What truly makes a place feel like home?

In this episode, I’m joined by Jean Stoffer and Grace Stoffer of The Established Home to discuss their children’s book, We Are Home When We’re Together, inspired by their families’ experiences with moving, transition, and the emotions that often accompany change.

Together, we explore how to help children navigate uncertainty with honesty, steadiness, and compassion. Jean shares what it was like leaving the Chicago area for Michigan to be closer to family, while Grace reflects on relocating her own family after an unexpected housing transition that ultimately inspired the heart of the book.

We discuss how home is often less about a physical space and more about the people we share life with, the importance of listening to children’s fears without dismissing them, and how faith, memory, and connection can help anchor families through seasons of change.
