Extended Summary: 

In this deeply moving conclusion to our three-part conversation with Carmen Curtis — world-renowned aerialist, founder of AIReal Yoga™, and devoted mother — we explore the emotional journey of letting go as our children leave home. Carmen opens up about the realities of empty nest syndrome, describing it as “like losing a limb,” and shares how her practice became a lifeline through that transition. Together, we talk about grief, identity, and the rediscovery of self that follows motherhood’s most tender shift. Through AIReal Yoga™, Carmen helps others find grounding, healing, and a sense of being held again — emotionally, physically, and spiritually. This conversation is for every mother learning to loosen her grip, trust the next chapter, and remember that love never leaves — it simply evolves. 💫
