Hi ladies, It’s been a little while since I’ve actively been here, and I want to share why. Maybe some of you can relate. This past year, I intentionally took a step back to focus on what truly makes me happy at this stage of life — after decades of being in full-time mom mode, building businesses, and putting everyone else first. I needed space to pause, listen inward, and recalibrate. Along the way, the term “empty nester” — and everything it seemed to imply — began to feel wrong to me. I was tired of carrying sadness and loneliness that didn’t feel like they belonged in this chapter. I began to wonder whether those feelings were truly mine, or if they had been quietly shaped by societal expectations. As we all recognize, the transition from being a full-time MOM to a mom of grown kids can be surprisingly challenging. Even when our kids are thriving, something shifts inside us — our rhythm, our identity, our sense of purpose. And it’s not something we prepare for or talk about enough. I still believe that talking through these changes together, in community, can make a difference. I’d love to host a Zoom call soon to: • Check in and see how everyone is really doing • Talk about what progress you’re noticing • Share what still feels missing or unclear • Explore what kind of community and connection would feel most supportive right now I still very much intend to create and grow this community — for anyone who feels called to it — and this feels like a beautiful place to reconnect and see where we go next, together. If you’d like to join the call, please comment YES below - respond to the poll - and let me know what days/times generally work for you. So glad you’re here 🤍 Let’s make things happen.

We're excited to announce our very first virtual meeting for this group via ZOOM on Tuesday, November 19th, 2024 at 7PM. Please be sure to sign up at this Eventbrite link - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/in-full-force-zoom-meeting-tickets-1079606244339 - and be sure to join us for the very first virtual meet-up of In Full Force’s Free Birds community on Zoom! This is an opportunity for all our Free Birds (formerly empty nesters) to come together, connect, share experiences and find solutions. We’ll dive into the unique challenges and emotions of transitioning from a full house to an empty nest, explore what we’re each facing, and support one another as we embrace this new phase of life. Plus, the meeting will include a special guided intuition session with Leah M. Hill, transformational energy healer and intuitive medium, to help us tap into our inner wisdom. Let’s lift each other up, share ideas, and help each other soar!

Hello Everyone! How exciting to claim our own group. Thank you Julie and In Full Force and thank you for including me! My kids are grown… in their 30’s so I’ve been waiting for a way to connect for a while. Hope there are ladies who like to TRAVEL in this group because that’s my favorite thing to do-that and sewing, especially for my 3 grands. I look forward to meeting new friends!
