Empty Nest Grief Is REAL - 3 Strategies For Navigating The Sadness with Adina Tovell

How can empty nesters deal with grief and loneliness after their children leave?  Today, we have Adina Tovell, an Executive Coach and Founder of the People Leadership Institute. She has been a personal development expert for over 25 years and guides people to better understand who they are. She helps people find what matters most to them and refines how they want to show up in the world. You can find her podcast Courage to Be Curious on most podcast apps and you can grab one of her most powerful personal development tools on her website. What differentiates Adina’s approach to professional and personal growth is her focus on cultivating Productive Curiosity. Without curiosity, there is stagnation and resistance. When people are productively curious about themselves and others, healthy relationships, engagement, compassion, creativity, motivation, and loyalty follow. Adina is a personal dear friend of mine for many years now and she's a fellow empty nest mom of two amazing, beautiful daughters. She is also a certified 200-hour yoga teacher, an Advanced PADI scuba diver, an avid reader, a joyful cook, and an adventurous spirit.Adina and I will talk about the grief of having an empty nest, why it's so real, and amazing strategies for navigating this grief and the sadness.Your Dare for the episode is to sit in the empty nest grief.
