It’s common for mothers of adult children to experience regret over having:worked outside of the home and missed time with their growing children left a career to stay home and raise children, thereby losing temporary or permanent professional traction We can either use regret as a catalyst to get curious about what we really value most and commit to creating that now, OR, we can stay stuck in disappointment and longing for a different past.

How To Reinvent Your Empty Nest From The Bottom Up

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/09/03

When we work from the “bottom up”, we clarify what we need to strengthen in our foundations in order to build a life that is sustainably enjoyable and satisfying. As an empty-nester you may be tempted to fill your days, stay busy, or bring in tons of new things. But, I invite you to reflect on your last or current stage, and get curious regarding what activities, commitments, and relationships you want to: Keep? Let go of? Create anew?

Confidence and Self-Confidence As An Empty-Nester

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/08/27

Confidence requires proof or evidence. Think of something you do really well and have evidence that you’re good at. You’re “confident” that you can do this thing well.Self-Confidence does NOT require evidence. It is the commitment to yourself that regardless of what happens or what someone else says or does, you will have your own back. We have our back by: Sleeping/resting Eating well/hydrating Exercising Monitoring our stress levels and calming or energizing our bodies when needed. Saying NO

The Easy, Essential Few In The Empty Nest Stage

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/08/20

To champion and thrive in the empty nest stage, we must be willing to identify and prioritize the essential few activities, passions, and relationships that truly matter the most. ““The way of the Essentialist means living by design, not by default. Instead of making choices reactively, the Essentialist deliberately distinguishes the vital few from the trivial many, eliminates the nonessentials, and then removes obstacles so the essential things have clear, smooth passage. In other words,

How To Stop Catering To Dysfunctional People

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/08/13

So often in dysfunctional families, the members cater to the most dysfunctional person in the group, allowing that individual to set the tone. This can also occur in the workplace, friend circles, or in any group of people in which the members “walk on egg shells” to appease and/or prevent an emotionally immature reaction. I invite you to consider these questions: When do you notice investing your limited time, energy, and resources into the lowest common denominator? When do you allow someone

Only You Can Determine Your Value and Worth

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/08/06

We cannot delegate the determination of our value and worth to other people. It’s almost as if we’re acting like hourly employees in our relationships with others and people-pleasing them in order to be “paid” with admiration, validation, or respect. We are the only ones who can determine our value and worth and create relationships that align with that value and worth. As a life coach, I’ve determined what I charge for coaching. Potential clients then get to decide if they want to invest in

The difference between rest/playing doing impactful “work” is experiencing the fulfillment that only comes when we challenge ourselves to utilize our gifts and talents. When we rest, we are prioritizing these types of rest: The 7 Types of Rest You Need When we “play”, are are engaging in these types of activities: Find Your Play Personality But, when we’re engaged in impactful, meaningful “work”, we: Identify our natural gifts: What comes easily to you?

The 2 Emotions Every Empty Nester Must Embrace

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/07/23

There are two emotions I encourage you to practice feeling regularly in order to embrace life in the empty-nest stage: acceptance and willingness. When we feel acceptance, we are thinking something along the lines of: “I’m no longer going to argue with what is or what I need to do in order to thrive.” We are more likely to: step out of resistance and a tendency to complain allow ourselves to feel all of our emotions and move through them tell the truth about our current circumstances And, we

Finding Purpose As An Empty-Nester

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/07/16

We overcomplicate feeling “purposeful” as empty-nesters. The solution is pretty simple - identify your gifts (what comes so easily to you that you may disregard it), and learn how to apply your gifts to your passions (anything you’re curious about or drawn to). We encounter resistance to living our passion when we lack the awareness of our passions and gifts, and or the willingness or ability to champion or embody one or both. “Your gifts don’t tell you what areas of life you’re passionate about -

Your Empty Nest Self-Concept

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/07/09

“Your self-concept is simply the collection of thoughts that you have about yourself. These thoughts make up your beliefs about you and who you are. Your self-concept determines how you feel and it determines the results that you get (or don’t get) for yourself.”Kristen Carder/Focused with Kristen Carder I encourage you to take about 5 minutes to complete the following exercise: Write down every thought or belief you have about yourself as an empty-nester - in other words, who you believe you’ll

What Is Inflaming or Irritiating Your Life?

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/07/03

“Freedom starts when you can identify the aggravation you’ve been accommodating for so long.”Danielle LaPorte When we’re “free”, we are intentional regarding how we invest our time, energy, and resources. When we’re “accodomating”, we’re buffering difficult emotions with unhelpful habits and choices. I invite you to consider these questions: Where in your life do things feel inflamed or monotonously irritating? Why are you currently accommodating these aggravations? If you stop accommodating,

Decision-Making Overwhelm

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/06/25

We all struggle with decision-making at times, whether it’s packing for a trip, deciding what to spend money on, or what to change or shift in our lives. Sometimes, decision-making can feel overwhelming, and even unsafe. Here are a few questions for your consideration: What narratives play in your mind surrounding decisions? (ie: “If you make the wrong decision, the consequences will be irreparable.”) How were you taught to make decisions? Whose voice is in your head when you’re trying to make

Just Choose

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/06/18

We all tend to overcomplicate choices and decisions. But when we embrace the “just choose” mindset, we practice choosing BEFORE we have clarity or despite the fact that our choices may be imperfect. I invite you to consider these questions: When do you notice not “just choosing” in your life? What clarity are you trying to find before you choose? What if clarity is only available during or after, and never before? If you know you could use some support and encouragement as you “just choose” and

Why Moms Resist Help

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/06/11

As mothers, we often resist asking for or receiving help because we don’t want to be a burden for others. Accepting help also frees us to work in our own Zone of Genius. You have the right to ask for and receive what feels like “help” to you. Being in a state of hypervigilance can prevent us from asking for or receiving help. If we’ve experienced being let down by others, asking for help can feel too vulnerable. If you know you could use some support and encouragement as you practice willingness

As a mother, it’s common to forget what you find truly valuable or what really matters to you. I invite you to consider to these questions: What activities, experiences, or relationships are genuinely valuable to you? What really matters to you? What doesn’t?

Why Empty Nesters Aren't Satisfied With More Of The Same

Intelligent Intoxication ·

2025/05/21

If you’re feeling unsatisfied, stuck, or unfulfilled in your empty nest stage, it’s likely because you’re trying to live the same life you shared with your children when they were home. Much as a full schedule fails to ensure fulfillment, staying stuck in the emptiness of a life stage that’s ended will not be satisfying. We must be willing to create a different life once our children grow up and move on. While we’re raising children, we often lack the time, training, or awareness to prepare for

A New Way To Measure Success As A Parent

2025/05/14

I invite you to reconsider the way that you measure your success as a parent with these indicators:Did you keep showing up even when it was challenging and you were “squirming” because you didn’t know “everything”? Did you offer your kids opportunities to find and develop their passions and interests? Did you make continuous progress as a parent because you were willing to keep trying new approaches to parenting and acknowledging when you made a mistake and repairing it? If you know you could use

2025/05/07

If you’re in your empty nest stage of life or on the brink of it, it’s crucial that you prioritize identities in addition to being a “parent” or “mother”. I invite you to consider exploring these new identities… are you a/an: Artist or creator? Explorer or seeker? Caregiver or nurturer? Teacher or sage? Performer or entertainer? Visionary or innovator? Athlete or warrior? Builder or engineer? Healer or alchemist? Advocate or activist? Storyteller or communicator? Organizer or steward? If you know
