When your kids leave home, the house gets quiet—and a lot of women quietly wonder, “Who am I now?”

In this episode, we talk about why feeling lost doesn’t mean you failed—it means you were all in. You’ll hear why the quiet of the empty nest isn’t empty at all, how staying busy can keep you from hearing yourself, and how purpose is built slowly by following what lights you up.

If you’re navigating life after your kids move out and ready to reconnect with yourself in this next chapter, this episode is for you.
