Empty nest reset guide

A quieter house can be lovely. It can also feel very odd when you have spent years

wishing for five minutes of peace and suddenly have more of them than you know what

to do with.

I am Catherine, a mum to four daughters, a grandma and a nearly empty nester. My

youngest is still at home. Being their mum remains a full-time position in many ways,

but the shape of that position keeps changing. I am learning to make room for myself

alongside it.

This workbook is for women whose children have left, are preparing to leave or need

them differently now. You might feel proud, relieved, sad, uncertain or all of those

before breakfast. You are welcome here.

You do not need to stop being a mum to discover what else you would like your life to

hold
