As a single mom, the day my son left for boarding school hit me harder than I expected. 

The house felt eerily quiet, and the emptiness was overwhelming. I was grappling with empty nest syndrome, a heartache that many parents face but seldom discuss.

I realized I wasn't alone when a close friend confided in me about her struggle with her child starting a new chapter. It's a bittersweet transition, watching our children grow up and gain independence. 

In today’s episode, I share not just these struggles but also the strategies and insights that helped me navigate this challenging transition. From engaging in new hobbies and focusing on personal growth to understanding the normalcy of these feelings, I offer support and advice for other parents in the same boat.

You’ll learn the importance of staying connected with our grown children, even when they're not living under our roof, and the necessity of self care for parents. 

I offer advice and strategies for coping and embracing this phase as a time for rediscovery. Join me as I guide you through the process of finding joy and purpose in this new stage of life.

XO,

Michelle
