Kate Battistelli is the mother of the popular Christian Music Artist:

 Francesca Battistelli. In this episode, Kate and I had fun sharing our experiences as moms of Christian Music Artists. While unpacking ways moms can prepare for the day when their kids will launch into the world. 

Many of you have children who will soon graduate from high school and head out to college or on their own. Kate's insights will give you courage and inspiration to face this new season of life, the "Second Act" as Kate calls it.


And you will also learn how you can help your parents transition gently into their new roll as empty nesters. Give us a listen and comment or share with friends.

We'd love to hear from you!

As a young actress in New York City, Kate had a life-changing experience, going from understudy to starring as Anna in the Broadway National Tour of The King and I opposite Yul Brynner for more than 1,000 performances. Kate and her husband laid down their careers in the Broadway theatre in answer to their first “God Dare”, moving out of New York City and into a life of homeschooling and home business. She lives in Franklin, TN, near her daughter Francesca and seven grandchildren. Kate serves women by encouraging them to step out of their safe space and into His irresistible future.
