#151 The Void: When You’ve Let Go but Don’t Know What’s Next

In this deeply personal episode, I share a journal entry I wrote just weeks before dropping my boys off at college, closing my business, grieving friendship shifts, and walking through the final days of my mother-in-law’s Alzheimer’s journey. This isn't a strategy session. It’s an honest reflection on what it feels like to let go of everything familiar—and face the silence that follows. I call it The Void—and if you’ve ever been there too, I hope this episode helps you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone. Whether you’re grieving a role, a relationship, or just sitting in a season of waiting, this conversation is for you.Key Takeaways:You’re not the only one feeling lost after the kids leave or the business endsLetting go isn’t failure—it’s often the first step of obedienceSometimes the hardest part isn’t what we lose—it’s the quiet space left behindYou can’t out-strategize surrender or hustle through heartbreakGod is still working—even when life feels foggy, slow, or silentThe daily things (walks, dishes, dinner) are sacredIt’s okay to just be here, to breathe, and to trust His timing Resources:Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/shellyniehaus/Simple Shifts Newsletter: https://midlifemadesimplepodcast.com/tipsWomen Entrepreneurs In Prayer Call - https://midlifemadesimplepodcast.com/prayer
