Hey there, friend! 🦋 In this powerful episode of Adulting with Autism, we’re talking all things parenting, identity, and transitioning into adulthood—with a twist.

Meet Hannah Bankier, career transition coach, mama of two, and founder of Birdie Launcher™, a movement that’s redefining what it means to be an “empty nester.” Because the truth is—the nest isn’t empty… you’re still in it.

💡 In this episode, we explore:

• Why “empty nesting” feels outdated and disempowering

• How to embrace the Birdie Launch™ phase with joy, not dread

• Tips for helping your autistic or neurodivergent young adult gain independence

• Reclaiming your own identity after full-time parenting

• The 3 stages of launching: Grief, Relief, and Joy—and why they’re all valid

Whether you’re preparing for your first launch or waving goodbye to your youngest, this conversation is full of warmth, wit, and wisdom to guide you through the next chapter.
