Empty Nest, Full Freakout: A Hot Mess Guide to Letting Go with Allie Hill | Ep. 23
from MenOpod: all things fifty + · host MenOpod
Eliana is spiraling, Leora’s got the post-hotel-sex-glow, and guest expert Allie Hill - author of The Girlfriend’s Guide to Empty Nesting - is here to talk both of them off the ledge (or at least into a guided meditation). It’s all about the meltdown before college drop-off — the anxiety, the Amazon cart spirals, the parental guilt, and whether or not your son will make his flight back from Asia in time to move into his damn apartment. We get real about parental burnout, dorm decorating drama, FERPA forms, and whether tracking your kid on Life360 saves your sanity or wrecks it. Plus, why the only parenting model you may ever need is “benign neglect.”🎧 Tune in for laughter, tears, and some badly-needed midlife solidarity. Perfect for moms navigating empty nest syndrome, midlife parenting, and menopause madness all at once.📘 Get the book: The Girlfriend’s Guide to Empty Nesting by Allie Hill👉 Follow @MenOpodPodcast for more midlife madness and behind-the-scenes shenanigans🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess
