Life Design for Empty Nesters

One thing we've noticed as we've explored the “empty nest mom” experience is that there aren’t a whole lot of resources out there to support women going through this time of life. Interestingly, there’s a lot more attention paid to menopause (which, of course, also has an impact but offers much less in the opportunity department!)

Even though approaching the empty nest is a major transition in a mom’s life with so many emotional and life-changing effects, there is little acknowledgment of the profound impact it may have…and even less attention paid to the importance of the next chapter.

You may be done raising your children (in theory;) but you are far from done!

We consider this an underrated and underappreciated opportunity for women to step powerfully into a deeply purposeful and fulfilling phase of life, striking a balance between making a meaningful contribution and having fun! The question is, what do you want it to look like—and how can you get there?

At Inspired Life by Design are offering a Life Design program starting in March that will support you in creating a clear and inspiring vision for your "empty nest" future and get you into action so you can transition into your next chapter with less uncertainty and more confidence and ease.

Imagine your empty nest future...

• You have strong relationships with your children and the other significant people in your life.
• Your days are filled with thoughtfully chosen and meaningful activities.
• You are finally doing the work you love or enjoy volunteering, making a difference that makes your heart sing!
• You are fulfilling a dream you have put on hold or exploring new hobbies.
• You’re travelling to all those places you’ve always wanted to go to and relaxing and having fun with loved ones.
• You have a deep sense of fulfillment and joy.  You are clear on who you are and you are living the life you’ve chosen and created for yourself. 

All of this can be true for you, especially when you thoughtfully craft a clear vision for your empty nest future and start taking inspired action to make it your life.

Isn’t that something worth investing in?

Navigating transitions can be difficult and frustrating. Life Design is a proven step-by-step process that helps you gain clarity about what you want, provides you with the accountability you need to take action and elevates your mindset so you can move forward with confidence and excitement about what lies ahead. Life Design will accelerate the transition process for you so you can figure out where you want to be and get there faster!

And, you get to do this within a supportive community of like-minded people.
