#72 Saying Goodbye Aug 22, 2024

Show notes

Saying goodbye to friends, jobs, certain seasons of life, family members, or careers in order to start something new, or to pursue something fresh, is almost never easy. Whether it's you staying behind saying goodbye or if it's you saying goodbye to start a new journey, both can be difficult - in a bittersweet way. As parents, we closed a chapter of life this past week as we said "goodbye" to our Daughter, as she moved states to start college. Such an exciting season for her, and for us, as we watch her grow into an amazing adult. In this, rather raw episode, we talk about our time this past week as we headed out to AZ to spend a few days hanging out and moving in, our new college Freshman daughter! We are sure you will be encouraged as you listen in, as we know you can relate to similar transitions in life. Enjoy & thanks for listening 🙏🏼
