How to Get Through Being an Empty Nester
In this episode I sat down for a Champagne Charlas episode on Modern Latina in Midlife podcast with my friend, holistic business coach, intuitive advisor and podcast producer, Sonia Flores to talk honestly about what it’s really like to become an empty nester. We’re only a few weeks in and already it’s brought up waves of unexpected grief, pride, identity shifts, and those “out of nowhere” tears that feel a lot like loss. We share how we’re navigating quiet houses, kids getting sick far away from home, and that helpless feeling of not being able to swoop in and fix it like we used to—whether they’re off at university or in the Navy.
We also talk about the practical and spiritual side of this transition: grocery bills and gas going down, rearranging rooms, the urge to move (or not move), and how we’re using this season to turn inward. You’ll hear how we’re leaning on journaling, meditation, nervous system regulation, spirit guides, and deep inner work to rediscover who we are beyond motherhood. If you’re an empty nester, or you know it’s coming, this conversation will make you feel seen, less alone, and hopefully a little more supported as you write your next chapter, too.
So grab your favorite bubbly or tea, get comfy, and join us for this honest girlfriend conversation.
