In this episode of the EmpowerMoms Podcast, we dive into the idea of “forever homes”—and why that concept might not always hold up. From shifting family needs to evolving career paths, we open up about what happens when life changes course and you realize the home (or job) you thought was forever may have just been for a season.

We explore both the emotional and practical sides of moving, the tension between dream lifestyles and day-to-day reality (hello, rural life), and how parenthood often sparks a reassessment of what truly works for your family. Along the way, we get honest about career pivots, personal growth, and the freedom that comes from letting go of rigid expectations.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that it’s okay to change your mind—and your home address. Life isn’t linear, and neither is success. Whether you’re questioning your next move, navigating a career shift, or simply feeling the urge to do things differently, this one’s for you.
