Love Is Us: Exploring Relationships and How We Connect

#70: Who am I? Identity in the Empty Nest


Listen Later

If you're struggling with the transition of becoming an empty-nester, you're not alone. In the coming months I'll be publishing episodes about the empty nest and how to navigate this life transition. It's a big change! In addition to adjusting to a quiet home, getting reacquainted with a partner we no longer feel close to, or worrying about your kids, you might feel downright lonely without them around. You might also feel depressed and/or anxious about this change and feel like your life suddenly doesn't have the meaning or purpose it once had. But you don't have to do this alone.

Today I'm going to address the topic of identity. Who are you if you're no longer a mom (or a dad)? Why is it so hard to lose this identity, and what can be done about it? Stay tuned for more episodes about the empty nest.

If you're a mom who would like to join my Women Empty Nesters group, you can find more information about it below. Our first meeting is schedule for Tuesday, August 6, 2024:
