EP 91: Are you an “empty nester” or getting close? I am what I call a "half empty nester” with my oldest kid who just went to college ten days ago. Are you redefining your role as a mom in midlife? I sure am! Have 1 or more kids in college or out of the house? Are you a midlife mom looking for more meaning, purpose and connection? Perhaps feeling slightly irrelevant and/or invisible? Me too! Then this episode is for you! If you are experiencing the empty nest process yourself (or preparing to in the next little while) then I might have everything you need to tackle this new step in your life. You’ll learn:  About moving out of denial and into acceptance. Yes, you have a child that is old enough to graduate from high school and move out of the house No, that doesn’t mean you’re irrelevant. Listen to find out why  Expect the tears to come in the unexpected moments, you can’t plan for those emotions Partial acceptance is a step in the right direction  Navigating the stage of self pity How I feel like I am in a “Jell-o State” & the “Ugh Hotel” Let's Talk Midlife! My half empty nest breakdown led to me creating my first 3 day free live workshop called Let's Talk Midlife. It's September 19, 20 and 21st-one hour each day, live with me on Zoom10am-11am PST / 1pm-2pm EST.    Day 1: Kids are leaving, now what? Day 2: What’s next for me? Day 3: F*ck fear.   INTERESTED?
