Your Empty Nest Coach, Christine reviews a past Linkedin article.

📄 Full transcript:

This is an empty nest success quick take. An episode, in between my monthly episodes, where I look back at content I created before, share it and comment on it briefly.

[level-up music]

Every once in a blue moon, I'll post an article on LinkedIn. This was one of my earlier ones back in 2019.

It's titled What is your destination?

[music plays under this segment (reading)]

A few months ago, I wrote on the whiteboard in my day jobs office:

Consistency is the creator and killer of dreams.

Someone said, “hmm, the killer?”

Yes, a consistent thing doesn't mean it's always a good thing. Consistently choosing to eat dessert even between meals, not to leave your house and go to the gym. Not to put your phone down when your child, or partner, is talking to you to spend hours on social media all have consequences.

What are you doing consistently? Are you aware that you're making those choices? And do they lead to the dreams you have in store for your life?

You consistently choose to do things all of the time.

I simply challenge you today to be conscious of your choices and to be kind to yourself if you identify a consistency in your life that needs to be changed.

Dreaming big and choosing the right things to do consistently is worth it.

It is time to be amazing-you, my friend, I believe in you. 💚

[end music]

Looking at this article, as I was reading it, the bullet points made me cringe a little that I had put them out there, but at the same time I like the way I wrapped it up. Those were simply examples.

The point is that we are consistently choosing to do things all of the time. First and foremost, be kind and loving to yourself in your mind.

Second, pay attention and notice your thoughts: notice what you're choosing to do regularly. And be curious if that's something you want to continue doing.

I'm definitely not here to tell you which things you should be choosing. That's for you to do. Pay attention. Have fun with this, and remember that you are amazing! 💚

Hello, my amazing friend. 👋

A Quick Take episode: short episodes where I quickly review a piece of earlier content and post between my monthly episodes.

Bad days, bad moments, and bad happenings are all part of life.

Eventually, you may even move to a place where it isn't worth labeling any day bad, but we must start somewhere.

As always, I'm cheering you on! 🎉

Your Empty Nest Coach, Christine reviews a past email sent about bad days.

📄 Full transcript:

This is an empty nest success quick take. An episode, in between my monthly episodes, where I look back at content I created before, share it and comment on it briefly.

[level-up music]

Today I'm scrolling through past Thursday thoughts about email(s) and one caught my eye. I haven't even read it yet. So I'm going to read it now and see how it resonates. This one's called bad days.

[music plays under this segment (reading)]

Some days I handle life better than other days, I used to beat myself up when I handled things poorly.

As a human, I'm going to make mistakes. It's all part of this beautiful thing called life.

One thing we can do when mistakes happen, is to remind ourselves that our words in our mind matter what we say to ourselves matters. These words are important.

Some days, we win at a big life goal, while other days we win at remembering that we matter, even when we do things that we might not be proud of doing.

It isn't what we do or say. It's what we make what we do or say mean, and what we make other humans do or say mean.

The more I help others, the more the universe likes to test my skills. When this happens, just like everyone else, those thought-box-deliveries come rushing in. They deliver thoughts that cause me to feel stressed, where my mind wants to go when I don't check in. Some days, I'm faster at others and realizing that I'm on autopilot. But either way, the moment I click autopilot off and begin to observe the thoughts bombarding my mind, everything changes.

It is so darn easy to leave on the autopilot of our mind. After all, we get to sit back and let life happen to us. It's so much easier to be the complaining backseat driver than the person who is driving.

But the moment we engage ourselves in our life, everything changes. Choose to engage your beautiful mind. You have the power to change everything with it, your thoughts, your emotions, your actions and your results. But first you have to choose to engage: to click autopilot off and go through the emotions in life.

You are worth it.

[end music]

And this was fascinating to read. I sent this on June 13 of 2019. It took me some effort to find the actual copy. I've bumped up my analogies a lot since then. I've added the idea of your protector or some people call it an ego who is actually on your side and working very hard to protect you. But we need to take the time to train our protector in a way that we get to embrace and live into our life.

If you want to dive in more, I'll put links in the show notes.

And don't you dare forget that you are amazing. 💚

Hello, my amazing friend. 👋

Welcome to my first Quick Take episode!

Inspiration hit me just as I was wrapping up recording episode 160 to look back at some content (no plan) and see if I could come up with three quick episodes that way. I did!

I love this idea for reviewing content from the past, and it provides an easy way to deliver weekly episodes again.

Let's see how this goes!

As always, I'm cheering you on! 🎉

Your Empty Nest Coach, Christine, reviews a past email sent to only one person.

📄 Full transcript:

This is an empty nest success quick take. A quick episode, in between my monthly episodes, where I look back at content I created before, and share it briefly. Enjoy!

[level-up music]

It feels right to look at the very first email I ever sent as part of Your Empty Nest Coach. I use Active Campaign, so I went into my emails and saw what I sent.

In May of 2019, I was testing the system. And I sent an email to one singular person. That was me!

The title of that email was Thursday, thoughts about “That thing.” I love(d) the idea of having a Thursday thoughts about email: just quick thoughts.

I tend to be way more wordy these days. And looking at this, I like how short and sweet this is. It didn't yet have as much to share either, though.

So here's what I said to myself:

[music plays under this segment (reading)]

That thing you keep thinking about, that thing you keep saying, “I'll do it later.”

It is time.

Time to make a plan and honor yourself by starting now.

Do it.

I believe in you.

I even have a little meme there. I was fancy.

[end music]

Here I am, years later, looking at this email that I sent to myself just to test things. Basically, I was creating content that I wanted to receive from others.

Looking back at this very first email (that I sent myself) makes me incredibly thankful that I did make the plan; that I did honor myself by starting. The me [of] back then wouldn't believe the things that I have accomplished in this time.

It has been slow and steady, beautiful, stressful (sometimes), messy for sure.

I've felt all the emotions, but I'm ever so thankful that past me did take the time to make a plan.

The plan doesn't have to be your boss.

The plan can be vague.

Sometimes just making the plan is the first step.

Make making the plan fun. And guess what, you don't have to accomplish everything that you want tomorrow.

Have fun with it!

And my friend, you are amazing. 💚

[end music]

Hello, my amazing friend. 👋

Inspiration versus Motivation: it has been on my mind in all areas of my life.

In this episode, I share the idea of giving your child(ren) space to be inspired.

As I listened back to the episode, "inspirational parenting" came to mind to sum this up.

However, how I explain those two words here and what first comes to mind for you may be vastly different. I'd love to know your thoughts!

As always, I'm cheering you on! 🎉

💬 "Give your children the space to be inspired to have a relationship with you: wouldn’t all of us much rather be with people who love us for who we are rather than remind us who we aren’t?"

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.

I'm popping in with a fun new segment, and sharing about the pause in my life.

"My beautiful, amazing, resourceful friend, I'm impressed by you. You made time to do something for you. Do more of that, and then do even more. You deserve it. You deserve rest.

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."

Hello, my amazing friend!

🗨 "To my friends who dislike this day because they are a Mother but their family just treats it like any other day: Yes, this happens. Please remember this one day is not the be all and end all to how they show your love. They love you, but they may not show it today. If you are still having a hard time feeling thankful, go back to my first two comments above and try looking at life a bit differently. Then treat yourself today. You are worth it."

Hello, my amazing friend!

🗨 "Emotions may arise and that’s okay - you’re strong enough to get through them. Then you’ll begin to take inventory on the thoughts - I call those thoughts your thought-deliveries. And for each one you’re going to ask yourself: “Is it true?” “Do I love this thought (or do I even like it)?” Consider if there is a way to adjust the thought in a way that allows you to show up better for yourself and the world now?"

Hello, my amazing friend!

🗨 "My amazing friend, my wish for you today is that you are able to take time for you for something that you’ve been putting off. Whether it is a hair appointment, a doctor appointment or a walk in the park, may you easily be able to schedule that time for yourself today and may it give you energy to do another thing or two that you haven’t been making the time for. Those little things feel good, don’t they?"

Hello, my amazing friend!

🗨 "The most important thing to remember is that your college student - if they actually made it to campus - has changed. It could be a big or small change, but they are not the same student who left last time, and they are definitely not the same child that lived in your house at age 10, 12, 14, etc., so your now emerging adult deserves to have the opportunity to show who they are now."

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.

Enjoy time with your family this holiday season, my empty nest friend, and remember that you are amazing!

🗨 "... what if we were to create a Motherhood Memory Book that allows us to capture large lessons learned, or celebrate accomplishments that aren’t just our child’s sporting event, scholarship honor, first steps? Those sorts of things. What if we created our own Motherhood Memory Book? Our memories, our lessons learned."

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.

🗨 "Life is a beautiful mess. Make it YOUR beautiful mess and create a masterpiece going forward. You get to decide who you’ll be. Don’t think for a moment that you are defined by divorce. You are more than divorced. You are amazing you, who happened to have experienced divorce."

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.💚

🗨 "We all know it makes sense to take the break, to rejuvenate, to get the sleep you need, to hydrate yourself, to eat well, but sometimes our protector thinks they know better."

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!

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. 🤣

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.

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

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."

Believe it or not, non-empty-nest humans listen to my podcast!

What?

Yep!

Since I create these episodes with someone in mind who isn't quite yet in the empty nest, this makes sense! Sure, many of my examples are empty nest specific, but you can change them to apply to your current circumstance. Empty nest or not, thanks for listening, my beautiful friend!

🗨 "... the lessons I teach are life lessons. Whether your child is heading to college, the armed services, an apartment out on their own, off to get married, or if they are only seven years old and it just hit you that they will leave one day, I’m here for you."

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.

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

I had another topic scheduled for today, but with my clients, friends, and colleagues struggling with figuring out their fall season this year due to school changes, I sat down in front of the mic to share some unscripted thoughts with you. Forgive the rabbit trails. 🐰

My friend, please know that while the next few months look like a hot mess, you can handle it.

Here are some thoughts to try on. Adjust as needed. 💚

  • "This isn't what we planned at all, but we will figure out how to make it work, and I'll be patient with myself as I navigate the journey forward."
  • "This isn't what we planned. I'm not sure what the future looks like, but I can figure out my next best step at this moment - even if it is to stare at the wall to calm my brain."

Let's be real. Sometimes this is needed.

  • "Online again: Well, I know what didn't work last time around. How can I change those areas?"
  • "Online again: I can adapt in ways that I couldn't imagine a year ago. This won't look the way I had planned, and that's okay."

🗨 "Be there for your children. All of the thoughts and anxiety that you have (about our current situation) they feel that - and they have their own. So I encourage you to get to know them no matter their age - what's going on in their mind?" This episode's full transcript is available on my website.

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.

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.

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.

🗨 "Another human in your life is always outside of your fence. You can’t control them. You can’t control their thoughts or actions. What you CAN control is your thoughts about them.” This episode's full transcript is available on my website.

What You Will Learn in this Episode * How to use the concept of a protector to view others differently * To remember to protect your energy - and those problematic humans may disappear on their own

Episode Questions for You To Consider 1. Who did you have in mind when you began listening to this episode? 2. How may you picture their protector in a way to provide peace in your life?

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

When you do the work on yourself, when you train your protector well, it becomes apparent what you need to do and when you need to do it - and that includes speaking up for others.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on why I did this episode, my thoughts on Black Lives Matter, and I bring to your ears three beautiful voices.

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 day in our lives. I introduce you to the idea of your life’s toolbox in this episode.

🗨 "These tools that Self-help Sally uses are more like band-aids for her than cures. So, that toolbox that I want you to consider is in your life, that I’m asking you to picture this week as you go forward, I want you to ask yourself if you have one at all?
If you do, what are your go-to coping mechanisms when life gets tough? In what ways are you like Self-help Sally?"

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend! We are continuing to work through the series on becoming the CEO of Your Life. In this episode, we are considering the modes of our protector. I invite you to: * Listen * Re-listen where needed * Ask Questions

Thank you for joining me on this journey. 🗨️ I see our relationship with our protector as what controls our mind’s energy, and I’m viewing that dimmer switch, that I spoke about in the last episode, with three modes, just like what would be on a real dimmer switch: the off position, anywhere in between the bottom and the top, and the top, or brightest setting.

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.

In this episode, I introduce you to the idea of your protector.

🗨️ Protector is like the security guard for your house. Protector arrived in my imagery as I read through "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle and began to form as I thought through how I envisioned my Ego. So, hopefully, it will help you to understand the Ego better (although I’m not sure it is precisely the way Eckhart would see it) it resonates with me and has been resonating with my clients with whom I have shared.

What You Will Learn in this Episode * An addition to the analogy of your mind being like a house * Where the idea of ego took me and how a security booth is involved * To consider that you have a protector * To consider what your protector looks like

Episode Questions for You To Consider 1. How do you imagine your protector? 2. What resistance do you have to this imagery?

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. This episode's full transcript is available on my website.

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend! As it is Thanksgiving week here in the United States, and since this is a podcast episode, I thought it would be appropriate to share a podcaster I am thankful for. Please note that, of course, I am incredibly thankful for my patient and supportive husband, my incredibly creative and kind-hearted daughter, my friends and extended family, my health and all that comes with the privilege of being alive on this earth at this moment. Oh, and pumpkin pie - thankful for pumpkin pie! I WILL treat myself with some pumpkin pie. While this episode is a bit longer than my usual episode, it is an incredibly interesting listen. Carolyn was kind enough to share one of her episodes with me that I handpicked for you. Nikhil Pampati is a high school senior who has created a nonprofit that is incredibly needed and inspiring.

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. If it inspires you to behave differently, I would love to know what change you make.

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend! I not only survived my very first retreat, but I had an amazing time, too! It exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to do it again. What crazy idea do you have that you should try? This one was mine, and I’m so thankful I stepped out of my comfort zone and did it. In honor of my crazy idea, this episode is also an experiment for me, so if this is your first time listening, know that this is not my usual format. It is more of a narrative and an audio journey. 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. I’m thankful to my first retreat attendee who took a chance on my idea, signed up, and uncovered how brave she is. Join me on my very first retreat, by listening to this episode - or watching it - yes, I have an accompanying video!

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.

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend! I am thrilled to bring this episode to you. I enjoy scrolling through Instagram and making new connections on that platform. One account that always makes me smile is Midlife Highway, which is run by the ever so funny, Jo Davies. 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. Take a listen, or read the full transcript on my website!

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.

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?"

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.

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!

Hello, my Empty Nest Friend! My future empty nest friend, I want to talk about the normal thoughts that you may expect to have as you prepare for your child heading to school. Our minds like to be creative. Here are some that I've heard from friends, clients, and family: * Will they ever bathe in college? * Will they find a community that welcomes them? * 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? * Motherhood is over!
