Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

I had another topic scheduled for today, but with my clients, friends, and colleagues struggling with figuring out their fall season this year due to school changes, I sat down in front of the mic to share some unscripted thoughts with you. Forgive the rabbit trails. 🐰

My friend, please know that while the next few months look like a hot mess, you can handle it.

Here are some thoughts to try on. Adjust as needed. 💚

• "This isn't what we planned at all, but we will figure out how to make it work, and I'll be patient with myself as I navigate the journey forward."
• "This isn't what we planned. I'm not sure what the future looks like, but I can figure out my next best step at this moment - even if it is to stare at the wall to calm my brain."

Let's be real. Sometimes this is needed.

• "Online again: Well, I know what didn't work last time around. How can I change those areas?"
• "Online again: I can adapt in ways that I couldn't imagine a year ago. This won't look the way I had planned, and that's okay."

🗨 "Be there for your children. All of the thoughts and anxiety that you have (about our current situation) they feel that - and they have their own. So I encourage you to get to know them no matter their age - what's going on in their mind?" This episode's full transcript is available on my website.
