Can we talk about the part of motherhood nobody throws you a baby shower for?

The day you realize your children are building lives that don’t revolve around you anymore.

You raised them to be independent. You wanted them to grow up, find their way, and do well.

So why does it hurt when they do?

Christine didn’t expect that transition to hit her the way it did and when you hear what she experienced growing up, you’ll understand why this chapter of motherhood brought up so much more than an empty house.

This conversation goes places I think a lot of moms need to hear 👂🏾

🎙️ Episode 87 with Christine in Progress is NOW PLAYING on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts!

Moms, I want to know: Are you looking forward to the empty-nest years, dreading them, or already living them?

🔥 Share this with a mom raising teenagers or navigating life after her children leave home.
