Half Empty Nest, Now What?
Manage episode 376292448 series 2839095
EP 91: 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”
Looking forward to connecting with you! Here are some ways to connect with me!
