87. From Empty Nest to What’s Next: Rebuilding Community and Identity


Listen Later

What happens when the community we built through our kids starts to fade? After years of bonding with other parents on sports sidelines, at school events, and in group texts, many women in midlife find themselves navigating a quiet but powerful shift—in friendships, identity, and purpose. 

In this episode, I share how my own shift from new motherhood to empty-nester-in-progress revealed just how temporary some of those connections can be. And how that loss often shows up right when we’re craving more meaning—in our relationships, in our work, and in our identity beyond “Mom.”

That’s why I’m reaching out to you. I’m exploring the idea of creating a space for midlife women navigating this transition—community, career support, personal growth… maybe even a retreat. But before I build it, I want to listen.

If you’re in this season too, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Join me for a 30-minute market research conversation, and receive a free 1:1 coaching session in return.
