You’ve spent years caring for everyone else.
Now, the house is quieter. The carpool is over. And suddenly… the question hits: What’s next for me?
From playdates to college drop-offs, your identity has been deeply rooted in motherhood. So, it’s no surprise that when your kids fly the nest, you might feel a little lost. But this isn’t the end of your story—it’s a turning point. And maybe? The best part is just beginning.
In this episode, we’re joined by Jodi Silverman, certified life coach and founder of Moms Who Dare, to talk about how to transform the empty nest experience from one of grief and disconnection to one of freedom, adventure, and rediscovery.
We’ll dive into:
- Letting go of guilt and self-doubt
- Reclaiming your identity in midlife
- Embracing this new season as an exciting opportunity for personal growth
Whether your nest is newly empty or you’re just feeling the shift, this episode will help you reframe the journey—and reignite your spark.

She’s the founder of the Moms Who Dare community and host of the Beyond Empty Nest podcast, where she helps thousands of women redefine midlife with boldness, passion, and joy.
