In this throwback episode of the Listen Love Launch Podcast, I share my personal struggles with identity and mental health during the empty nest transition after my children graduated. I discuss the profound impact of rediscovering my self-worth and purpose in midlife, aided by a life coach and my friend Elise, which led me to the creation of the journal project and this podcast.

I detail how attending a conference and joining the Called Creatives community, reinvigorated my passion and direction.

I also found inspiration from Dawn Barton's "Midlife Battle Cry," and share

her 21 days of reflective prompts, where I learned the importance of balancing motherhood with personal happiness through self-care and recognizing our own needs.
