The Momentum Podcast

Momentum in Motherhood, Midlife & Messy Middles

Molly Smith & Lena Khais Season 1 Episode 8

This episode isn’t just about motherhood—it’s about what happens when every part of your life starts to shift at once. Kids growing up and coming home, careers pivoting, old roles fading, new ones not fully formed yet… and you’re standing in the middle, wondering, Who am I now?

Molly opens up about watching her youngest son graduate and the emotional shift that comes with loosening your grip and trusting what’s next—for him and for herself. Lena shares what it’s like having her son home from college—how being in a familiar environment with a new dynamic is showing up in unexpected ways, including her work.

This conversation is about the space between chapters—and the invitation to evolve with your life, instead of resisting it. It’s about surrendering control, staying open, and learning to move forward even when it feels uncertain or unfamiliar.

Because momentum in this season? It might look less like a sprint and more like an intentional, soul-led walk forward.
