57 | Rediscovering Identity: Healing, Wholeness, and the Power of Your Story with | Erica Tatum

When the nest empties and the daily rhythms of motherhood shift, who are you beneath the roles you've played for years? Erica Tatum joins us for a soul-stirring conversation about rediscovering your authentic self after your children leave home.

With remarkable vulnerability, Erica shares her journey through the emotional landscape of empty nesting, a transition many women navigate silently. "I had to decide if this was going to be my ending season or the beginning of my new season," she reflects, capturing that pivotal moment when purpose seems suddenly unclear. Through her story, we explore how easily women lose themselves in caring for others, forgetting who they are outside their titles.

The heart of our discussion centers on reclaiming identity through spiritual reconnection. Erica beautifully articulates how turning to God's word helped her find confidence beyond others' expectations: "Once I found that and put that in my heart and my soul, everything else didn't matter if it was outside the will of God." This foundation becomes the cornerstone for creating safe spaces both for yourself and others, where authentic healing and growth flourish.

We tackle practical challenges, such as setting non-negotiable boundaries around sacred time, rediscovering activities that once brought joy, and evaluating which relationships truly nurture your growth and development. Erica's wisdom on giving yourself grace while celebrating each step forward offers liberation to anyone feeling guilty about prioritizing their own needs.

Whether you're approaching empty nesting, currently navigating it, or simply feeling lost in your roles, Erica's parting reminder resonates powerfully: "You were made on purpose for a purpose." Her book "New Beginnings" and empty-nest journal guide women through this transformative journey of rediscovery.
