Even as a women’s trauma therapist and transformational coach…I wasn’t “prepared” for the emotional rollercoaster of this complex season of life .

🩵The profound grief mixed with the immense excitement of watching my children launch and explore …and seeing empty bedrooms ❤️‍🩹

it’s a real mind F #!k! 😂

🩵It’s what the goal is/was all along (roots/wings right ? ) and then emotions comes in like a tidal wave ! 🌊

But the term “empty nest syndrome”?

😡In my opinion , it is not only pathologizing but DEPRESSING and simply UNTRUE.

🪺Thus…THE OPEN NEST PROJECT is born!

🪺A guided community of women leaning into all the parts of our selves…

🩵YOUR LIFE ISN’T EMPTY IT’S OPEN!

🩵More details about The Open Nest Project- a space for women like me (and you ) to explore the themes of identity related to motherhood …

To become curious about who we are during these transitions and shifts (*pssst…you are always a mom)
🪺To give a space, connection and compassion ) and real life tools to rediscover , reimagine …to both grieve and to dream and look to the future together !

🪺I’ll be sharing more details in the upcoming weeks …

If this feels close to your heart, stay tuned 💛

💛While we aren’t launching YET…feel free to comment “Open” if you want the details when we open our “doors” to all the mamas !!

Coming FALL OF 2025!

Andrea Gibson…such poignant words.

A month before her passing in 2017, Louise L. Hay wrote something that still resonates deeply:

“I’ll be turning 90 this Saturday. My younger years were filled with fear, but now my days are filled with trust and confidence.

My life didn’t really start to make sense until my mid-40s. At 50, I began writing—on a very small scale. My first year, I earned just \$42. At 55, I ventured into the world of computers, which terrified me, but I took classes and overcame my fears. Today, I own three computers and travel everywhere with my iPad and iPhone. At 60, I planted my first garden. Around that time, I joined kids’ art classes and started painting. In my 70s and 80s, I became even more creative, and my life just kept getting richer and more fulfilling.

I still write, give talks, and teach by example. I’m always reading, learning, and growing. I run a successful publishing company and two nonprofits. I’m an avid organic gardener and grow most of my own food. I love people and parties, have many loving friends, and have traveled the world. I still paint and take classes. My life has become a treasure trove of experiences.

I want to encourage you to consciously shape your later years and realize that they can be the most rewarding chapter of your life. Your future is always bright, no matter your age. Let these years become your treasure years.”

With love,
Louise Hay
