Are you gearing up for your very first Empty Nest Christmas? Or perhaps you’re a seasoned Empty Nester who is looking for fresh, new ideas that will help you make the most of this holiday season?

When we experienced our first Christmas as Empty Nesters, it was jarring—we had to work through all sorts of conflicting emotions. We felt the freedom of being able to do whatever we wanted, but this was mixed with the sadness of not gathering with all our children and their families.

Now that we have a few Empty Nest Christmases under our belts, we wanted to share what we’ve learned, how we’ve grown, and the key principles you can use to navigate your next Empty Nest Christmas with grace and confidence.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Various emotions you may encounter and how to deal with them
• Touching stories from fellow listeners
• What to let go of vs. what to hold on to
• And much more!

We hope this conversation is helpful as you set new traditions for your family!
