Life After Launch: Tools for coping with the empty nest, navigating midlife transitions, and parenting adult children.

How to Start Over After the Kids Leave:A 30-Day Emotional Reset and Personal Growth Workbook for Empty Nesters


Listen Later

Some mornings, the silence hits differently. You wake up, wander into a quiet kitchen, and there’s no one to remind about practice or to ask if they did their homework. After years of pouring into everyone else, the stillness that follows can feel jarring. As an empty nester, it’s easy to wonder: where do I begin now? 

In this episode, I walk you through the personal story behind the workbook, why I built it, and how it’s become a lifeline for so many women navigating the same season. I created The Empty Nest Reset because I needed something more than comforting words… I needed structure, clarity, and guidance. This season asked me to rediscover what life could look like on my own terms and to reclaim your life with purpose after such a major identity shift.

You’ll hear what I went through when the routines stopped, how I found myself spiraling, and the transition planning that helped me climb out of it. I’m sharing real tools: the exact daily prompts I used, the mindset shifts that stuck, and the emotional patterns I had to unlearn. This is where your emotional reset begins through acknowledging the grief and learning to move with it.

We will talk about:

  • The moment I realized I had no roadmap for life after launch day
  • How the MOVE method helps you shift from control to connection
  • The emotional and relational cost of staying stuck in “fixer mode”
  • The practical way to start showing up for yourself again
  • Why emotional healing needs to happen before reinvention
  • A gentle invitation to reconnect with your spouse without pressure

This episode is for the woman standing in that in-between space: ready for self-discovery, but unsure how to take the first step in this new chapter in life. Let this be your next small, intentional step toward personal growth.

To the strength in starting again,

Allison
