🎯 Key Takeaways

- Home is not just a physical space; it includes emotional connections, relationships, and a sense of safety and rest. People define home through individual experiences and their past.

- Confront and process personal “baggage” from past environments. Decide what to bring forward and what to release, as baggage impacts progress and new beginnings.

- Building new “anchors” for home takes time and intentionality. Focus on creating quality relationships and community in new places.

- Consider Christ as a constant foundation for home, a place to find belonging, trust, and safety when other definitions fail.

- “Leaving the nest” requires a courageous leap of faith. Prepare for discomfort, learn from both success and failure, and trust in a supportive network or a higher power.

- Finding a home once makes it easier to find another, building a toolkit for navigating new experiences and embracing an uncomfortable but growth-filled process.
