Our guest for today is lovely Tippy Clement de L’Epine shares some hilarious family stories on how to change your perception to create more joyfulness in life after your children fly the nest.
In all her endeavours, whether it be in her marriage, with her 3 children or with a stranger on a street in Paris… she always makes a stand for Love.
According to Tippy the only truth is Love, which is much needed to make our world a better place.
During this enlightening conversation which was initially going to be about rekindling your marriage, and we did discuss this and reached the conclusion that empty nesting should be rebranded to OPEN NESTING as an unmistakable opportunity to rediscover your Self.
Some of the topics discussed:
· What to do once all your children have left home
· Making your home into a place of joy, love and light
· How she decided to renew her wedding and personal vows while walking the Camino de Santiago
· The need to recalibrate your relationship with your partner
· Passing through the weirdness now that the children aren’t the centre of attention
· Rekindle small acts of kindness in the mundane
· Cultivating a consciousness of Love, high frequency and greater presence
· Go where there’s resistance and discovering new ways to express oneself
· Developing non-verbal communication, heart centeredness to avoid miscommunication
· Shift in perception regarding those uncomfortable silences into opportunities of being present, receptive and open
· Cultivating presence in the emptiness
· Good intentions lead to better outcomes
· The importance of self-care giving yourself some “me time” and seeing it as an investment for the family and not a selfish act
· Making time for a spiritual practice, cultivate self to grow as a person and reinventing yourself for your new chapter in life
· Keeping your sense of humour, connecting with your inner child, making time for adult fun
· The importance of strengthening your emotional and spiritual fitness
· Discovering your true authentic Self and exploring new ways of expressing ones’ Self
· Making time to have fun with your adult children, cultivating a new relationship with them…
Regular listeners will know that one of my favourite questions is to ask is "if you had a bill board, what would it say?".
I didn't ask, yet from our discussion it would clearly say “I’m a lovist, not a terrorist”.
And this pretty much sums it all up.
