Aaaand My Child's School Went Online Again �‪�‬ Your Empty Nest Coach Podcast

    • Self-Improvement

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
I had another topic scheduled for today, but with my clients, friends, and colleagues struggling with figuring out their fall season this year due to school changes, I sat down in front of the mic to share some unscripted thoughts with you. Forgive the rabbit trails. 🐰
My friend, please know that while the next few months look like a hot mess, you can handle it.
Here are some thoughts to try on. Adjust as needed. 💚
"This isn't what we planned at all, but we will figure out how to make it work, and I'll be patient with myself as I navigate the journey forward." "This isn't what we planned. I'm not sure what the future looks like, but I can figure out my next best step at this moment - even if it is to stare at the wall to calm my brain." Let's be real. Sometimes this is needed.
"Online again: Well, I know what didn't work last time around. How can I change those areas?" "Online again: I can adapt in ways that I couldn't imagine a year ago. This won't look the way I had planned, and that's okay."
🗨  "Be there for your children. All of the thoughts and anxiety that  you have (about our current situation) they feel that - and they have their own. So I encourage you to get to know them no matter their age - what's going on in their mind?"
