The launching stage of family life - as we empty the nest - brings both growth and grief. As kids step into independence, parents often face a quieter house, shifting family roles, and the ache of ambiguous loss - missing someone who is still “kind of here.” This episode explores how the ReFRAME model can help midlife women navigate these changes, reconnect with their identity, and find meaning in the swirl of transition. Drawing on Family Life Cycle Theory and the concept of ambiguous loss, it offers a guide to grounding, clarity, and peace in seasons of change.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
