What happens when the house goes quiet—when the kids are gone and the identity you’ve poured everything into suddenly shifts?
In this deeply honest episode, we talk about the emotional transition from full-time motherhood to rediscovering who you are without the constant pull of everyone else’s needs. Inspired by the powerful book And Now, Back to Me, we explore the moment when dropping your child off at college isn't just a milestone for them—it’s a reckoning for you.
From the quiet rooms to the ache of absence, we unpack how the empty nest isn’t just about silence—it's about redefining purpose, reconnecting with your partner, and learning how to sit with the question: “Now what?”
