After years of a busy, full house with six kids, travel ball games, school events, and endless playdates, the house is now quiet. The once constant movement, noise, and daily chaos has slowed, and the shift to an empty nest brings a mix of emotions -- pride in raising independent adult children, but also the bittersweet quietness of a new season. In this conversation, we talk about adjusting to the stillness, rediscovering life after parenting, and embracing the new rhythm of an empty nest.

Join me and my guest, Brooke Hernandez, as we explore The Empty Nest.

Starting the conversation, why I'm here, and what this podcast is about.

For over 20 years, I have been a hair stylist. In those years, I have had many clients from all different walks of life. I have learned a lot about them and more importantly, about myself. At this time in my life, I want to give back to women and share what I have learned about living, about life, about myself, and about what matters to us.

This podcast is my way of sharing what is important, what is happening, and my thoughts. Each week, I hope to bring a new topic that is important to women to the forefront and have a conversation with my guests.

Join me on this journey. Hair We Go!
