EP 96: Are you realizing that your role as a mother is changing? Are you going from “manager mom” to “consultant mom”? Feel like you have extra time on your hands now that your kids are older and/or moving out of the “nest”? You aren’t sure what to do with it (bored and wanting ideas for a midlife refresh)? Want to hear how other woman in the same situation are feeling in this situation? Ready to scratch the midlife “itchies” that are coming up from kids heading to college, getting jobs and/or moving out of the house? Ready for your midlife to kick into full gear? I am! Then this episode is definitely for you!

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken in a new episode that I pulled from day 1 of my free workshop “It’s Time To Talk Midlife”. I shared “day 3” with you already and I couldn’t let you miss out on day 1 because it was just that good. I kept getting amazing feedback and a billion messages, so I decided to make each day a separate episode. The first day was all about becoming an empty nester, or even ½ empty nester like me. The kids are leaving/ left the house… My role as a mother is changing… now what?! I’m here to remind you that you are not alone in this. After this episode you will walk away with, “Oh shit, I never thought of that” moments, as well as 10 golden nuggets to leave you feeling positive and inspired as you conquer this time in your life.

If you haven’t listened to “Day 3” yet, go back to episode 94 called “How To Say FCK to Fear In Midlife”!

Please note that this episode was recorded prior to the Hamas Massacre in Israel. Now we are sending love and light to the families of the mothers killed and to the moms who lost kids to horrific murders or kids who remain hostages in Israel. This is a different kind of empty nest. It’s unimaginable and real.

Some Highlights:

  • Congratulations you raised a kid that can survive outside the home
  • Am I a “consultant mom” now? What does that even mean?
  • The college application process is so unpredictable
  • Reframing “empty nest”
  • Time to do all the things you’ve ever wanted to do. Nothing is off limits, even sex in the kitchen
  • Creating a space the kids want to come home to
  • Everyday is different, some days are we are in PJs until 3 PM
  • It’s our midlife time to rewrite our stories

Looking forward to connecting with you! Here are some ways to connect with me!
