The Flexible Neurotic

Half Empty Nest, Now What?


Listen Later

EP 91: Are you an “empty nester” or getting close? I am what I call a "half empty nester” with my oldest kid who just went to college ten days ago. Are you redefining your role as a mom in midlife? I sure am! Have 1 or more kids in college or out of the house? Are you a midlife mom looking for more meaning, purpose and connection? Perhaps feeling slightly irrelevant and/or invisible? Me too! Then this episode is for you! If you are experiencing the empty nest process yourself (or preparing to in the next little while) then I might have everything you need to tackle this new step in your life.

You’ll learn: 

  • About moving out of denial and into acceptance. Yes, you have a child that is old enough to graduate from high school and move out of the house
  • No, that doesn’t mean you’re irrelevant. Listen to find out why 
  • Expect the tears to come in the unexpected moments, you can’t plan for those emotions
  • Partial acceptance is a step in the right direction 
  • Navigating the stage of self pity
  • How I feel like I am in a “Jell-o State” & the “Ugh Hotel”
Let's Talk Midlife! My half empty nest breakdown led to me creating my first 3 day free live workshop called Let's Talk Midlife. It's September 19, 20 and 21st-one hour each day, live with me on Zoom10am-11am PST / 1pm-2pm EST.    Day 1: Kids are leaving, now what? Day 2: What’s next for me? Day 3: F*ck fear.   INTERESTED?
