This book has me prepared!

This book has really helped me think about and prepare for what life will be like once my kids move out of the house! This book has got me thinking about a lot of things that I otherwise wouldn’t have! Even if you’re a few years away from becoming an empty nester it’s still a good idea to think about these things in advance!

I Found New Joy After the Kids Moved Out!

When my last child left for college, I felt so lost. Surviving and Thriving the Empty Nest was exactly what I needed! It helped me navigate the emotional ups and downs and reminded me that this is also a time to rediscover myself. The tips for creating new routines and exploring hobbies were so practical, and the real-life examples gave me hope. This book is like a warm hug and a pep talk all in one. If you're feeling unsure about this new chapter, I highly recommend it!
