HALF EMPTY NEST, WHAT NOW?

Show Notes

Are you an “empty nester” or getting close? I am what I call a "Half Empty Nester” with my oldest kid who just went to college ten days ago. Are you redefining your role as a mom in midlife? I sure am! Have 1 or more kids in college or out of the house? Are you a midlife mom looking for more meaning, purpose and connection? Perhaps feeling slightly irrelevant and/or invisible? Me too! Then this episode is for you! If you are experiencing the empty nest process yourself (or preparing to in the next little while) then I might have everything you need to tackle this new step in your life.

You’ll learn:

About moving out of denial and into acceptance. Yes, you have a child that is old enough to graduate from high school and move out of the house
No, that doesn’t mean you’re irrelevant. Listen to find out why
Expect the tears to come in the unexpected moments, you can’t plan for those emotions
Partial acceptance is a step in the right direction
Navigating the stage of self pity
How I feel like I am in a “Jell-o State” & the “Ugh Hotel”

There are three things you can do, first is subscribe to this podcast. Second, is share it with some friends who like midlife shit and third, write an apple review. Writing reviews is kinda annoying, an extra step, but guess what it really helps the podcast grow….you think your little review won’t matter it does…. If you went to a show and everyone said my clap doesn’t matter, then there would be no clapping. You all matter.
