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.

Just ordered this book. While I’ve launched my daughters, the letting go continues! And I want to encourage younger moms in this process. Thanks for a great podcast!
This podcast was powerfully timely, encouraging and redirecting in my heart and mind! I am sending it to many moms including my three adult daughters who are moms. The “mom grief “ explanation was very helpful! Thank you Lee and thank you MIP!!
