In this episode of The Empty Nest Mom Podcast, Mandy and Jill open up about the heart-tugging season of Motherhood when children begin to leave home. Together, they share raw stories of navigating the quiet house, the mix of joy and guilt, and the profound emotional shift that comes with rediscovering who you are beyond being “Mom.”

They explore how self-care, intentional relationships, and chasing experiences over material possessions can help Moms step into this new phase with courage and joy. With honesty and encouragement, they remind us that it’s never too late to reconnect with your identity, nurture bonds with adult children, and give yourself permission to pursue dreams long set aside.
