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

My Husband’s Side of the Story


Listen Later

Ever wonder what your partner is really thinking about the kids leaving home? What if you could get inside his head and hear the unspoken fears, the surprising joys, and the honest truth about what this new chapter means for your marriage? Well, today in a special episode, I’m sitting down with my husband, Joel, for a raw and honest conversation about his experience as an empty nester. 


We’re pulling back the curtain on what it’s like from a husband's perspective, the loneliness he felt, the concerns he had for me, and how our relationship has transformed since the kids left the nest. This episode is for anyone dealing with the quiet house, changing identities, and the amazing chance to rediscover love with your partner.

"When you have that time, I think there can be a loneliness, a sadness, a boredom, whatever that comes along with just what do I do with my day, what's my purpose?" 


In this episode, I share:

👉 A husband’s perspective on the empty nest 

👉 The initial loneliness and adjustment period 

👉 Fears about the marriage post-kids

👉 How fatherhood changes after children leave 

👉 Recommitting to the marriage and partnership 

👉 Moving houses to start a new chapter
