Hello and welcome to the um...life podcast.

I'm Krissi Marie! Welcome back for our 2026 season of the um life podcast - this week we are exploring the theme - the empty space after they leave (and how to fill it). This episode is intended to be of assistance to both those navigating shared care responsibilities meaning the kids aren't home, and those who may have older kids flying the coup.

Hello and welcome to the um...life podcast.

I'm Krissi Marie. This week I screech - "ignoring problems is not mindfulness, it's dissociation*!"

*I am not a mental health professional and do not profess to be. I always encourage listeners to speak with their Doctor and/or mental health professional if there is anything you might be needing to discuss. The reference to dissociation is not in any way a diagnosis or to be used as a diagnostic tool.

As always, thank you to all of our amazing listeners from all around the world!
