As parents, we devote at least two decades to raising our children so they can go off into the world as (hopefully) confident, kind, and capable individuals. It’s easy for our identity to get wrapped up in parenthood, but we eventually have to confront who we are once the kids are gone - and that can be intimidating. Jim welcomes author, speaker, and marriage coach Jill Savage to talk about her book Empty Nest, Full Life, and how much joy can be found in the season after kids. From dissolving codependency to reconnecting with your spouse, from reigniting old hobbies to finding new ones, from “bleacher-butt” friends to deep, lasting friendships, this conversation will encourage you to be intentional in whatever stage of parenting you are currently in.
Jim's Takeaways for Moving Forward in the Empty Nest
- Remember that your children haven’t left your life
- Reinvent the relationship with your adult children (they aren’t your major emotional support!)
- Work out flexible ways to stay in touch
- Reactivate your social life
- Practice healthy doses of self-care
