About The After Party of the Empty NestThe empty nest can be one of the toughest parts of parenting. It's a holy, hard giving-back, a sacred release of our children into God's care and their next chapter. But you, too, have a new chapter, and you can find peace as you transition from mom to empty nest mom and rediscover that mom is not your only name.Have you asked yourself:• Who am I now?• What is my purpose now that my children are gone?• What gifts and talents do I have to offer?• What should my priorities be?• How do I become something more than “Mom?”You're not alone, mama. Among the tears and apprehension of this brand-new season or the joy and celebration that you finally have your house back, you can find a new purpose as one mothering era ends and another begins. You'll discover your life is more than carpooling, laundry, and cries of “Where are my shoes?” And you'll find freedom to act on the dreams you deferred while handling the responsibilities of raising your children.There is a second act, a future with your name on it, different from your children's but filled with hope and surprises you cannot begin to imagine…if you plan for it, believe in it, and, with the Lord's help, walk fearlessly into it.You are cordially invited to the After Party…because Mom is not your only name.Purchase a copy of The After Party of the Empty Nest here.Connect with Kate Battistelliwebsite | Facebook | Instagram | XKate Battistelli is the author of The After Party of the Empty Nest: Mom is Not Your Only Name, the bestseller, The God Dare: Will You Choose to Believe the Impossible, and Growing Great Kids: Partner with God to Cultivate His Purpose in Your Child's Life.

Are you in the season of life where you are an empty nester? Or maybe the season is quickly approaching for your family. Being a devoted mother for years and then coming to a hard stop when your children leave home can be extremely sad and confusing. We, as mothers, pour our very heart and soul into caring for our children for the first 18 years in a day-to-day capacity. The fact that you are now presented with the reality that those days are (soon-to-be) over does not mean you have to feel a lack of purpose. God has plans for every season of your life. You are not just a mom; you are much more, and you can find purpose in what God has for you in this next season. Listen in as Tiffany Jo Baker speaks with best selling author and top podcaster Kate Battistelli on life after kids leave home.Listen in for:How becoming an empty nester can be disorientingWhat God has for you in the next seasonHow to prepare for being an empty nesterFavorite Quotes:"If God called you to it, He will equip you; He has to." - Kate Battistelli "Motherhood is a season, it is a major part of your life, but not the only part, it is half your life." - Kate Battistelli"There is the empty nest and the empty next." - Kate BattistelliFind out all the things that Kate Battistelli is doing and her new book, "The After Party of the Empty Nest; Mom is Not Your Only Name" here: https://katebattistelli.com/✨ If you're looking for perfectly polished people or podcasts, this might not be for you.

I'm thrilled to have author Kate Battistelli joining me to talk about her brand-new book: The After Party of the Empty Nest: Mom Is Not Your Only Name. If you're in a season where the kids are grown and gone, and you're wondering what's next... If you feel like you've lost a part of your identity now that motherhood looks different… Or if you're sensing God is calling you to more, but you're not sure where to start... This episode is for YOU. Kate shares so honestly about the grief, loneliness, and confusion she felt when her only daughter left home—and how God used that season to awaken a brand new purpose in her life. We talk about: Why the empty nest can feel so hard—and why you don't have to stay stuck in it The lies women believe in midlife (like "I'm too late" or "I'm not enough") How volunteering, dreaming again, and saying “yes” to God can open new doors Why it's okay not to have it all figured out—and how obedience always matters more than perfection Kate's story is full of hope, laughter, and real-life encouragement. Whether you're already in the empty nest or you see it coming, I promise this conversation will remind you that God isn't finished with you yet. There's so much more ahead.

In today's episode, I am chatting with my friend, Kate Battistelli, author of The After Party of the Empty Nest. Kate shares her inspiring journey of faith, obedience, and the unexpected joys that come in the later seasons of life. With a background in Broadway and a career in the arts, Kate's life was turned upside down when God called her to lay down her dreams and step into a new season of family and ministry.After navigating personal challenges, including having an abortion at 18 and an unexpected season of infertility, Kate found a renewed sense of purpose. Now, in her book, The After Party of the Empty Nest, Kate helps guide women through the emotional journey of the empty nest and what it means to rediscover purpose in this next season.Key Takeaways: 1. Obedience Over Comfort – Kate shares her journey of surrendering her career in the arts to pursue a calling from God. When you listen for His voice and obey, God honors that obedience, leading you into new seasons of blessing and purpose. 2. Embrace the Empty Nest – The empty nest doesn't have to feel like the end of your purpose. Instead, it can be the beginning of a new chapter, filled with opportunities for growth, travel, hobbies, and connection. 3. The Power of Gratitude – Whether you're facing infertility, anxiety, or relationship struggles, learning to be grateful in the midst of hardship allows you to see God's purpose and blessings, even in the toughest moments.Kate's story is a powerful reminder that even in the most unexpected seasons of life, God's plan for us is full of purpose and promise. She demonstrates how God can take our most difficult moments and turn them into a foundation for new beginnings. Her story encourages us to listen for God's voice, trust in His timing, and step into the fullness of what He has for us in every season. If you're in a transition or looking for guidance in your next chapter, Kate's message is a beacon of hope and inspiration. Remember, the best is yet to come.Bio:Kate Battistelli is the author of The After Party of the Empty Nest: Mom is Not Your Only Name, the bestseller, The God Dare: Will You Choose to Believe the Impossible, and Growing Great Kids: Partner with God to Cultivate His Purpose in Your Child's Life.

Kate Battistelli was a burgeoning Broadway star playing opposite the great Yul Brynner in The King and I - thinking she was on a trajectory to win a coveted Tony award. God had other plans!

This was the first of many “God dares” Kate has embraced in her life.

A prayer based on Ecclesiastes 10:4. "If your boss is angry at you, don't quit. A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes." Ecclesiastes 10:4 Have you ever had one of those relationships? The ones in which you find it impossible to please the other person, no matter what you do? It can be difficult and demoralizing, but it's survivable if you use wisdom. Sometimes the best recourse is to keep your head down and let it just roll off your back. Do you have any relationships like this? How can you use wisdom to honor God even in those hard relationships? Listen to today's podcast episode from Kate Battistelli.   Would you like to have today's episode in written form?

Atmosphere has little to do with how you decorate ... and more about creating tranquility that is welcoming to our family and visitors alike.  We can foster this kind of "sanctuary living" in an imperfect world by adapting hygge (the Danish quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that results in a feeling of contentment or well-being) to Christian living.Listen today as Jamie Erickson, podcast host of The Mom to Mom podcast, blogger at The Unlikely Homeschool and author of "Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow" shares wisdom on how we can use the seven tenets of hygge to create sanctuary-like homes that mirror and reflect the perfection that we see in the Garden and then later also in the life of Jesus.Resources and Links:Find Jamie Erickson on her website, www.jamieerickson.comFacebook, The Unlikely HomeschoolInstagram, The Unlikely Homeschool Pinterest, TUHomeschoolJamie Erickson's book: "Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow"The Mom to Mom podcast (with Kate Battistelli and September McCarthy)The Unlikely Homeschool blog Be sure to subscribe to GOAT Homeschooling with Erin and Amanda wherever you listen to podcasts, and join us in continuing the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, or via email.Website: www.goathomeschoolingpodcast.comFacebook: @G.O.A.T.HomeschoolingInstagram: @goat_homeschooling_podcastPinterest: @goathomeschoolingpodcastEmail: goathomeschoolingpodcast@gmail.com

Are you curious about the lifestyle called hygge? According to co-host Jamie Erickson, the word comes from the British and Norwegian words for hug, and it's a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality from fostering a life of comfort, contentment and rest. In today's episode, Jamie discusses her newly released book, Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow, with Mom to Mom co-hosts, Kate Battistelli and September McCarthy. While the book breaks down each of the tenets of hygge and examines them in light of the Gospel, the ladies discuss what hygge is and how it can be a versatile tool in demonstrating the Gospel to the world as well as within our homes.

What is one “God dare” you've accepted in your life? My husband and I accepted the dare and moved across the U.S. Walking away from everything familiar (like Abraham) is one of the most difficult God Dares but, ultimately, one of the most rewarding.

Episode Summary: In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to jump out of our comfort zone, have faith and dare with God. My guest today, is Kate Battistelli, mother of DOVE and GRAMMY award-winning Christian recording artist Francesca Battistelli, and author of The God Dare. Quotables from the episode: A “God Dare” is always too big for us—we can’t do it on our own without God’s help. The impossible is God’s zone. A “God Dare” often makes no earthly sense. It’s only after the fact that we can look back and see the dots connected. God will equip you for whatever He calls you to. Scripture References: Hebrews 11:1 “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” Genesis 15:5-6 “Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, ‘Look up into the sky and count the starts if you can.

What dream has God given you? Maybe it was a long time ago, maybe you feel like you've missed your chance, or you feel like you don't have what it takes. But God has placed something in your heart and challenged you to live beyond yourself. You must only be willing to say yes. All throughout the Bible we see those who have gone before us accepting the challenge God has placed before them. These challenges are what author Kate Battistelli calls God Dares. On today's episode, Kate shares her story full of mistakes and victories in her career, motherhood, and in her spiritual life. As she grew in courage and obedience she was able to overcome the excuses she was using not to pursue the dream God has given her and now she is challenging us to do the same. Tune in to discover how to live out your own God Dare. We dare you to accept the challenge and live the life God has always intended for you!

This week on Real Talk with Rachael we’re talking with Kate Battistelli, author of The God Dare: Will You Choose to Believe the Impossible?. Kate Battistelli is living proof God can and will use anyone if they’re willing.  Kate experienced infertility, miscarriage, an abortion at age 18, and four failed adoption attempts, which all wreaked havoc on her life. Kate had a life-changing experience as a young actress in New York City, 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 and the Broadway theatre in answer to their first “God dare” and moved out of New York City and into a life of homeschooling and a home business. As their daughter Francesca grew and began expressing her gifts in music and songwriting, they realized there was a far bigger purpose in leaving their careers than they could’ve imagined. Kate is the mother of DOVE and GRAMMY award-winning Christian recording artist Francesca Battistelli.  She’s also one-third of the popular Mom to Mom Podcast. Kate is a natural encourager and believes in your ability to change the world. We're talking about: God often dares us to do something big, but we have to say yes. “Choose to be chosen to change the world.” It’s important that we listen to what’s God plan is for us and for our children. Don’t be afraid to dream big for your children. As in Titus 2, older women should be mentoring younger women. “It’s the small deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay.” Don’t forget to text the phrase “RealTalkGiveaway” to the number 44222 to be entered to win giveaways from show guests and sponsors!

What do you believe you are suppose to do that gives you butterflies? Or maybe it frightens you a bit because you think it's too big for you to accomplish? Or perhaps you think it's something that too insignificant so you've ignored it. Maybe it's your God Dare. In this episode I chat with mom and author of The God Dare Kate Battistelli to discuss her testimony and new book!

Walking out our purpose from God can be challenging when faced with hard circumstances and we can often wonder if we are truly hearing from God. God can still use us in the midst of whatever is happening around us and we can rest in the fact that He will be a provider with whatever we need to follow His promptings.  In this episode, guest Kate Battistelli shares tips for how we can live by faith and peace, not fear and panic, as we pursue our dreams and "dares" from God.

Kate Battistelli is an author, speaker, former actress/singer in the New York Broadway musical theatre world and mother of GRAMMY award-winning Contemporary Christian recording artist Francesca Battistelli. Kate is convinced God has a wild, preposterous, secret, scary or impossible dream just for you. It’s what she calls a God Dare, because she’s learned with God absolutely anything is possible. Many of my podcast guests I have only met online but Kate I actually met in person last fall while we were both attending the same conference. As we were finishing up our lunch one day we stumbled upon a conversation about something that I couldn’t shake afterwards. She shared with me about this piece that is often missing in our communities: older women pouring into younger ones. I immediately felt both the longing to be poured into and the conviction of the fact that I am an older women to others - who am I pouring into? We discuss this and what it looks like to take God up on what He calls us to, as scary and as out of the box as it may at times seem. I know you will be encouraged through this conversation! Check out Kate’s website, her latest book, The God Dare and her podcast, the Mom to Mom Podcast.

On today’s show, we talk with Kate Batistelli about raising our children to do amazing things for the glory of God. During the conversation, however, we turn our attention back to the moms…  and challenge ourselves to live life with a “Here I am, send me” availability to whatever God calls us to as well.
