77 | Feeling Lonely as a Mom? How to Grow Through This Season| Parenting Teens

Have you ever looked around and realized that somewhere along the way, your friendships changed?

As our sons get older, so much of our daily life changes with them. The school drop-offs, activities, and routines that once naturally brought us together with other moms begin to disappear. Our sons become more independent, schedules get busier, and sometimes we can find ourselves feeling lonely—even when we have a husband, family, friends, and people who love us.

That loneliness doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong. Sometimes it simply means we’re in a season of change.

In this episode of Raising Boys with Purpose™, we’re talking about loneliness in motherhood, changing friendships, and what can happen in our own lives as our teen and young adult sons begin building lives of their own. I’m sharing a little of my own experience with friendships that gradually changed as my boys grew and why I think there can be something valuable for us to discover during these quieter seasons.

And when we’re ready, what might it look like to step outside what’s comfortable and begin making room for something new?

If you’re raising a teen or young adult son and have wondered why this stage of motherhood can sometimes feel unexpectedly lonely, this episode is for you.

Also, luck you! This is a cat purring edition. lol

🎧 Listen in, and let’s talk about how we can grow through a lonely season instead of simply waiting for it to end.

📖 SCRIPTURE
