You've Launched Them Successfully, Now What?

As a mom who’s poured my heart and soul into raising my kids, I know firsthand how challenging it is when they leave home. This episode is my honest reflection on the identity shift that comes with launching your children into the world. I share my own experiences—like the strange feeling of grocery shopping without my daughter and the anxiety of not knowing exactly where she is. I talk about the emotional roller coaster, the pressure society puts on mothers, and the importance of redefining who I am beyond motherhood. I encourage other moms to reconnect with their dreams, explore new hobbies, and have open conversations with their partners. Most importantly, I remind myself and my listeners that we’re always our children’s home base, but we deserve to thrive too. This new chapter is about rediscovering joy, embracing change, and giving ourselves permission to grow. Ready to Find your Purpose Again? Sign up for ⁠Scottie's Burnout to Badass Program.
