HI, I’M KARLA

Mother of three, happy wife, international author & coach learning to embrace my Empty-ing Nest...

After years of research and writing, I now help mothers get unstuck  and move forward in this new chapter with confidence, purpose, and excitement.

I Can't Wait to Help You, Read On! ↓

Come in and stay awhile!

Welcome friend.
I’m overjoyed to meet you.

Welcome to The Empty Nester Club! I am absolutely thrilled that you have found your way to my story. My name is Karla Olson and I am a mother of three. As my children started to leave the nest, I experienced a profound disruption in the rhythm of my life. It forced me to pause and reflect on who I had become as an individual. For the past two decades, my focus had centered entirely on my family, and I hadn’t taken the time to consider my own dreams and aspirations. Realizing that countless women were going through the same transition, I embarked on a journey to redefine my next chapter.

I am here to uplift the conversation around Empty Nesting. I see you, and I am wholeheartedly grateful that you have joined me on this transformative path. Together, let’s embrace the possibilities and make the most of this incredible chapter in our lives.

Join me as we embark on the beautiful path of Empty Nesting. Together.

join the conversation!

nice to meet you

Trust me when I say life is just beginning. Hang around for some good stories, a proven roadmap and a lot of fun!

Millions of moms feel a little 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. 

Join us at The Empty Nester Club as we design a roadmap for defining your next best chapter.

What I'm 

loving

Watching, Ted Lasso and Downton Abbey... so good!
Visiting our family cabin...my happy place.
Hosting the Almost Empty Nester Book Club... Inspiring!
My family...couldn't make it on this journey without them. 

What I'm 

learning

The more we speak and share about topics like Empty Nesting the stronger our community becomes. Stories and personal narratives connect us all. 

What I'm 

not about

Seeking that ridiculous pinnacle of perfection for women that was created eons ago. Forget about being everything to everyone and losing yourself in the process. No thanks.

what I

believe

Every Empty Nest mother deserves to rediscover her passions and purpose, and learn how to take action on them. I want to teach you how to fall in love with your future.

your next, best chapter is waiting

We all have a beautiful story.
Mine centers around a wonderful husband of twenty-nine years and three incredible daughters.
There's a whole lot of ME in that story also.

Do you need a little reminder of what your personal story is, or what to do next? Are you looking for a supportive coach that can provide guidance and encourage as you embark on this exciting Empty Nesting journey? Let’s connect.
