In this episode of Red Lips Real Talk, the hosts open up about the emotional journey of becoming an empty nester. As children leave home to pursue college or begin independent lives, parents are often left navigating a mix of pride, joy, sadness, and even a shift in identity.

Through personal stories and honest reflection, the conversation explores how to adapt to this new chapter by embracing fresh interests, rediscovering passions, and creating meaningful ways to spend time. The hosts also share coping strategies—from finding comfort in quiet moments to adding humor to the transition—and emphasize the value of nurturing relationships with partners and adult children along the way.

Above all, this episode reminds listeners that while the empty nest can bring grief and adjustment, it also offers opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and the freedom to embrace what comes next.
