In this podcast episode, I wrap-up the podcast.
“You can do this too! You can find the things that are YOUR things in life. And that’s what I want to tell you: this works. Clearing your mind and being conscious takes time, but it is so much fun discovering your next chapter. And there will always be a next chapter. Always. Always.”

Your Empty Nest Coach, Christine reviews a past Linkedin article.
📄 Full transcript:
This is an empty nest success quick take. An episode, in between my monthly episodes, where I look back at content I created before, share it and comment on it briefly.
[level-up music]
Every once in a blue moon, I'll post an article on LinkedIn. This was one of my earlier ones back in 2019.
It's titled What is your destination?
[music plays under this segment (reading)]
A few months ago, I wrote on the whiteboard in my day jobs office:
Consistency is the creator and killer of dreams.
Someone said, “hmm, the killer?”
Yes, a consistent thing doesn't mean it's always a good thing. Consistently choosing to eat dessert even between meals, not to leave your house and go to the gym. Not to put your phone down when your child, or partner, is talking to you to spend hours on social media all have consequences.
What are you doing consistently? Are you aware that you're making those choices? And do they lead to the dreams you have in store for your life?
You consistently choose to do things all of the time.
I simply challenge you today to be conscious of your choices and to be kind to yourself if you identify a consistency in your life that needs to be changed.
Dreaming big and choosing the right things to do consistently is worth it.
It is time to be amazing-you, my friend, I believe in you. 💚
[end music]
Looking at this article, as I was reading it, the bullet points made me cringe a little that I had put them out there, but at the same time I like the way I wrapped it up. Those were simply examples.
The point is that we are consistently choosing to do things all of the time. First and foremost, be kind and loving to yourself in your mind.
Second, pay attention and notice your thoughts: notice what you're choosing to do regularly. And be curious if that's something you want to continue doing.
I'm definitely not here to tell you which things you should be choosing. That's for you to do. Pay attention. Have fun with this, and remember that you are amazing! 💚

Hello, my amazing friend. 👋
A Quick Take episode: short episodes where I quickly review a piece of earlier content and post between my monthly episodes.
Bad days, bad moments, and bad happenings are all part of life.
Eventually, you may even move to a place where it isn't worth labeling any day bad, but we must start somewhere.
As always, I'm cheering you on! 🎉

📄 Full transcript:
This is an empty nest success quick take. An episode, in between my monthly episodes, where I look back at content I created before, share it and comment on it briefly.
[level-up music]
Today I'm scrolling through past Thursday thoughts about email(s) and one caught my eye. I haven't even read it yet. So I'm going to read it now and see how it resonates. This one's called bad days.
[music plays under this segment (reading)]
Some days I handle life better than other days, I used to beat myself up when I handled things poorly.
As a human, I'm going to make mistakes. It's all part of this beautiful thing called life.
One thing we can do when mistakes happen, is to remind ourselves that our words in our mind matter what we say to ourselves matters. These words are important.
Some days, we win at a big life goal, while other days we win at remembering that we matter, even when we do things that we might not be proud of doing.
It isn't what we do or say. It's what we make what we do or say mean, and what we make other humans do or say mean.
The more I help others, the more the universe likes to test my skills. When this happens, just like everyone else, those thought-box-deliveries come rushing in. They deliver thoughts that cause me to feel stressed, where my mind wants to go when I don't check in. Some days, I'm faster at others and realizing that I'm on autopilot. But either way, the moment I click autopilot off and begin to observe the thoughts bombarding my mind, everything changes.
It is so darn easy to leave on the autopilot of our mind. After all, we get to sit back and let life happen to us. It's so much easier to be the complaining backseat driver than the person who is driving.
But the moment we engage ourselves in our life, everything changes. Choose to engage your beautiful mind. You have the power to change everything with it, your thoughts, your emotions, your actions and your results. But first you have to choose to engage: to click autopilot off and go through the emotions in life.
You are worth it.
[end music]
And this was fascinating to read. I sent this on June 13 of 2019. It took me some effort to find the actual copy. I've bumped up my analogies a lot since then. I've added the idea of your protector or some people call it an ego who is actually on your side and working very hard to protect you. But we need to take the time to train our protector in a way that we get to embrace and live into our life.
If you want to dive in more, I'll put links in the show notes.
And don't you dare forget that you are amazing. 💚

Hello, my amazing friend. 👋
Welcome to my first Quick Take episode!
Inspiration hit me just as I was wrapping up recording episode 160 to look back at some content (no plan) and see if I could come up with three quick episodes that way. I did!
I love this idea for reviewing content from the past, and it provides an easy way to deliver weekly episodes again.
Let's see how this goes!
As always, I'm cheering you on! 🎉

Your Empty Nest Coach, Christine, reviews a past email sent to only one person.
📄 Full transcript:
This is an empty nest success quick take. A quick episode, in between my monthly episodes, where I look back at content I created before, and share it briefly. Enjoy!
[level-up music]
It feels right to look at the very first email I ever sent as part of Your Empty Nest Coach. I use Active Campaign, so I went into my emails and saw what I sent.
In May of 2019, I was testing the system. And I sent an email to one singular person. That was me!
The title of that email was Thursday, thoughts about “That thing.” I love(d) the idea of having a Thursday thoughts about email: just quick thoughts.
I tend to be way more wordy these days. And looking at this, I like how short and sweet this is. It didn't yet have as much to share either, though.
So here's what I said to myself:
[music plays under this segment (reading)]
That thing you keep thinking about, that thing you keep saying, “I'll do it later.”
It is time.
Time to make a plan and honor yourself by starting now.
Do it.
I believe in you.
I even have a little meme there. I was fancy.
[end music]
Here I am, years later, looking at this email that I sent to myself just to test things. Basically, I was creating content that I wanted to receive from others.
Looking back at this very first email (that I sent myself) makes me incredibly thankful that I did make the plan; that I did honor myself by starting. The me [of] back then wouldn't believe the things that I have accomplished in this time.
It has been slow and steady, beautiful, stressful (sometimes), messy for sure.
I've felt all the emotions, but I'm ever so thankful that past me did take the time to make a plan.
The plan doesn't have to be your boss.
The plan can be vague.
Sometimes just making the plan is the first step.
Make making the plan fun. And guess what, you don't have to accomplish everything that you want tomorrow.
Have fun with it!
And my friend, you are amazing. 💚

Hello, my amazing friend. 👋
Inspiration versus Motivation: it has been on my mind in all areas of my life.
In this episode, I share the idea of giving your child(ren) space to be inspired.
As I listened back to the episode, "inspirational parenting" came to mind to sum this up.
However, how I explain those two words here and what first comes to mind for you may be vastly different. I'd love to know your thoughts!
As always, I'm cheering you on! 🎉
💬 "Give your children the space to be inspired to have a relationship with you: wouldn’t all of us much rather be with people who love us for who we are rather than remind us who we aren’t?"

I almost didn't publish this one.
However, it has given me a bit of closure, and if it helps one person, it is worth sharing. 💚
In this episode, I share some of my personal journey as my husband and I transition toward divorce. I also share things that have helped me - and much more.

Hello, my amazing friend!
🗨 "To my friends who dislike this day because they are a Mother but their family just treats it like any other day: Yes, this happens. Please remember this one day is not the be all and end all to how they show your love. They love you, but they may not show it today. If you are still having a hard time feeling thankful, go back to my first two comments above and try looking at life a bit differently. Then treat yourself today. You are worth it."

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
When this episode goes live, I'll be in my car, traveling to see my daughter's senior art show, and then will bring her home for winter break a couple of days later. Honestly, when she headed off to campus, I did not have high expectations that her school would continue on-campus through Thanksgiving. It is nice to have a pleasant surprise in 2020 - one that requires no major thought work.
In this episode, I mention the idea of a motherhood memory book and share my podcast plans for the remainder of 2020.

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
This topic seems to be either a big part of your life or is a taboo topic in what I've witnessed. I haven't run into many humans in my age range that comfortably discuss divorce - except for a fab podcaster I mention in this episode. Even when a divorce doesn't personally impact someone, the discomfort is almost always visible when divorce is mentioned in a conversation.
Somehow, this is surprising in 2020, despite the level of surprises in 2020.
Divorce is a word. We choose how much power we allow the WORD to have in our life. If you are in the process of a divorce, outside of the financial and legal implications (I can't speak to those), you do have the opportunity to move forward in a way that will serve you well - or not.
🗨 "Life is a beautiful mess. Make it YOUR beautiful mess and create a masterpiece going forward. You get to decide who you’ll be. Don’t think for a moment that you are defined by divorce. You are more than divorced. You are amazing you, who happened to have experienced divorce."

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Breaks benefit us. We know this.
Why, then, is it incredibly difficult for us to take the time for ourselves? As mothers, we tend to be experts at not taking breaks. So much so that when we do have downtime, we may not be sure what to do with ourselves.
Hmm, a micro-level of the whole empty nest experience, isn't it?
It might be thirty minutes sitting in your car in your driveway or a parking lot with your favorite music, or it might be more than that. Find something that will rejuvenate you in some way, and do it.
Head to your CEO of Your Life's Toolbox for inspiration.
You are amazing. Now take some time for yourself to uncover a bit more amazing-ness than you are allowing yourself to see right now.💚

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
In this episode, I spill the beans on an embarrassing moment in my middle school years. I had not planned to dive into that story, but ideas and concepts sometimes appear, and I go with the flow.
Goodness gracious, there is so much power in laughing at yourself.
This episode topic originated from an Instagram Reel where I poked fun at "life coaches" (mostly myself) and our my abundant use of analogies.
And when I say extreme use - a few of you thought I was serious with my Reel - which made me laugh at myself more. 😂 Thank you for that.
Consider for a moment what life would be like if you laughed at yourself a bit more: not in a cruel way but a, "Well, I see the silliness in that, and I don't take myself too seriously," kind of way.
In the end, it may alleviate the pain a bit when another human laughs because you've already released the power the situation could have held on your life.
Cheers and Giggles!

Have you experienced being peaceful and then having someone ask you, "what is wrong?" or said, "what is wrong with you; why are you upset?"
It seems bizarre. But if your behavior is different from what others are used to, they are interpreting your change as not calm, while all the while, you are feeling an inner stillness.

Some years the unexpected is more the norm than the norm (whatever that means). The unexpected has a way of leveling us up, stretching us, and making us stronger. When we focus on a specific project or route for our lives, the unexpected may cause gut reactions such as,
Sure, that could be the case, but when we zoom out to the bigger picture of our life, it might only be time to move that project to the warming oven for a bit until other things have matured. You'll never go wrong if you consider both before making a big decision.

An opportunity to hide, an opportunity to grow, an opportunity to rise to the challenge, and opportunity to dig deep within ourselves - to question beliefs that we thought were “right” but maybe it is time to look at the world with new eyes."

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Intuition. What are your thoughts about it? I share mine in this episode.
🗨 "My theory is that much of a human’s unsettledness, or restlessness, has more to do with not following their own intuition/guidance/GPS, than to do with the outside world. Internal peace is life changing, and then, you know how to take the next step. It’s so worth the discomfort to discover it. But then, trusting it is the next big step."

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Here we go. Another attempt at college during a pandemic. What an adventure for all of us - whether your child is heading back to campus with face masks, symptom monitoring, physical distancing, and no group hangouts, or if they are home.
No matter the choices that your family has made, motherhood is an adventure. Empty nesting shows up in our lives a little bit differently for each of us, but in the end, we all are doing our best to navigate this thing called life. If you need help discovering your future self, I'm here for you when you are ready to get to work.
Take deep breaths, my empty nest friend (or future empty nest friend), and do your best to enjoy the ride.
🗨 "I thought I would do a quick rundown of resources that I have available to you as you adjust to the empty nest - and for some of you the not-so-empty-nest."

I had another topic scheduled for today, but with my clients, friends, and colleagues struggling with figuring out their fall season this year due to school changes, I sat down in front of the mic to share some unscripted thoughts with you. Forgive the rabbit trails. 🐰
My friend, please know that while the next few months look like a hot mess, you can handle it.
Here are some thoughts to try on. Adjust as needed. 💚
Let's be real. Sometimes this is needed.

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
If your child is scheduled to head back to campus in four to six weeks, you may have questions about how to best prepare for campus during COVID.
In this episode, I have great fun chatting with Dr. Jill about this topic. We talk about forms, checklists, favorite chapters of her new book, and so much more!
Her book, The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook, Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness, is the perfect reference book for both you and your child. I give it my five happy chick rating, and I invite you to listen to the full episode.

For those who are freaking out about the empty nest years. It is time to make the rest of your life the best of your life!Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,
Fall 2020: some of our children's schools have plans for an on-campus return, and the campus won't be the campus our child(ren) left or visited. Life is different, and campus life will be no exception.
While our daughter is scheduled to head back to college in less than six weeks, that may or may not come to fruition. 2020 has a sneaky way of showing us that plans are rarely concrete. In the meantime, the best thing our family can do is prep for a return to campus with the knowledge we have now. In this episode, I share some things we are doing to prepare for an on-campus semester.
