THE GIFT OF EMPTY NESTING


A time for self-discovery and re-invention.

I’m passionate about helping empty nesting moms whose identity has been tied to child-rearing for so long, navigate this new stage of life with awareness, intention, and the excitement of what’s possible.

As your empty nesting guide, I’m here to help you re-discover who you were before you had kids and what you most want to share with the world in this new stage of life.

MY STORY

In the midst of this journey, I had an ah-ha moment: There were countless Moms, just like me, grappling with similar transitions, yearning to rediscover their purpose beyond motherhood.

Armed with this new understanding and confidence, I embarked on a mission—to empower Moms undergoing the empty nest phase.

My goal was clear: to help Moms unearth their strengths, embrace their gifts, and chart a course towards a future aligned with their true purpose.

Today, as Jennifer James, the Empty Nesting Coach, my mission is to stand as a beacon of hope for Moms embarking on their transformative journeys. My heart's desire is to offer support, guidance, and encouragement—to help Moms envision a future brimming with possibilities.

For I firmly believe that when mothers are supported, not only do they flourish, but their families and communities thrive in harmony.

For nearly two decades, my life revolved around motherhood. From joining moms' groups to volunteering at schools, every moment was dedicated to nurturing my two boys.

As the time approached for my youngest to spread his wings and embark on his college journey, a profound realization washed over me. I wasn't just preparing my kids for new beginnings; I was preparing for my own. It was time to redefine myself. I was ready to start my Empty Nesting coaching business.

With my newfound awareness, I discovered that empty nesting wasn’t only going to be about letting go of what was, it was also going to be embracing a new beginning. I was giving myself permission to grow into my 2.0 self of Empty Nesting Coach!

While navigating this life transition, an unexpected challenge popped up, self-sabotage. It was my old nemesis of “not being ready enough.”

With self-reflection and lots of support from my mentor coaches, I uncovered the courage to embrace my new truth–I was a woman with valuable skills and insights to share.
