Goodbye

🎙 GOODBYE

🧩 WHO’S THERE? 🚪

Every knock carries a moment… a decision… a person… or a goodbye we didn’t see coming.
This season is about answering the door before it’s too late.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION:

What is so good about goodbye?

The word itself didn’t start the way we use it today. Back in the late 1500s, “goodbye” was actually a blessing short for “God be with you.” Over time, it softened, shifted, and lost its original weight… but maybe it wasn’t supposed to.

Because when you really think about it… Goodbye isn’t just a word.
It’s a moment.

This week, I’m joined by Kelly Weaver, and her story brings that truth front and center. She has stood at the edge of life—on death’s doorstep and come back. After walking through ovarian cancer, widowhood, raising a daughter with autism as a single parent, and a life-altering illness, Kelly understands something most of us try to avoid:

We don’t always get to choose when the last goodbye happens.

Now, as an identity life coach, she helps high-achieving women over 50 rediscover who they are after retirement and major life transitions. But what she really offers is deeper than that clarity, perspective, and a reminder that life doesn’t end… it evolves.

This conversation isn’t just about endings…
It’s about being ready for them.

💭 FINAL THOUGHT:

Inspired by The Breath You Take by George Strait…

Life isn’t just about breathing in and out.
It’s about the moments that take your breath away.

So here’s the question…

If today were the moment, would your goodbye say everything it needs to? 🚪
