Ever feel like you have to tiptoe around someone’s moods or reactions? In this episode of Oma’s Musings, I’m talking about what to do when it feels like you’re walking on eggshells around someone you care about. From setting gentle boundaries to protecting your peace, I’ll share what I’ve learned and how faith helps me navigate these tricky relationships.

Welcome to Oma’s Musings, where we talk about the beauty—and the mess—of life in the retirement years. I’m Kathy: wife, mom, Oma, and now living in the slow lane after years of rushing through life.

This podcast is like sitting down with a friend for a cup of coffee and a good honest chat. We talk about decluttering and simplifying, sure—but also about what it means to live intentionally now that the kids are grown and the house is quieter (well… except for the barking dogs and squeaky toys).

I share real-life stories, unsolicited advice, and little lessons I’ve learned along the way about marriage, faith, boundaries, frugal living, and navigating this season with a little more peace and a lot less pressure.

Whether you’re a fellow retiree, an empty nester, or just someone craving a slower, simpler rhythm—you’re welcome here. And don’t worry if you’re not a person of faith—this space is always kind and never preachy.

Come on in. Let’s clear out the clutter and make room for what truly matters.
