How to Get Through Being an Empty Nester

Episode 22

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.
