When the Nest Empties, What’s Next?
The silence can be overwhelming when a once-busy home suddenly feels too quiet. If you’ve ever wondered, Who am I now? Where do I fit in my child’s life—and in my own?
Allie Hill, author of The Girlfriend's Guide to Empty Nesting, knows this transition firsthand. When her daughter left for college, she felt like she took her heart and purpose with her. In this funny, heartfelt and honest conversation, Allie shares how she moved from loss to renewal—rediscovering her own identity, passions, and purpose.
We dive into the emotional rollercoaster of empty nesting, the surprising opportunities this phase brings, and practical ways to strengthen relationships, build new connections, and embrace the next chapter with confidence.
If you're navigating this shift (or see it on the horizon), this episode will remind you: Your best years aren’t behind you—they’re just beginning. Listen now!
