Are you experiencing or about to experience that time of life where the kids are leaving home? Are you thinking: "What do we do now?"
This episode is for you and anyone who is heading for the "empty nest" transition. Karen Herbert is a wellness coach who specializes in helping women and couples who are trying to find their purpose and meaning as parents, partners and people after the kids strike out on their own.
Karen's journey started about 5 years ago when she was feeling overwhelmed and burdened. She started looking for that "spark" to make changes to release what was holding her back so she could move on to the next season of life. She started working with a life coach who helped her to be intentional and empowered to put herself into the mix of what was happening and let go of that "mom guilt" so many of us experience. She has a wonderful way of explaining how she brought herself "into the mix" of her family life and how much it helped everyone.
Her experiences led her to become a life coach along with her husband and her focus is helping people do the internal work necessary to engage in this transition intentionally. Finding purpose and discovering their gifts and strengths will help empower those in this wonderful time of life. You will be inspired by Karen's story and experiences!
Karen Herbert is a certified professional wellness coach, the founder and CEO of Themelios Coaching, and the creator of the Life In Abundance a 6-month coaching program for midlife women, where she helps women find the purpose they crave as they transition to an empty nest.
