Ep. 221 What happens when the kids move out and the silence gets loud?
For many single mothers, becoming an empty nester is more than a milestone—it’s a full identity shift.

In this heartfelt episode of HealingHer Within, host Maryann Rivera-Dannert answers the call from listeners asking: “Who am I now… and what’s next for my life?”

Drawing from her own journey, Maryann guides single empty nesters through the emotional, mental, and lifestyle transition of stepping into a new season with confidence and joy—not loneliness or regret. She shares real strategies to:

✅ Rediscover passions and interests that took a back seat
✅ Build community so the silence doesn’t become isolation
✅ Protect your peace, identity, and future with updated documents
✅ Boost confidence through safety, self-care, and personal transformation
✅ Shift your mindset from loss to opportunity, and from obligation to freedom
