Episode 25-Empty Nest Full Life with guest Jill Savage

As parents, we devote at least two decades to raising our children so they can go off into the world as (hopefully) confident, kind, and capable individuals. It’s easy for our identity to get wrapped up in parenthood, but we eventually have to confront who we are once the kids are gone - and that can be intimidating. Jim welcomes author, speaker, and marriage coach Jill Savage to talk about her book Empty Nest, Full Life, and how much joy can be found in the season after kids. From dissolving codependency to reconnecting with your spouse, from reigniting old hobbies to finding new ones, from “bleacher-butt” friends to deep, lasting friendships, this conversation will encourage you to be intentional in whatever stage of parenting you are currently in. Jim's Takeaways for Moving Forward in the Empty NestRemember that your children haven’t left your lifeReinvent the relationship with your adult children (they aren’t your major emotional support!)Work out flexible ways to stay in touchReactivate your social lifePractice healthy doses of self-careHomeWord Links:HomeWord Website: https://homeword.com/HomeWord Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@homewordJim Burns Blog: https://homeword.com/jims-blog/HomeWord+ Online Courses: https://homeword.com/homeword-plus/Jill Savage Links:Jill Savage: https://jillsavage.org/Empty Nest Resources: https://www.emptynestbook.com/the-resources/No More Perfect Marriages LIVE Events: https://jillsavage.org/no-more-perfect-marriages-live-oct-2024/Leave a Message for HomeWord: 949-485-3905Have a question you want Jim to answer?
