fresh perspectives to consider here

I got an inside look at what my parents went through when I moved out at 18 and came back for a few months at 30. Wow. A good friend is currently becoming an empty nester and I immediately thought of her. It was nice to suggest all the career changes or passion projects that parents could do to fill the time. Its also important to keep dating your spouse in the lead up so things don’t fall apart once the kids leave.

Beautiful book to help loneliness!

After moving across the country, I’ve felt like an empty nester even though my kids are grown and my whole family is still back in California. This audiobook made me feel understood and gave me ideas for building a new life here instead of just missing the old one. I liked the mix of practical tips and encouragement—it reminded me that this can be a time for growth, not just loneliness. I’m already trying a few suggestions, and it’s helping.

My new empty nest vibe

When my youngest left for college, I felt a little lost. This book helped me realize it was an opportunity, not an ending. The strategies inside made me think about my own passions again, and I started a new hobby I'd been putting off for years. It's truly helped me find my footing and feel excited about this next chapter.

Helping you to move on

This audiobook offers clear, heartfelt strategies for embracing life after children leave home. The author's advice felt genuine and uplifting while providing many great ideas. I thought the entire book gave off a hopeful and practical feel, as a guide for anyone navigating their next chapter at home.

Finding Joy in the Next Chapter

As a mom whose children are stepping into adulthood, I wasn’t sure how to handle the quiet and change that came with it.

This audiobook gave me gentle guidance and comfort, helping me see this transition not as an ending, but as an opportunity to rediscover myself.

The strategies shared are simple yet meaningful reminders to care for my own growth, nurture my marriage, and appreciate my children as the independent adults they’re becoming. It shifted my perspective from sadness to gratitude.
