Publisher's summary
Being an empty nester doesn’t have to be lonely. Here’s how to rediscover yourself and live a happy and meaningful life. Are you having a tough time accepting the fact that your child-rearing days are over and that your adult kid is now ready to live without you? Are you experiencing depression and feel like your relationship with your child will start to dwindle as they move out? Are you wondering about what you can do with the excess of unoccupied time you suddenly have now that you’re done with parenting?
If these feelings resonate with you, you’re not alone! Many other empty nesters feel the same way as you do. Kids become independent when they grow up.

Having negative feelings at first is normal, but they don’t have to last. This guide is here to help you navigate these tough times and become stronger and happier whilst maintaining a close relationship with your adult child.
Inside, you will discover:
- The truth about the empty nest syndrome—know its dangers and how to avoid them.
- Practical strategies to get out of debt so you can adjust well to life as an empty nester.
- Easy to follow steps to assess your budget, debts, and savings so you can create a solid financial plan and live a decent life.
- Proven methods to reduce your anxiety and depression the natural way.
- How to rediscover and reinvent yourself and make the most of your newfound freedom.

If you’re interested in making money with stocks, you’re not alone. A recent Gallup poll showed that nearly 6 in 10 American adults have money in the stock market. But unless you’ve previously worked as an investment banker, you might have better odds of making money at the casino than with stocks. In fact, researchers from the University of California found that 90 percent of retail investors and day traders lose money. Which is why most people think winning in the stock market is simply a game of chance.

More than 10 years after Parenting Your Adult Child was published, much has changed—including young adults themselves, as well as their parents. Economic upheavals, challenges to traditional values and beliefs, the phenomenon of over-involved "helicopter parenting"—all make relating to grown children more difficult than ever. Yet at the same time, being a parent of an adult child can bring great rewards.

Story
From two leading child and adolescent mental health experts comes a guide for the parents of every college and college-bound student who want to know what’s normal mental health and behavior, what’s not, and how to intervene before it’s too late. All parenting is in preparation for letting go. However, the paradox of parenting is that the more we learn about late adolescent development and risk, the more frightened we become for our children, and the more we want to stay involved in their lives.

Love is important, but it is respect that is the key to your son's heart. The idea of moms respecting their sons may sound alien to some, but it seems to ignite curiosity across the board. It is easy to relate to the need for all of us to feel a mother's love, but is that the same thing as respect? Even for young boys, the effect of respect is nothing short of astounding when applied properly.

Great book for those nearing the empty nest stage!
I greatly appreciate this book. As a helicopter mom of a 5 year-old I am not quite there yet however it was great to have these insights early on as I know, eventually the time will come when my boy moves out. I appreciated all the amazing health tips to ensure your physical and mental health supports you through this phase and the financial advice which will ensure me and my husband will be in a good spot and actually able to enjoy this next phase, maybe travel a bit?
Nicely written and well narrated. Highly recommend!

Insightful & Helpful
I highly recommend this audiobook to any parent experiencing empty nest syndrome. The author provides valuable insight into the dangers of this transitional phase and how to avoid them. Additionally, the practical strategies offered to get out of debt are extremely helpful for those struggling financially during this time.
The content is easy to follow, with step-by-step instructions on assessing your budget, debts, and savings to create a solid financial plan. The author also provides natural methods to reduce anxiety and depression, a common struggle during this phase.
One of the most valuable parts of this audiobook is the guidance on rediscovering and reinventing yourself. The author encourages listeners to maximize their newfound freedom and offers insightful tips.
The section on keeping your relationship with your child healthy as they grow and move out of the home is also very helpful. The author provides active steps to maintain a strong bond while allowing your child to grow and become independent.
Lastly, the tips on decluttering and redecorating your home to create a calm and peaceful environment are a great way to reignite joy and bring positivity into your life. This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone going through the empty nest phase. It offers practical advice, valuable insight, and a positive outlook on this transitional time.

A perfect companion to ease this transition
This was a lovely listen that I highly recommend to anyone dreading this phase in life, or having trouble coping with the reality of an empty-nest once it has set in. It is a soothing and motivational book that really does feel like a friendly guide to see you through these challenging changes. It provides some great insight into dealing with the lows as well as grasping all the possibilities that lay ahead. A wonderful book that I highly recommend.

Interesting Topic
I can imagine what the author was going through. How massively you can be attached to your children. Yes, that's reality. How many more parents are going through the same things. And when that happening, it's very difficult time in life, psychologically and emotionally. The author did incredible job writing this book to help other people to overcome much easier. You can do so much to avoid loneliness, used habits, routine, etc. Simply by make busy your self, to change focus. Different things as described in this book you can do, from change profession or upgrade whatever you have. Take dancing classes, creative activities, connect to the mother nature. Also build relationships with your adults children and others. Keep occupying your self is the way out from empty nest. Thank you autour for sharing your experience to others

You will love this writer
How to Survive the Empty Nest Phase, by Pamela Fariole, is a comforting book designed to help you make it through this weird transition in your life.
While raising kids, everything in your life completely revolves around them: activities, financial decisions, what you watch on TV, and even where you go to church and so on. Pam poured her heart into this by describing the emotional roller coaster that she had during this time, and then proceeded to give the listener this step by step guide on how to come through this time stronger than ever. I highly recommend this book!!
