Welcome to the very first episode of Taking Back Happy—a podcast for midlife women rediscovering God’s joy and purpose in a new season of life. I’m your host, Gina Granville, a former homeschool mom who recently stepped into the quiet of an empty nest—and found myself wrestling with an unexpected question: Who am I now?
In this debut episode, I share my personal journey of letting go of the identity I built over years of motherhood and homeschooling, only to feel lost when that chapter ended. I open up about the grief, the confusion, and the quiet longing for something more. But I also share how God gently began to show me that the end of one season isn’t the end of my purpose—it’s the beginning of something new.
If you’re wondering where your joy went—or how to reclaim the sense of purpose that once came so easily—this episode is for you.
I will encourage and challenge you to rediscover God’s joy and purpose, and share how you can truly Take Back Your Happy during these midlife years.
If this episode speaks to your heart, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs encouragement. We’re just getting started—and you belong here.
