In this heartfelt episode, Amy Grace is joined by Elaine Brye—mother of four military officers and author of Be Safe, Love Mom. Elaine shares her deeply personal and powerful journey of motherhood: from raising resilient farm kids to launching each of them into military service during a time of war. Her wisdom about letting go, navigating fear, and supporting your kids through every season is a gift to every mother. Whether you're raising toddlers, preparing to launch your teen, or supporting adult children in high-stakes careers, Elaine’s insights will inspire and steady your heart. She also shares practical tools, emotional strategies, and why building your own “toolkit” is key to staying strong on the home front.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Letting go is one of the hardest and most sacred parts of motherhood—but it’s necessary for our kids to thrive.

Our job is not to hold on forever, but to raise confident, capable adults and cheer them on as they fly.

It’s important to differentiate between our dreams for our children and their own.

Military parenting comes with unique challenges—fear, distance, and a need to be “strong on the home front.”

Every mom should have two toolkits: one for daily life and one for emergencies.

Self-discovery and personal joy are essential as kids grow and launch.

🔑 Key Quotes:

“You’re not in the backseat anymore—you’re out of the car. Your role changes when your kids become adults.” – Elaine Brye

“I always wanted to be the force that helped my kids go after their dreams, not the one that held them back.” – Elaine Brye

“Letting go isn’t passive. It’s one of the most active and courageous things a mother can do.” – Amy Grace

“You need two toolkits: one for the daily grind and one for when the fear is overwhelming.” – Elaine Brye

“The whole point of parenting is to raise adults. And when you get to watch your child become the person they were meant to be—there’s nothing like it.” – Amy Grace

Elaine Lowry Brye is the proud mom of four military officers—one each in the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines. A lifelong military daughter, wife, and mom, Elaine has become a trusted voice for parents navigating life on the home front. Her book, Be Safe, Love Mom, shares heartfelt stories and wisdom to support military families through the ups and downs of service life. Elaine has taught in Afghanistan, introduced Michelle Obama at the 2012 DNC, and remains a passionate advocate for military families everywhere—offering strength, support, and the reminder that no military parent walks this road alone.
