Life continuously presents us with changes—subtle shifts that shape our daily routines and significant transformations that redefine our paths. But growth is not a guaranteed companion to change; it remains a deliberate choice. Through engaging conversations and personal reflections, I've come to realize that embracing growth is about more than mere personal development—it's about impacting those around you as well.

John Maxwell hit the nail on the head: "Change is inevitable, growth is optional." In recognizing this truth, I've embarked on a journey to not only improve myself but also create ripples of positivity that extend beyond my immediate circle. The journey of growth involves choosing to succeed, perceiving challenges instead of problems, and celebrating each small victory along the path to personal development.

Are you ready to embrace change and choose growth? Take the first step today, and remember—every action you take can lead to transformation.

Through self-reflection and resilience, Heidi’s story demonstrates that love can be rediscovered at any stage of life. Her experiences offer hope and practical insights into finding love after divorce, blending families, and embracing vulnerability for personal growth. Whether you're freshly single or have long been searching, Heidi's journey is an inspiring guide to stepping confidently into the world of midlife dating.

The empty nest. It's a time of change, of rediscovering who you are outside of parenthood. I recently walked the Camino de Santiago, searching for my next adventure and what I found was a deeper understanding of myself and the incredible potential of this stage of life. Join me as I share the lessons I learned and how you can create a fulfilling life in your empty nest!

As empty nesters, we often find ourselves grappling with feelings of self-doubt that can prevent us from pursuing our dreams. After years of nurturing our children, we may question our own abilities and sense of purpose. Drawing from my personal journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro, I learned that embracing our own pace—what I dubbed the mindset of “MPole, MPole,” or “slowly, slowly”—allows us to take meaningful steps toward our goals. In this post, I’ll share how acknowledging self-doubt, setting achievable goals, and practicing self-compassion can transform our approach to this new phase of life. Let's embark on this journey together and discover the power of intentionality in reaching our dreams.

You’re empty nesting ALL wrong.

Here’s why:

You’re waiting for your kids to call.

You’re hoping your relationship with your partner will improve.

You’re waiting for something to change.

You’re hoping for the life you had when the kids were little.

You’re waiting to become a grandparent.

Waiting and hoping is not how you live an empty nest life you love.

Waiting and hoping is a recipe for disaster, sadness, and feeling stuck.

You’re waiting and hoping because it feels safer to wait and hope on others or crossing your fingers that things will miraculously change.

Even though life flat out sucks right now it actually feels safer than…

Somehow you want to believe you are the only one feeling a sense of loss, a lack of purpose, and an identity crisis as your kids prepare to head off to college this fall.

You’re not a unicorn.

You’re a human experiencing all the emotions that come with a big life transition.

And those emotions are not unique to you.

A friend reminded me of this recently:

You have to be bad at something before you can be good at it.

Of course my brain went straight to this:

Is that true of parenting and empty nesting?

Do you need to be bad at it before you can be good at it?
