Welcome to Episode 265 of Mornings with Monette—a podcast created for Christian women navigating midlife transitions, the empty nest, and the search for renewed purpose. If you’re asking, “What now, Lord?”, feeling spiritually dry, or struggling to rediscover your identity after years of pouring into others—this episode is for you.
In “Take Back the Pen: Why You Must Decide Your Life Before Someone Else Does,” Monette dives deep into the heart of what’s keeping so many midlife women stuck: surrendering their decision-making power and drifting through life without intentional direction.
You’ll learn how to:
✅ Reclaim your personal agency with grace and clarity
✅ Identify areas where you’re just going through the motions
✅ Limit distractions like social media and mindless habits
✅ Set bold, personal goals that reignite your passion
✅ Invite God into every decision and lean into His purpose for this chapter
This episode is a mix of faith-based encouragement, real-life reflection, and practical action steps designed to help you stop living reactively and start living purposefully—with God at the center.
Whether you're building a coaching business, exploring a creative side hustle, reconnecting with your spouse, or simply trying to figure out your next step, this message will remind you that you are not stuck—you're in transition. And with God's help, you can walk through it with courage, vision, and renewed strength.
