In this throwback episode of the Listen Love Launch Podcast, I share my personal struggles with identity and mental health during the empty nest transition after my children graduated. I discuss the profound impact of rediscovering my self-worth and purpose in midlife, aided by a life coach and my friend Elise, which led me to the creation of the journal project and this podcast.

 I detail how attending a conference and joining the Called Creatives community,  reinvigorated my passion and direction. 

I also found inspiration from  Dawn Barton's "Midlife Battle Cry," and share 

 her 21 days of reflective prompts, where I learned the importance of balancing motherhood with personal happiness through self-care and recognizing our own needs.

In today’s episode, Cindy jumps into the beautiful mess that is friendship during our seniors' pivotal moments. She touches on the bittersweet truth that as we gear up for new life chapters, friendships often morph and, sometimes, drift away. And yep, it's a tough cookie to swallow, figuring out who'll be by our side in the next act. Science chimes in with a little nugget of wisdom: the happiest teens are those with a close-knit circle of one or two pals despite being surrounded by a sea of group activities.

But wait, moms aren’t immune to the friendship shuffle either! Cindy sheds light on how recognizing those connections, sparked by our kids’ shared interests, can soften the blow of fading friendships. Her kind reminder that not all friendships are meant for the long haul but are meaningful is like a warm hug for the heart. Adopting an attitude of gratitude for the friendships that have colored our lives makes navigating the upcoming changes a tad easier.
