#429 - The Truth About Midlife Grief

Jeanne, Cathy, and I get into what it actually feels like to be in this empty nest stage. Missing your kids while also being proud of them, navigating the shift in your role as a parent, and figuring out who you are when your day-to-day life looks completely different. We talk about friendship, community, grief, and how this phase can feel both freeing and disorienting at the same time. There’s also a lot of conversation around slowing down, being more present, and not feeling the need to constantly fill your time just to avoid sitting with what you’re feeling.
