What a wonderful book for learning how to start reconstructing your life after your kids leave home. I have a 17-year-old and I cannot even imagine what it would be like not to have her in my home. Having this book helped me realize that there are benefits for both parent and child of when the child leaves home. Learning to be proud of the child you have raised, ready and willing to move out of the home. For so many years, you devote your entire life to your children and then the home is empty one day. The author did a great job of laying out the book in a way to help guide you in to what next steps lie ahead. First, with addressing the feelings of being an empty nester, then moving forward with what to do next. Chapter 6, letting go so they grow, was impactful for me. Everything we strive for as a parent can be summed up in this chapter. I cannot say enough good things about this book. Great for preparing yourself for the empty nest or addressing that you are currently are an empty nester. THis author truly understands the concerns and anxieties of being an empty nester.

After an entire adulthood that has revolved around being a mom (or dad), suddenly having an empty nest can be more than daunting. The feelings of loneliness and depression can be hard to manage, and the separation from children can feel like rejection. The sudden idleness can feel like loss of purpose. But we don't have to accept this as the norm.

This book not only gives the listener a good perspective about the realities of an empty nest, but gives really concrete ways to take charge of your life, cope with the changes, and thrive in the life phases that follow. I also liked the focus on rekindling your marriage, if it has suffered through the years. It was a good reminder that if you once loved your spouse, you can love them again! I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

We have three kids, and I'm not looking forward to seeing them leave "the nest." I cannot imagine how I will be able to manage my emotions when it actually happens. However, this book was a great help in starting my mind churning over the reality of that eventuality. It was written in an empathic tone, and the narration was also performed extremely well. It's practical, insightful, and I highly recommend it. It's much needed for parents like me who are dreading those days and currently feel unprepared.

Wow, this audiobook was just what I needed as an empty nester! The author did a fantastic job of addressing the common feelings and challenges that come with this phase of life, and offered practical and actionable advice for how to navigate them.

What I appreciated most was that the guide acknowledged the difficult emotions that often accompany the empty nest, but also offered a positive and empowering perspective on this transition. I particularly enjoyed the sections on reinventing oneself and decluttering/redecorating the home to cultivate a peaceful environment.

The narration was also top-notch, with a clear and engaging voice that made it easy to follow along. It helped me feel less alone and gave me a roadmap for how to make the most of this exciting new chapter in my life. Overall, I would definitely recommend this audiobook to anyone going through the empty nest phase.

Very practical!
