From Mom to Me Again

How I Survived My First Empty-Nest Year and Reinvented the Rest of My Life

De: Melissa T. Shultz

Narrado por: Wendy Tremont King

When her children left for college, Melissa Shultz was certain that she had prepared them well for their new lives - but her own life was a different matter entirely. Her house was empty, her purpose unclear. If her life was no longer dominated by the day-to-day demands of being "Mom", then who exactly was she? And how would she ever move forward?

From Mom to Me Again is the story of one woman's reinvention. Shultz's struggle with the empty nest and the transformation of her marriage, friendships, career, and ultimately herself, is part memoir and part self-help guide. Funny, poignant, and practical, this book tells Shultz's personal story and provides valuable advice for listeners preparing to send their children off into the world. She shows women that while they'll always be mothers, it's time for them to take center stage in their own lives once again.

Exactly what I needed to hear

I can't thank the author enough for these words that are so helping me in the season of life. So inspirational!

This is a good book

This is a good book, I like it, I want to listen it, I learn something from the book

Keep Listening/reading

I found it hard to listen first because it made me think about my past and being a mother. I pushed through it and told myself that I needed to feel the sorrow in order to get to the next chapter not only while listening but in my own life. Turned out my instincts were right ended on a positive hopefully note.

Awesome Book

This was definitely good food for the soul!!!! I realized becoming an empty nester does have its perks. I’m going to see how many perks I can grab a hold of and enjoy this next chapter of life! Thank you!
