Years of saying hello and goodbye---and Letting Go....It does get easier, or maybe more familiar. We all love to watch our kids grow and we all love to watch them evolve and change, but none of this can happen if you don't Let them go. Allow yourself to watch the amazing humans you raised discover themselves as young adults and in the meantime, GO DISCOVER YOU.

Becoming an empty nester can be a transformative and enriching phase of life. After years of raising children, you now have the opportunity to rediscover yourself and explore new passions. 

Picture this: a home that reflects your style, a schedule that’s entirely your own, and the freedom to travel, learn, or pick up hobbies you've always wanted to try.

This transition allows for deeper relationships with your friends and family. It's also a time to reflect on your achievements as a parent and embrace the new dynamics of your relationships with your adult children.

Instead of viewing it as a loss, see it as a new beginning—a chance to invest in yourself, create new memories, and enjoy the quiet moments. Being an empty nester opens doors to possibilities you may have set aside, making this chapter one of growth, adventure, and fulfillment.

Getting to know yourself and understanding who you really are is a very personal and life-changing journey of discovering yourself. It involves exploring the depths of your being and uncovering your values, beliefs, passions, strengths, and weaknesses. By really getting to know your identity, you can lead a truer, more meaningful, and more satisfying life.

Survivor's guilt--a response to an event in which someone experienced loss but you did not---seems to be alive and well in the Asheville area after the remnants of Hurricane Helene unleashed floodwaters where lives were lost, homes were lost and all of our lives were turned upside down. Finding meaning providing support, and volunteering are all ways one can help especially when feeling this way. Becky, Liz, and Mel share their personal experience with the hurricane and living in the aftermath.

Becky discusses breaking patterns.

In simplest terms, we’re prone to repeating unhealthy relationships, careers, and friendship patterns, whether we know we’re doing so or not.

As such, we end up in a holding pattern that we need to break free from unless we want to keep whirling in circles forever.
