Looking For The Light, She Quit True Crime Now- Part 1
She used to sit in the bathtub every night listening to true crime, just to fill the silence in a house that had gone quiet way too fast. She'd moved to a brand new state while her daughter was still in high school, and about a year and a half later, that daughter graduated and left for good. Six months into feeling completely lost, something cracked open that she never saw coming.
If you've ever asked yourself who am I now that the kids are gone, or wondered if it's too late to go back to a dream you buried years ago, this conversation is for you.
My guest today is Holly Worthington, a grandma of five, an empty nester, and the host of The Miracle Files, a true crime alternative built on hope instead of fear. We talk about what it actually feels like to lose your sense of purpose and identity when your role as mom shifts overnight, the isolation of being new to a place while your whole support system is suddenly states away, and the exact sentence from her grandmother that pulled her out of true crime and into a brand new chapter.
We also get into the dream she gave up on as a kid, the guilt so many women in this season carry around still needing to be needed, and how she finally learned to build a life that's hers without abandoning the people she loves.
If you're in the empty nest season, feeling stuck in that who am I now identity shift, or just trying to figure out your next chapter after years of putting everyone else first, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
