Hello, my amazing friend. 👋
I'm wrapping up 2021 with an announcement or two. I'll be busy with the C.E.O. Training Team to Empty Nest Success membership, curating content from these 155 episodes, creating videos for TikTok, and other things over the next six months. I will be back after June with a podcast series or two.
All the details are in this episode. Thank you for listening. I appreciate you!!
💬 "So, my question to you now is why in the world do we spend so much energy protecting our physical world, while the majority of us - we don’t spend more than ten-seconds learning how to care for and protect our thoughts? Ugh. It pains me. it pains me!"

154: How To Disentangle Through Divorce In The Empty Nest
Hello, my amazing friend. 👋
I almost didn't publish this one.
However, it has given me a bit of closure, and if it helps one person, it is worth sharing. 💚
In this episode, I share some of my personal journey as my husband and I transition toward divorce. I also share things that have helped me - and much more.
"My wish for you today is that you discover, or rediscover, something about yourself that you love."

144: College Graduation Thoughts from a Mom & Plan Your Week Ahead 💚
Hello, my amazing friend!
🗨 "It is really important to understand that in the empty nest adjustment, for most of us, there isn’t a switch that flips that designates when the empty nest happens. It can be a transition that takes months or years - sometimes decades - where we’re navigating our babies becoming independent adults and moving permanently out on their own. Some never reach that. The back and forth, the emotions that arise each time aren’t to be ignored, my friend. They deserve recognition and processing because each stage of this transition is progress - for you and for them. Remember to enjoy the journey, my friend."

121: A Motherhood Memory Book and The Rest of 2020
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
When this episode goes live, I'll be in my car, traveling to see my daughter's senior art show, and then will bring her home for winter break a couple of days later. Honestly, when she headed off to campus, I did not have high expectations that her school would continue on-campus through Thanksgiving. It is nice to have a pleasant surprise in 2020 - one that requires no major thought work.
In this episode, I mention the idea of a motherhood memory book and share my podcast plans for the remainder of 2020.
Be sure to subscribe to my podcast in your favorite podcast player, if you haven't already, as that is the best way to be notified of new episodes.
I have a feeling I'll be most active on TikTok and then Instagram over the holidays, so I also invite you to follow me there.

119: Let's Talk About Divorce in the Empty Nest Does the Empty Nest Cause Divorce?
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
This topic seems to be either a big part of your life or is a taboo topic in what I've witnessed. I haven't run into many humans in my age range that comfortably discuss divorce - except for a fab podcaster I mention in this episode. Even when a divorce doesn't personally impact someone, the discomfort is almost always visible when divorce is mentioned in a conversation.
Somehow, this is surprising in 2020, despite the level of surprises in 2020.
Divorce is a word. We choose how much power we allow the WORD to have in our life. If you are in the process of a divorce, outside of the financial and legal implications (I can't speak to those), you do have the opportunity to move forward in a way that will serve you well - or not.

118: The Benefit of Taking Time Off - Listener Requested ⚠
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Breaks benefit us. We know this.
Why, then, is it incredibly difficult for us to take the time for ourselves? As mothers, we tend to be experts at not taking breaks. So much so that when we do have downtime, we may not be sure what to do with ourselves.
Hmm, a micro-level of the whole empty nest experience, isn't it?
It might be thirty minutes sitting in your car in your driveway or a parking lot with your favorite music, or it might be more than that. Find something that will rejuvenate you in some way, and do it.
Head to your CEO of Your Life's Toolbox for inspiration.
You are amazing. Now take some time for yourself to uncover a bit more amazing-ness than you are allowing yourself to see right now.💚

116: Laughing At Yourself - Are you a tissue box or a tissue 😂
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
In this episode, I spill the beans on an embarrassing moment in my middle school years. I had not planned to dive into that story, but ideas and concepts sometimes appear, and I go with the flow.
Goodness gracious, there is so much power in laughing at yourself.
This episode topic originated from an Instagram Reel where I poked fun at "life coaches" (mostly myself) and our my abundant use of analogies.
And when I say extreme use - a few of you thought I was serious with my Reel - which made me laugh at myself more. 😂 Thank you for that.
Consider for a moment what life would be like if you laughed at yourself a bit more: not in a cruel way but a, "Well, I see the silliness in that, and I don't take myself too seriously," kind of way.
In the end, it may alleviate the pain a bit when another human laughs because you've already released the power the situation could have held on your life.
Cheers and Giggles!

115: How Long Does Empty Nest Syndrome Last? ⏱
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Have you ever wondered how long you will be experiencing empty nest syndrome?
You aren't alone! It is a commonly searched phrase on the internet.
I did a light bit of research for this episode, and share my thoughts on the time frame I found listed high in my search results.
I'd love to know your thoughts.
This transition is one that can be as beautiful or heart-wrenching as you allow it to be. If you enjoy this episode or are curious about more, subscribe to my podcast, and let's get you in a place that serves you, your future-self, and others in your life well!
🗨 "Apparently, this question is googled often, “how long does it take to get over empty nest syndrome.' I can understand that. Especially when a mother is first experiencing some of those overwhelming bittersweet feelings that could feel soul-crushing if you can’t find a way to the other side of them."

114: I'm Calm. Why are people telling me I'm not? 🤔
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Have you experienced being peaceful and then having someone ask you, "what is wrong?" or said, "what is wrong with you; why are you upset?"
It seems bizarre. But if your behavior is different from what others are used to, they are interpreting your change as not calm, while all the while, you are feeling an inner stillness.
Let's let them be them, while you remain your new, peaceful self. Well, we can try. 🤣
🗨 "I’m incredibly proud of you. You are doing the work, my friend. You may be discovering peace in your life that you hadn’t known before. It is amazing, isn’t it?"

113: When Something Unexpected Comes Along Pots on the Stove 🍳
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Some years the unexpected is more the norm than the norm (whatever that means). The unexpected has a way of leveling us up, stretching us, and making us stronger. When we focus on a specific project or route for our lives, the unexpected may cause gut reactions such as,
* "Why have I been working on this project the whole time?" or
"My work must have moved out of my zone of genius."
Or the dreaded:
* "Wow, I've been on the wrong path this whole time!"
Sure, that could be the case, but when we zoom out to the bigger picture of our life, it might only be time to move that project to the warming oven for a bit until other things have matured. You'll never go wrong if you consider both before making a big decision.

Sometimes challenges - and opportunities - pop up in our life. What do you make them mean? I explore this in today's episode.
🗨 "Life isn’t a one way, smooth sailing go-kart course, or street. It has detours. It has bumps. It has U-turns sometimes. Yes, sometimes we change course consciously, by making a decision, or we change our mind. But other times, life forces us to change course for one reason or another."

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Intuition. What are your thoughts about it? I share mine in this episode.
🗨 "My theory is that much of a human’s unsettledness, or restlessness, has more to do with not following their own intuition/guidance/GPS, than to do with the outside world. Internal peace is life changing, and then, you know how to take the next step. It’s so worth the discomfort to discover it. But then, trusting it is the next big step."

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Here we go. Another attempt at college during a pandemic. What an adventure for all of us - whether your child is heading back to campus with face masks, symptom monitoring, physical distancing, and no group hangouts, or if they are home.
No matter the choices that your family has made, motherhood is an adventure. Empty nesting shows up in our lives a little bit differently for each of us, but in the end, we all are doing our best to navigate this thing called life. If you need help discovering your future self, I'm here for you when you are ready to get to work.
Take deep breaths, my empty nest friend (or future empty nest friend), and do your best to enjoy the ride.

103: How to Help Your College Student Prepare for A Different Campus Part 2 of 2 featuring Dr. Jill Grimes MD
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
If your child is scheduled to head back to campus in four to six weeks, you may have questions about how to best prepare for campus during COVID.
In this episode, I have great fun chatting with Dr. Jill about this topic. We talk about forms, checklists, favorite chapters of her new book, and so much more!
Her book, The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook, Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness, is the perfect reference book for both you and your child. I give it my five happy chick rating, and I invite you to listen to the full episode.

102: How to Help Your College Student Prepare for A Different Campus Part 1 of 2
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Fall 2020: some of our children's schools have plans for an on-campus return, and the campus won't be the campus our child(ren) left or visited. Life is different, and campus life will be no exception.
While our daughter is scheduled to head back to college in less than six weeks, that may or may not come to fruition. 2020 has a sneaky way of showing us that plans are rarely concrete. In the meantime, the best thing our family can do is prep for a return to campus with the knowledge we have now. In this episode, I share some things we are doing to prepare for an on-campus semester.

98: How to Deal With Difficult People
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
I recorded this episode a few weeks ago. Created for the moments in your life where other humans rub you the wrong way: when you know you have to work around them (or with them), and something about them pushes your buttons.
To be clear, I would not use this process for racist, abusive, or anti-humanity situations.
But for those button-pushers that you need to navigate around in your life, seeking peace within yourself isn't meant to help them, it is to help you. Imagine finding different ways to navigate your interactions going forward. We don't learn these things to quickly tell our friends and family how to do things better so they'll be a better person. Wouldn't it be nice if it were that easy?
No, WE change how we handle things, and then others may want to know more - or they won't - either way, you have more peace in your life. Life gets interesting when peace is within you.

🗨 "In our life’s toolbox, we want to keep only the tools that serve us well; that make us feel happy and that lovingly create progress forward in our life."

88: The Conscious Effective Olympian Toolbox
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Imagine that you ask someone to work on a broken item in your home. They walk up to your home – no vehicle of any sort – and have only the clothes on their body with them. You assume that they’ll come back later with resources to help them finish the job, but upon completing your explanation, they say, “Great! It will cost this much, and I can start now.”
You are a bit curious about how this will play out, so you hire them.
They interrupt you constantly, although quite politely, “By any chance do you have a phillips head screwdriver?” and such. Some items you have, and some you don’t. The “expert” hunts through your drawers (no, they didn’t ask) to find a dull kitchen knife to use.
You don’t allow this to last long. You can only take 30-minutes of it. Although, it felt like three hours 😣 – before you send them on their way.
Who wouldn’t bring the tools they need?
My friend, so many of us do this every single da…

64: Becoming the CEO of Your Life Part 1 of 5 Meet Your Protector
I am thrilled to share this series with you! This CEO of Your Life topic has been over a year and a half in the making for me. I had it before I found my empty nest niche but it took me stepping out to create this podcast and my work with clients to allow this to brew into what it is today - talk about a simmer
I will be sharing this concept with you, in small bites, over the next few months.
I expect a few things about this will change over time, as I'm finding that as I prepare the scripts, verbalize concepts, and share these concepts with clients, I develop nuances, memory tactics, and more.
So much fun!
In all honesty, it is a bit unsettling to put it out there. At the same time, had I not started the podcast, I wouldn't be here today, so this leads me to share more with you now than feels comfortable, knowing that for each level of imperfection and discomfort put out in the world, the more clarity I have in my purpose.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.

58: Fish Tank Empowerment
Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend!
In this episode, I introduce you to a concept/analogy that came to me as I drove home from She Podcasts Live — conceived in my effort to keep the momentum from the conference going for days, weeks, and months ahead.
I utilized my long car ride homeward to work through the struggle that I knew had the potential to remain in my life had I not processed it in this way. I share this with you with love and hope you find the motivation and inspiration that I found in it the next time you experience an event in your life like this.
When you honor who you are, the universe responds.
I am living this now. It is three months out from the conference, and this analogy continues to serve me well. I am savoring the simmer as I return to the giant fish tank.

Oh, and pumpkin pie - thankful for pumpkin pie! I WILL treat myself with some pumpkin pie.

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend!
When entering the empty nest, some of us launch back into the workforce, others never have the luxury to consider staying home full-time, and yet others keep careers going part-time while raising our families. Each path is perfect for our own life. Aren't we all amazing?
While this episode's concept is universal to a job or home life, my example is plucked right from my job.

Whether you are a first-time listener or not, thanks for giving this episode a try. I open with the sounds of nature that I heard as I laid in my tent during my very first GPS Reset Weekend Retreat.

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!
My guest, today, Jenn Musselman, is so much fun. She's a closet coach, a certified professional life coach with a niche in closet coaching (more about that in the episode), and also manages one of my favorite places to hang out - and get my hair done - Reveal Salon, located in Chester Springs, PA. One visit there and you'll know why I think of it so fondly.
Jenn chose to be open and honest with us in sharing some of the thoughts she's had as her youngest heads off to college. She surprised herself with a couple of them and one she even had herself questioning, "where did this thought come from?" Now, if you have listened to a few of my episodes or more, you know I view observing and questioning your thoughts as healthy.
A special thanks to Jenn for joining me and for opening up to us in this way. May you find some comfort in what she shares. Take a moment to follow her on Instagram or Facebook while you are here. Links are below!

Jo has supremely fresh and funny posts and is highly engaged on the platform. She shared a few photos and Insta stories about her walk on the Camino de Santiago this year. The stories piqued my interest, and a few thoughts arrived in my head: I would like to know more about this walk, and I would like to know more about Jo. I bet some of her other followers would like to know more, too. I'm going to invite her to be a guest on my podcast.
I did.
And she said, "Yes!"
Not only that, she took the interview call while she was on holiday/vacation, and stayed up late! She's got the amazing thing figured out!
I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed speaking with her.

35: Leveling Up in Life - Donkey Kong your Life
Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!
Life can be filled with lousiness sometimes. Right when you begin to feel like you are getting somewhere, suddenly something happens that has you feeling like you are back at square one. This is beautiful: it is real; it is life. Nowhere are we guaranteed smooth sailing or perfection, did you get that guarantee? Because I didn't. But we get to live it - ALL of it. I encourage you to live through it, not run from it - the good, the bad, and the ugly - all of it because, you are ALIVE. It all comes down to who you want to be in each moment. I know you can be amazing, but you have to choose to live in it fully to level up in your life. In this episode, I share how I feel life is like Donkey Kong.

32: What Life Skills Should My High School Child Be Mastering Now To Be Successful In College?
Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!
This episode topic comes from a Green Popsicle Stick Group Facebook member. Once again, when I sat down to organize and script this out, I had no idea that I had so many thoughts on the subject. Too funny.
Katie asked, "What skills are you glad you taught your daughter before she went off to college? And, is there anything you wished you'd spent more time on with her?"
These are fantastic questions from Katie, whose daughter is already ahead of the game, as you will hear in this episode.

31: How do I find friends in the empty nest?
Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!
This episode topic is from a fellow listener who asked about finding friends in the later years of life. When I sat down to organize and script this out, I had no idea that I had so many thoughts on the subject. But then, I do have a lot of opinions on many topics, don't I? Ha!
Anyway, remember that some friendships serve seasons of our life, and others are in for the long haul. Either way, if you are looking to add friends to your life, take a little bit of time to figure out what you are looking for in a friend, and then enjoy looking for those new friendships!

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!
I can't begin to tell you how much I needed this episode when I wrote it. Throughout our life, we experience change. Sometimes it is expected, sometimes it is not. When we are unable to be patient with ourselves through the transition, things can get a little off course and "boil over."
In this episode, I talk about the importance of a simmer in a beef stew and what that has to do with your life.

27: What Are You Making Grades Mean?
Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!
So, I wonder if this episode is the one that gets my listeners worked up. These are thoughts that we don't hear often, so I'm putting them out there. If you aren't a fan of my approach - it is all good, differences are what makes this world interesting.
However, if you can barely stand to listen to my take on grades, I challenge you to take a look at your thoughts and be curious as to the why. Ask yourself, "Who would I be in the world, if for a moment, I tried on these new thoughts and could find myself in a space where I believe them?"
Let me know where you are and let's chat about it. If you are happy with who you show up in the world as with your thoughts on this topic, then you are all good!

Our minds like to be creative. Here are some that I've heard from friends, clients, and family:

* How will they focus enough to study with the many distractions available on a college campus?
* What the heck am I going to do with my time?
* Will they eat well?
* Will they party too much and drop out of school?
* What if they take seven years to get through school?

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend!
I am unbelievably excited to have Carolyn Allison Caplan AKA Admissions Mom as a guest on my episode, today. Honestly, I could have spoken with Carolyn for hours, but, alas, I had to return to work from my lunch break. But, no worries, we already discussed having her back on the podcast. Yay!
In this episode, we chat about those extracurricular activities that are so necessary for a college application. Carolyn's viewpoint is one that I adore, and her heart for the students she assists is evident and infectious. Seriously, take a look at the karma this amazing lady has on Reddit! Good stuff!
Whether you have a kiddo heading off to college in the next few years or not, there are tremendous nuggets of wisdom in this conversation with Carolyn. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed chatting with her! As always, thanks for listening!
