Episode #17: Are you ready to embrace the empty nest with open arms and a full heart? Join us, Jen and Kelly, as we explore the thrilling adventure of finding ourselves anew in this liberating stage of life. Our journey takes us from a spirited family gathering in Palm Desert to serene road trips with our grown kids, leaving us both nostalgic and excited for the future. Inspired by Mel Robbins' "Let Them Theory," we discuss the transformative power of setting boundaries, abandoning old people-pleasing habits, and boldly stepping into our individuality. We'll share personal stories of growth, the joy of letting go of past identities, and how allowing our children their own paths can lead to profound personal freedom.

In our quest for personal development, we draw lessons from James Clear's "Atomic Habits," highlighting how small changes can lead to big rewards. Our chats reveal the humor and heart in exploring new activities like pickleball and golf, surprisingly delightful ways to connect with new friends. You'll hear about our endearing family moments and the excitement of cheering our kids on in their endeavors, including Elias's upcoming competition in Colorado. As we navigate the bittersweet transition to empty nesting, we're discovering new hobbies and sharing heartfelt tales from our adventures. Connect with us on social media for more stories and a good laugh as we revel in this exhilarating new chapter.
