If you have kids that are launching out of the home, you may discover that your identity is taking a hit as your role changes within your family.
However you refer to yourself (empty nester, a bird launcher, manager of free range adult kids, free range parents) you NEED to connect with Jay Ramsden!
Jay is "The Empty Nest Coach" and in this episode helps us understand why this shift can feel challenging and offers ways to connect with the future you so you will make this transition successfully.
Some of the questions we’re asking our kids, apply to us at this stage in life as well.
What are you going to do with the rest of your life?
Who are you?
Who do you want to become?
What do you want to do?
This is not just about finding a hobby. He emphasizes the importance of easing up on the demands we’re putting on ourselves about what comes next. Our first step is getting
our handle on our head and our heart. From there he offers:
· Decide who you want to be now that the kids are gone.
· Have a vision for the future.
· Do some of those ‘retirement’ things NOW, don’t wait!
We’re not in a crisis, we’re in an identity EVOLUTION. If you think you’re in a “Challenging time”, remove the lle in the middle of CHALLENGE and what you have is CHANGE. What does the remaining LLE stand for? Let Life Evolve.
Jay’s motto “Every step has purpose” is the reminder there is no one way, or right way, to make this transition. Connect with him so he can continue to walk with you on your journey.
