Your Empty Nest Coach Podcast

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend! Anne (my guest) and I touched on this in my last episode - how to be the emotional adult in the room. College is a significant change - and when they go far enough away that they can't stop by for dinner - it is a REALLY SIGNIFICANT change. You can handle it. I know you can. Take some deep breaths, do some thought work and you've got this. Don't forget to subscribe, rate and review this podcast!
