Start Preparing

Millions of moms feel lost and alone when their children leave the nest, and very few take the time to rediscover who they are before their children leave. Motherhood is such an important and beloved role, but a lot of women lose their individual identity along the way. This becomes very apparent when their children begin to move out. Moms don’t know who they are anymore without their children.

The Almost Empty Nester provides a blueprint so that mothers can experience a more empowering and fulfilling second act.
