Children left home? Feeling a sense of redundancy in your life? This episode has you covered! It's all about navigating empty nest syndrome while learning to embrace change and accept a new phase for self-rediscovery.

In this episode, your host Mary opens Season Two by discussing her personal experiences with empty nest syndrome, particularly after her daughter's recent move to university. She offers insights drawn from her emotional journey and shares strategies to cope with these feelings, such as focusing on self-care, rediscovering old passions, planning for the future, and building a strong support network.

The episode is designed to provide comfort and guidance to those experiencing similar life transitions, fostering conversations about the often-overlapping phases of empty nest syndrome and menopause.

Mary invites listeners to join her Facebook group to connect with others and build a network of support.

Take your menopause mastery to a whole new level. Mary's exclusive online, self-paced learning program has launched. Check out her digital course, Menopause Intelligence, a transformative path of discovery where confusion, overwhelm, and frustration give way to empowerment, knowledge, and agency.
