Ep 77: Lauren Johnson - Empty Nesting for Single Moms

Empty Nesting is a different experience for single moms, especially if she is the mother of a son. Whether it’s your clashing hormones, a son’s changing boundaries, his compulsion to leave the nest, or his inherent need for risk-taking and adventure, an empty nesting mom needs all the compassion, love, and support she can get.

Lauren Johnson worked as a career writer and communication expert for more than 20 years. She’s been a vice president of employee communications, a Hollywood workshop manager, a ghostwriter for best-selling books, and an author coach and editor in all genres. Lauren’s first try at writing her own book led to her being a winner in the Transformational Author Experience contest in 2015. Three years and several versions later, her book, Flying Lessons: A Single Mom’s Guide to Empty Nesting, won again in 2018. Now Lauren wants to use her story to support empty nesting moms as they experience this significant transition.

As a single mom, Lauren is passionate about our new possibility to be partners and parents with our adult sons. As a business owner, writer, speaker, and former property manager of the Stonecote Estate in Louisville, Kentucky, Lauren is devoted to helping middle-age women everywhere embrace their fabulous fifties to ensure they have sensational sixties and beyond. Lauren also uses her platform to be a champion for sons of all ages.
