The Girlfriend's Guide to an Empty Nest

20. Getting Back to YOU


Listen Later

We chat on this podcast about guiding our kids through transition seasons but it’s not all about your kids. And we sometimes lose sight of that, with all the daily responsibilities that come with parenting. But once your kids are launched, there are some big questions to answer like: who am I outside of being their mom?


We talk today:

  1. How to shift your calling

  2. Mourning the loss of being a mom as part of your identity 

  3. Why it’s healthy to invest in yourself for the sake of your relationships

  4. The wisdom of being selfish (we give you permission, girlfriend!)

  5. Practical tips to learn how to get back to you

  6. The danger of using hobbies to numb

  7. The power of examining your tears

  8. Simple but powerhouse questions to ask to get to know yourself and what you value
