About this episode
Should we stay or should we go? In this episode, Jason and Emily wrestle with the big question so many families face: do you settle into the home and life you already have, or do you uproot everything in pursuit of something “better”? It’s the tension between being grateful and content where you are, while also dreaming about more space, a different town, or a new chapter. Join us as we talk about the pros, cons, and deeper heart questions behind making (or not making) a big move.
