Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, When this episode goes live, I'll be in my car, traveling to see my daughter's senior art show, and then will bring her home for winter break a couple of days later. Honestly, when she headed off to campus, I did not have high expectations that her school would continue on-campus through Thanksgiving. It is nice to have a pleasant surprise in 2020 - one that...

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, This topic seems to be either a big part of your life or is a taboo topic in what I've witnessed. I haven't run into many humans in my age range that comfortably discuss divorce - except for a fab podcaster I mention in this episode. Even when a divorce doesn't personally impact someone, the discomfort is almost always visible when divorce is mentioned in a c...

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, Breaks benefit us. We know this. Why, then, is it incredibly difficult for us to take the time for ourselves? As mothers, we tend to be experts at not taking breaks. So much so that when we do have downtime, we may not be sure what to do with ourselves.  Hmm, a micro-level of the whole empty nest experience, isn't it?  It might be thirty minutes sitting in yo...

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, In this episode, I spill the beans on an embarrassing moment in my middle school years.

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, Have you experienced being peaceful and then having someone ask you, "what is wrong?" or said, "what is wrong with you; why are you upset?" It seems bizarre. But if your behavior is different from what others are used to, they are interpreting your change as not calm, while all the while, you are feeling an inner stillness. Let's let them be them, while you r...

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, Some years the unexpected is more the norm than the norm (whatever that means). The unexpected has a way of leveling us up, stretching us, and making us stronger. When we focus on a specific project or route for our lives, the unexpected may cause gut reactions such as, "Why have I been working on this project the whole time?" or "My work must have moved out...

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, Sometimes challenges - and opportunities - pop up in our life. What do you make them mean? I explore this in today's episode. 🗨 "Life isn't a one way, smooth sailing go-kart course, or street. It has detours. It has bumps. It has U-turns sometimes. Yes, sometimes we change course consciously, by making a decision, or we change our mind. But other times, life...

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, Intuition. What are your thoughts about it? I share mine in this episode. 🗨 "My theory is that much of a human's unsettledness, or restlessness, has more to do with not following their own intuition/guidance/GPS, than to do with the outside world. Internal peace is life changing, and then, you know how to take the next step. It's so worth the discomfort to di...

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, Fall 2020: some of our children's schools have plans for an on-campus return, and the campus won't be the campus our child(ren) left or visited.
