    Episode 257: What is Happening with My Life Right Now? The Empty Nest Shift

    The Empty Nest ShiftApril’s conversation is centered around Empty Nesting — a season many women experience, but few openly prepare for.In this episode, we explore the statistics and emotional realities behind this major life transition.🎙 Did You Know?• Nearly 1 in 2 women report feelings of sadness or loss when children leave home.• Many women experience a shift in identity, feeling “less needed.”• Some studies show an increase in anxiety or mild depression during this transition.🗣 “For years, I was needed every day… and then suddenly, I wasn’t.”We unpack the common emotional themes that surface in this season:• Loss of Purpose — If motherhood has been your primary identity, what’s left?• Identity Shift — Who are you beyond being “Mom”?• Unexpected Freedom — Space can feel scary… but it can also feel expansive.This episode normalizes the feelings, brings language to the experience, and opens the door to a new narrative — one where empty nesting isn’t an ending, but an evolution.If you’re approaching this season, in the middle of it, or supporting someone who is — this conversation is for you.SHOP OUR LOOKS HERE:https://shorturl.at/suqrg🔗 Resources & Links📖 Book: https://a.co/d/8TIbyxv🎧 Audiobook Read-Along: https://shorturl.at/MN65G🌐 Website: https://www.ygcollaborations.com/📞 Schedule a Connection Call: https://calendar.app.google/g7wQ3cb7w🤝 Sponsor Applications: https://forms.gle/G3G5BMPRL22qsZdz8This podcast is brought to you by YG Collaborations — guiding women through self, time, and money alignment, helping you build a life that truly holds you.✨ Subscribe.
