  • 69. Summer of Transition: Making Space for Change
    May 26 2025

    Are you facing a season of change? Whether you’re sending a child off to college, stepping into an empty nest, relocating, retiring, or simply feeling the nudge to shift direction—midlife is full of powerful transitions.

    In this heartfelt episode of Midlife Crescendo, Debbie shares personal reflections on why this summer is a time of transition for so many women and why she herself is taking a short pause from the podcast.

    You'll discover how to navigate midlife transitions with intention, grace, and even hope, while honoring the emotions that often come with major life changes.

    From retirement to reinvention, motherhood shifts to milestone birthdays (yes—Debbie is turning 60!), this conversation reminds you that change isn’t the end of something… it’s the beginning of something new.

    Plus, you’ll hear about a free resource to help you reflect, reimagine, and move forward in your own next chapter.

  • 68. Beauty in the Bittersweet-Jessica stone
    May 19 2025

    She started her novel in her 20s... but life, motherhood, and even a health crisis—including an 8-week coma—put her dream on hold. Now, at 49, Jessica Stone has released her debut novel, Beauty in the Bittersweet.

    In this episode, we talk about the power of second chances, the courage to pursue creative dreams later in life, and how to start again—no matter how much time has passed.

    ✨ If you’ve ever put a dream on the shelf, this conversation will inspire you to dust it off and take your next brave step.

    PLUS, I give a sneak peek of next week’s episode on navigating the Summer of Transition—from empty nests to midlife reinvention—and how you can join my free mastermind class to take action on your own dreams.

    🎧 Tune in and be reminded: it's never too late to begin again.

  • 67. Motherhood in Real Life: Digital Age Challenges, Living Abroad & Community
    May 12 2025

    In part 2 of this heartfelt Mother’s Day series, Debbie Cunningham continues her honest conversation with her daughter, Deanna Carter. Together, they explore the challenges and blessings of motherhood from two different life stages.

    In this episode, Deanna shares her experience raising young kids while living abroad for three years and opens up about the added pressure of parenting in the digital and social media age. They also dive into the importance of community whether you're navigating tantrums, teen years, or the transitions of the empty nest.

    If you're a midlife mom needing encouragement, or a young mom feeling overwhelmed, this is a gentle reminder that you’re not meant to do it alone.

    This episode is packed with real-life wisdom, faith, and hope for moms in every season.
