Feeling so many feels all at the same time- It’s something moms do best, isn’t it?  And sometimes our big feelings can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how you look at it. But if you’re a mom whose kids are grown, and they’re out of your home of beginning to leave your home, I want to give you some encouragement today. An emptynest or almost emptynest doesn’t have to be “either or”.  It can and should be “both and”. Our family life is changing in a big way and it’s only natural to feel a lot of big emotions. Feeling sad that your kids are grown doesn’t make you weak.  Just like being happy for your kids or excited for the opportunity to write your own new chapter doesn’t make you any less of a mom. You don’t have to feel one or the other.  It’s ok to hold space for and acknowledge all of your feelings. There’s nothing wrong with you.  And, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. As you move into a new year that brings new goals and desires, give yourself the gift of the permission to feel both happy, excited, and sad. ❤️#lifeafterkids #momofgrownkids #momofolderkids #mom #emptynest #almostemptynesters #foryou #fyp #midlife #MomsofTikTok #momofgrownchildren #momoftiktokchildren #moms #momtok

Experience has taught me this important parenting lesson… The older my kids get, the less they need me to tell them what to do or fix things for them. More often they need me to zip my lip and listen to what they have to say. Oof.  🤦‍♀️ That’s not easy for a self proclaimed problem solver and big-hearted mother who longs to shield her kids from suffering and the consequences of poor decision making. But, what I’ve learned is that they learn the most from the consequences of their decisions and from their struggles. Moreover, the more I listen instead of lecture, the more they open up, trust me, and come to me. That’s not to say that I no longer parent or advise, I’m a mother!  It’s in my blood!  And, they still need to hear from someone with more life experience than they have from time to time. But I do find myself being intentional about staying very present and attentive when they want to talk and keeping quiet and listening far more often ❤️  So if you’re a mom of older kids, remember this… Listening trumps lecturing every time ❤️#lifeafterkids #momofgrownkids #momofolderkids #mom #emptynest #almostemptynesters #foryou #fyp #MomsofTikTok #momofgrownchildren #momoftiktokchildren #moms #momtok #emptynester

I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry 🤷‍♀️ It is kinda laughable- the whirl wind of the holidays.  All the planning, shopping, wrapping, cooking, cleaning, and entertaining.   Then January hits and boom, the house is quiet, the kids leave, and the darkness of early winter evenings are no longer combatted with the twinkling holiday lights.   It can leave the best of us feeling sad and a little empty. The post holiday blues are no joke, so here’s a few simple and practical tips to get through them a little easier… 1️⃣focus on setting goals for the new year, while putting energy and focus into what you want 2025 to look like.  The life after kids goals framework is a huge help. 2️⃣consider using a light box if you really struggle with the shorter days and take 1000-5000 IU’s of vitamin D with K2 daily 3️⃣move your body every day.  If you’re struggling with sleep and low mood, take a short walk outside as soon as you get up  4️⃣connect with a friend over coffee or tea.  Don’t discount the power of community 5️⃣organize and declutter your home.  You may be surprised what it does for your focus and emotional health. This time of year it’s so easy to fall into the trap of sitting around feeling sorry for yourself.  Don’t do it, friend.  Instead, channel your focus and energy into something positive and productive daily. ❤️ Spring will be here before we know it 🙌😘 #lifeafterkids #momofgrownkids #momofolderkids #mom #emptynest #almostemptynesters #foryou #fyp #midlife #MomsofTikTok #momofgrownchildren #momoftiktokchildren #moms #momtok #

Being a mom of grown kids has taught me an invaluable lesson… Be present and connect with your kids and loved ones whenever the opportunity arises because life is constantly changing and time is flying by.❤️ And usually the best connections and the happiest memories happen in the smallest and unlikeliest of moments. You will never regret the times you chose to put your phone away so you could simply laugh, talk, or even play a game around the kitchen counter with your family, and your kids won’t either. We don’t have the luxury of having them all under our roof all the time, so when you do, don’t miss it ❤️#lifeafterkids #momofgrownkids #momofolderkids #mom #emptynest #almostemptynesters #foryou #fyp #midlife #MomsofTikTok #momofgrownchildren #momoftiktokchildren #moms #momtok
You can have a million dreams and goals for your life now that the kids are grown. But without your health, those goals and dreams will be difficult to pursue. Take good care of your body.  It’s the only place you have to live.  -Jim Rohn #lifeafterkids #momofgrownkids #momofolderkids #mom #emptynest #almostemptynesters #foryou #fyp #midlife #MomsofTikTok #momofgrownchildren #momoftiktokchildren #moms #momtok
It’s so true, when you declutter your surrounding environment, you declutter your mind ❤️#lifeafterkids #momofgrownkids #momofolderkids #mom #emptynest #almostemptynesters #foryou #fyp #MomsofTikTok #momofgrownchildren #momoftiktokchildren #moms #momtok #emptynester
Finding more purpose begins with the basics: good emotional and physical health. This year, consider prioritizing both ❤️#lifeafterkids #momofgrownkids #momofolderkids #mom #emptynest #almostemptynesters #foryou #fyp #midlife #MomsofTikTok #momofgrownchildren #momoftiktokchildren #moms #momtok
