If you’ve got a senior about to graduate and the reality of an empty nest is starting to sink in, this episode is for you. I sat down with Dana Manley and Ashley Meece, two amazing neighborhood moms—both of whom recently became empty nesters—and to my surprise, they’re loving this new season of life. From spontaneous travel to rediscovering old passions, they’re proof that there’s a lot to look forward to once the kids leave home.

We talk about the emotions leading up to the transition, the surprising upsides, and how this shift can actually be the start of something wonderful. If you're feeling a little nervous about what's next, don’t miss this episode—it’s full of wisdom, laughter, and honest encouragement every mom needs to hear.
