What do you when are nearing an empty nest and you realize you may have lost touch with the girl in you? What do you do when your husband tells you he’s struggling with pornography? What do you do when it takes more than a positive personality to move forward?


We dig into these topics and so much more today with my friend, Tammy Franklin. Tammy and I have known each other for years. In fact her husband, gospel music legend Kirk Franklin, introduced me to my husband Jessie.

Listen in to hear how the same God who helped Tammy successfully journey through a difficult season in her marriage,  is now helping her to navigate through the challenges of her current season – preparing to be an empty nester.  You will be encouraged as you hear what it means for Tammy to answer the question she finds herself asking in this season of her life… “who am I now?”

Truth be told, we all ask that questions at least once or twice in our lives.  The good news, while the journey is not always comfortable in getting to the answer, ultimately the journey is good.

Highlight from Today’s Episode:

  • Benefits and challenges of being optimistic
  • Preparing for an empty nest
  • Gaining a new perspective
  • Surviving marital challenges
