Reconnect With Yourself by Navigating the Empty Nest Transition

Today, we will discuss a topic close to the hearts of many women in our Moms Who Dare community: prioritizing oneself during change and transition.For many mothers and fathers, parenting often becomes synonymous with their identity. But once your children leave the nest and go on their own adventures, we can find ourselves at a crossroads, grappling with the profound question: who am I outside of parenthood? The shift from full-time caregiver to reclaiming one's individuality can feel daunting, overwhelming, and at times, downright terrifying. Yet, there lies an opportunity for profound growth, self-discovery, and reinvention.Enter Michael Dear, a therapist, coach, and speaker who specializes in helping individuals unearth their innate greatness, reignite their passions, and chart a course toward a fulfilling future.Drawing upon his eclectic background in therapy and entertainment, Michael infuses his work with humor, compassion, and practical wisdom.
