And although there are many benefits to simplifying our lives by getting rid of stuff, there's also another perspective to keep in mind.That perspective is to have things around you that matter, the things that bring back those happy memories of either times gone by or about loved ones no longer here on earth with us. But how do you decid...

Life changing.

I came across Jodi on another podcast and the second I heard her voice, I knew she was what I needed. Her poise, energy, determination, and kind heart immediately caught my attention. I love dares and completely forgot about that word in how it motivates me. I have binged every episode and also joined Moms Who Dare Facebook page where I have felt so welcomed. I felt that I hit a massive wall in not knowing what to do with myself and where to turn now that I am experiencing empty nest. But now I have my motivation back and ready to take on this next amazing chapter of my life. Special thanks to Jodi. She has a new #1 fan.

Empty nest grief

Thank You for this episode! My son( Only child) left the nest in June 2023 he got married and joined the Navy. I do a lot of self care and one of the things I do is IFS therapy. Well I found a part in me that after sitting with it for 3 weeks finally identified as “ Grief”. So as a spiritual person I turned to the people who have passed away that I was very close to. I gave them all jobs, I sat with the black candle, I wrote in my journal….all the things. Today for some reason it came to me that this grief is for my son. I have feelings of remorse, loneliness, isolation, and guilt. What a relief to get validation from your podcast. I am going to work with this “part” of me and do my best to make a plan to see my son, even if just for ice cream. He is about 1700 miles away. Thank You so much. I will be listening to all of your shows. ❤️🤗
