One minute you're helicoptering your kid to games and recitals, nagging them about their messy room. Then they're gone. An empty bedroom. An empty chair at the dinner table. You know this is a healthy part of their development, but it still feels like a piece of your own life just vanished. Some feel sadness. Some feel empty. Some even feel relief. But nobody really tells you how to navigate this. So I asked Larry Cornett to come on Small Talk. Larry is a former Silicon Valley exec with a PhD in psychology who spent decades at places like Apple, Yahoo, and eBay. Now he helps people reinvent at midlife. This episode digs into what empty nesting does to us emotionally, how to stay close to your adult kids without smothering them, and how to rebuild your identity in this new phase.
