Redefining Midlife with Jo Clark

12. When the Empty Nest is No Longer Empty with Kerri Robertson


Listen Later

At 42, Kerri Robertson was walking her dog in the park one morning when she suffered a heart attack. The event completely changed her life outlook and that of her 3 children and husband, now learning and living “you’re here for a good time not a long time!”. In this episode of the Redefining Midlife Podcast Jo is joined with self described ambivert Kerri Robertson and her beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Luna who you can hear panting in the background. Jo and Kerri discuss:

  • Going back to university with 3 young children to pursue a passion since childhood.
  • Downsizing to apartment living and the emotional adjustment of becoming empty nesters for a while until the unexpected takes you back to parenting in a completely different direction.
  • When maternal instincts kick in and how we never stop parenting even after our children are no longer living with us.
  • Stumbling across a passion for fashion and open to the possibility of a business evolving in your 50s (even when we don’t know exactly what that looks like yet).
  • Kerri’s character and personality illuminates through this episode, right alongside her wonderful dog as well. To follow Kerri’s creative endeavours and collaborations you can find her on instagram @heres_to_you_mrsrobertson.
