Feeling lost now that the kids are gone? You're not alone! Today, I'm tackling your real questions and giving you practical tools to feel grounded and empowered in this next chapter.
Today, I answer listener questions about navigating the empty nest. So many of you are asking about losing their sense of purpose, finding a new identity, balancing involvement with adult children, feeling lost, reconnecting with a spouse, guilt about self-care, and rediscovering oneself. I emphasize that this phase is a beginning, not an end, and encourage you to embrace self-discovery.
Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode:
👉 Create a "curiosity calendar" to find new passions
👉 Shift from manager to mentor with adult kids
👉 Use the "Paired" app to spark conversations with your partner
👉 Prioritize small acts of self-care daily
👉 Reframe feeling "stuck" as an opportunity for self-discovery
👉 Don't wait until the kids are gone to enrich your life
