing Great Kids), you know I believe God meets us right in the middle of our everyday ordinary. Whether you’re an empty nest mom, someone in the thick of raising kids, navigating life, or simply someone longing for more of God, I’m hopeful that what I write here will encourage your heart and remind you of this unshakable truth: you are not alone, and God is always faithful.

Here’s what you can expect in this space:

• ✍️ Honest stories from my own life—the good, the bad, the broken, and everything in-between.

• 📖 Biblical encouragement for the mountains and the valleys.

• 💬 Practical wisdom for walking out faith when life feels overwhelming.

• 🌱 Hope for women in transition.

• 💪 Strength for the journey.

I’ll post once a week (sometimes longer essays, sometimes short devotionals) so you’ll have uplifting words in your inbox.

This is so much more than a newsletter—it’s a community. I’d love for you to join the conversation in the comments. Tell me what season you’re in, what you’re learning, and how God is showing Himself faithful to you.

Let’s walk this journey together—through the valleys and toward the mountaintops—always trusting the One who goes before us.

With love and hope,

Kate
