Consider your new role as a parent as you enter the empty nest years. Thinking of yourself as a coach can take a lot of pressure off of you. Learn how to be the best you while they learn how to be the best them. Love your emerging adult (or grown adult) - showing up in love is always best. It isn’t always easy to wait to be needed - that happens often in the empty nest - and then “mom, dad” - it is go-time. 😉
The skills you learn here (for you), will allow you to inherently become better at holding space for your child(ren).
No matter who you are now, you can look forward to more of the same or becoming someone totally different. Maybe you want to become someone who continues to grow, learn and become more amazing each day. But, ultimately, you are on your own path, and have to take the first steps. Either way, I’m cheering you on. I can do that from the sidelines and hold space for you!🎉
How do you feel about considering yourself as a coach to your child(ren)?
What kind of coach would you be? How is that different from how you've shown up thus far as their parent?
Does your life today look the way you would have imagined it ten years ago?
If you could drop into ten years in the future and imagine your perfect idea of life, what does that look like?
"A gift I can give my child is the space for them to be them; to win; to lose; to fail and to learn."
"My role as a parent is going to be different, and that is okay."
"I embrace my reality knowing their are growth opportunities for all of us!"
"I have the opportunity to see my child(ren) embrace their goals and dreams and watch them bloom."
was there something today that brought you joy/made you laugh/got your creative juices going? If not, take a look at this list for some ideas of things you may want to try in the future.
Hello, amazing human, we are on video three in the 30 day challenge to Empty Nest Success. In this one, I'm going to add a couple comments before and then share the video. We are talking about how to transition your relationship with your child or children going forward. I often hear the comment, "My time as a mother is over." Some people go as far as, "Everything I've worked for is over."
It is not over, it's just different. And that different could be different. Or it could be different. Or it could be different. This is the work that we're doing is to find a place where you can embrace the transition. It's going to happen, the transition will happen. It will transition in a way that more than likely is different from what you're expecting. If you think about your own life, you know, 10 years ago, and what you thought your life would look like today, I am willing to bet it's not 100% correct. And the same is going to happen for the next 10 years, and so on. Embracing the current situation, the current reality, and knowing that the transition is coming, and adding thought to your thoughts, things like that's okay. So my role as a parent is going to be different. And that's okay. That might be the best way to start transitioning into this new role for you. And if you were to work with me, my goal is for you to internalize a lot of the things that that we do together, and for you to do that for your kids, but not saying this is what we're doing, just begin to hold space for them to realize that they are their own human who has goals and dreams. And you get to watch them bloom. That that's incredible. Incredible, and what a privilege. So with that being said, let's watch the video. And as always, you'll find additional resources journal prompts below this video.
Today's topic is to consider your new role as a parent, the coach, as the years progressed, it makes sense to transition your relationship. thinking of yourself as a coach for your child can take a lot of pressure off of you imagine a relationship long term where your whole purpose is to love them not to solve their problems. Ultimately, this is their life to live. And when you come together, cheer each other on, give them the space to be them to win, to lose, to fail and to learn. Are you ready to transition into that new role? And what kind of coach would you be? You are amazing!
