HI, I’M KARLA

Lover of music, teller of stories & connoisseur of
iced vanilla lattes.

Helping you find clarity, courage, connection, and conversation surrounding Empty Nesting.

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 a proven roadmap to get you started in the right direction.

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. 

Join us at The Empty Nester Club as we roadmap how to
define your best, next chapter.

What I'm 

loving

Drinking iced vanilla lattes...always.
Watching, Ted Lasso... so good!
Visiting our family cabin...my happy place.
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 being everything to everyone and losing yourself in the process. No thanks.

what I

believe

Life is hard and amazing, and it's a long, wild journey. Along the way I've learned that if we didn't experience the deep pain and hard parts, we wouldn't be able to revel in the joy and bliss that life also gifts us with. Oh, and kindness always, always wins.
