Ep. 124 Empty Nest vs. Not Quite There Yet: What We’ve Learned (and Didn’t Expect)

Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU!Every stage of motherhood asks us to let go a little more… and no one really talks about how emotional that can feel.In this episode, we unpack the reality of the empty nest, the “not quite there yet” phase, and the identity shifts that happen long before your kids are fully gone.From the emotional buildup that starts in the school years, to the strange limbo of raising technically grown kids who still very much impact your daily life, we talk honestly about the grief, uncertainty, silence, freedom, and “now what?” moments so many moms quietly experience.Ana opens up about her transition after 20+ years as a stay-at-home mom, while Christy shares what it feels like to want to move forward in life… while still feeling emotionally tied to what comes next for her kids.This conversation is about motherhood, identity, letting go, and learning how to reconnect with yourself again in the middle of all the change.Because maybe this season isn’t just about losing a role…Maybe it’s about rediscovering who you are beyond it. Comments or suggestions for topics? [email protected]  Follow us on Instagram: GIRLCANYOUTALKLinks to our favorite thingsBeam Minerals : BeamMineralsLinkuse discount code GIRLTALK and get 20% off Paleovalley: to shop the entire store us this link for 15% off anything else you desire from Paleo Valley with this link PaleoValley15 Beef sticks:get 50% off with our link here
