Motherhood is filled with moments of letting go, from kindergarten to college. In this episode, Lee talks to author Brenda Yoder about preparing our kids for both the small launches and the big launches. It’s time to get real about mommy grief, the role of prayer during transitions, and letting God be the one in control of our important moments.
