You're Still Their Mum, but That Can't Be All of You

In today's episode of Empty Nest, Love & Me, we're talking about:

• Who you are beyond being Mum, and why you might feel lost when your children no longer need you in the same way.
• How you can lose touch with yourself, after years of putting your children's needs and everyone else's happiness first.
• Why making space for yourself isn't selfish, and how you can continue to love and support your adult kids while rediscovering your own needs and happiness.
• Why you don't need to rush into reinventing yourself, or fill every spare moment with hobbies just because your life looks different now.
• How to start reconnecting with the woman you've become, by asking yourself what you've missed, what makes you feel like yourself and what you want this next chapter to look like.

A little something to think about this week:

If you weren't making every decision around what everybody else needed from you, what is one thing you would want to make space for in your own life?

You don't have to go back to the woman you were before you had children. You've grown, changed and lived a life full of experiences. This is about getting to know the woman you are today and recognising that your needs, dreams and happiness matter, too.

You're still their mum. But you are also a woman with a life of your own still waiting to be lived.
