Your Kids are Leaving Home…

Now What?

A 4-Part Course to Help Your Kids Enter Adulthood Successfully without You Being Gutted by Grief
See what is included in the Empty Nest Full Life Course
From the moment the stick turns blue or the adoption papers are signed, you become a mom.

Your job is to keep track of them, make sure they get enough nutrients and enough sleep.

You take care of their emotional needs, their medical needs, and their physical needs.

Beyond that, you help them learn what they need to learn, make new friends, overcome hard things, grow in their own beliefs, reach for their dreams, and so much more.

And, even though you know it’s not supposed to be your whole life, how can it not become your life?

There are so many details to keep track of… how can any sane person keep track of all of it and not put aside their own wants and needs to a certain degree?

Of course, after doing this for a couple of decades, you’ve gotten good at it.

Your routines are built-in and well-established.

So well-established you don’t even realize the all-day, everyday mental checklists…

Did they eat breakfast?

Did they eat breakfast?

Do they have what they need for school/work?

Do they have what they need for school/work?

Are they feeling ok?

Are they feeling ok?

Are we following our family traditions?

Are we following our family traditions?

Are they growing up well?

Are they growing up well?

Are they _________?

Are they _________?

Then, one day, those routines and checklists are supposed to magically stop.

You’re supposed to turn them off because your child(ren) are grown and should be checking those things off for themselves.

And you’re happy for them (or trying to be) because you know it’s why you had the checklists in the first place… for letting them go and letting them live their own lives.

But you feel like grieving instead of being grateful for the opportunity to see your kids grow.

And you’re wondering…
Now What?

How do you navigate a new normal?

Especially in the absence.

The absence of chaos, clutter, and shouting.

The absence of schedules, practices, and routines.

The absence of hugs, high-fives, and snuggles.

The absence of them coming to you for advice and wisdom.

The absence of the good mornings, good nights, and the I love yous.

It’s lonely.

Of course, you’re so proud your children don’t need you to survive but dang it… this disconnection is hard.

And You Never Know When It Will Hit You Hardest…

mine was not when I expected…

Hi, I’m Jill Savage, parent of 5 young adults that have left the nest.

Our nest emptied in December several years ago when our son got married. And my husband Mark & I were like WOOHOO!!! We felt the freedom! We’d worked hard for this, and we were doing great.
Until 8 months later, when everybody was getting their kids ready to go back to school.

All of a sudden, the grief hit me.

It hit because this part of mothering is something I loved.

I loved the going back to school prep, the rituals, the routine.

I’d done it for 30 years, and suddenly, it wasn’t a part of my world anymore.

I felt disoriented.

I felt sad.

I felt left out.

And it caught me by surprise because I didn’t expect it. We’d had the kids out of the house for 8 months, and I thought I was good.

But, all these feelings collided when I realized I didn’t have any more kids to get ready for school.

During this time, I read my Bible and ran across a verse in Ecclesiastes.

It reminded me that in everything there’s a season – a time to laugh, a time to cry.

When it said a time to hold on and a time to let go, I whispered a prayer to the Lord,

Green Hexagon

“Okay, you know what Lord, I, I think that’s the key to the empty nest. I need to learn what to hold onto and what to let go of.”

And answering those two questions became my journey.

What do I need to hold onto?

What do I need to let go of?

01

Step off the Roller Coaster Ride

Sorting through Empty Nest Emotions

In this session, you’ll step off the emotional roller coaster by understanding the layers of mom grief, how they are affecting you, and what you can do to handle them (no matter if you’re a Boo-hooer or a Woo-hooer).

After this module, you’ll understand what grief is and is not. You’ll be able to stop the emotional roller coaster at any time.

You’ll also know what emotions to let go of and what emotions to hold on to.

02

Stop that Stinkin’ Thinkin’

Banish the shame and blame

In this session, you’ll release those shame and blame thoughts that bring so much grief.

Releasing the Stinkin’ Thinkin’ allows you to lay a foundation of trust and communication needed to have wonderful relationships with your family.

You’ll come away from this module with 4 distinct steps to stop Stinkin’ Thinkin’.

You’ll also know how to love your adult children even when they make choices you don’t like.

03

Prepare for Parenting Paradoxes

You’re still the parent, but your role has changed.

In this section, you’ll dig into the nitty-gritty of your new relationship with your now adult kid(s) even when they leave the nest at different times.

Once you understand the 5 key things you need to let go of and five key things you need to grab hold of, you’ll experience a new level of confidence, contentment, and joy, putting you in a position to thrive in this season of your life.

This module also covers how to keep your family together through the transitions as children leave the nest at different times.

04

Embrace Your Encore Season

Oh the Possibilities of Purpose!

In this session, Jill helps you understand the possibilities of what your encore season holds.

She’ll guide you through multiple ways to understand how the experiences you’ve had create new possibilities for you in this season of life.

Possibilities that feel right for your personality, age, and heart.

You’ll come away from this session with a renewed sense of your identity and purpose.

When I started to get clarity about those things and what fit in those categories, I began to feel like I found my footing and that my grief began to subside.

I felt like I had found the key to transitioning into the empty nest without letting the grief swallow me

And I knew if I needed help with the transition, others would too. That’s why I wrote the book, Empty Nest, Full Life and created a course to go into even more details.

Together, these modules help you…

R

Handle the huge sense of loss and grief

R

Handle the conflicting emotions when they come up

R

Forgive yourself for any parenting “mistakes” or not spending enough time with them

R

Enjoy your new relationship with your adult children (even when they don’t do what you want)

R

Adjust to family life as each child leaves the nest

R

Fill your days with things that bring you joy and purpose

R

Feel like you have a purpose again

And, since you have unlimited access for the lifetime of the course, you can revisit any (or all) modules as you need.

And, of course, I wanted to cover more than the basics, so I’ve added these bonuses.

Embrace Your Encore Season

This bonus allows you to keep that connection open with your now-adult kids without annoying them. This helps ease the transition and builds this phase of your relationship.

"Blessed when I’ve had good instruction"

“So many times in life we try to “buck up” and do life without instruction. Some of the times I’ve been most blessed is when I’ve had good instruction.”

– Diana F.

Eva C

“I understand grief now”

“The biggest thing for me was understanding grief. I’ve gone through grief, but I never really understood how deeply the grief goes, because I always felt like I was okay. Yeah. I’ve grieved. I’m all moving on. I’m okay.”

– Eva Cervantes

It’s Time to Create Your New Story, Your New Sense of Purpose

While you’re raising kids, you kind of lose track of friendships, self-care, your marriage (if you’re married), and most other things because all of your energy goes into your children.

That’s why this stage of life can feel really vulnerable and empty.

But it doesn’t have to.

You can write a new story and embrace this season with a set of instructions guided by God and meant for you.

"I want to create a new story for myself"

“I originally thought it was about my son in regards to letting go. But in reality, it was really about me.

And I want to create a new story for myself that I always put my son first over my own self-nurturing.”

– Nicole B.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Is this only for moms?

This course is geared towards moms, but the same ideas apply to dads. If you’re a dad reading this, try the course. If it isn’t for you, you can always use our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Isn’t praying enough? Why do I need to purchase something?

Prayer is so very important! So are community and personal growth. This experience will equip you to pray more effectively as well as strengthen your foundation of faith and your relational skills!

How much time will this take me?

Honestly, I can’t say because everyone’s journey through this season is unique.

 

What I can tell you is that getting through the materials will take you about 7 hours because of the length of the videos.

The kids are going out on their own.

Now What?

First, give yourself a high-five for a job well done!

Then, consider what you want for the next phase of your life.

If that’s clear, then congratulations! Let me know so I can cheer you on!

If it’s not clear, consider getting help and instruction in the comfort of your own home, through this beautiful gift of the internet & on-demand courses.

The Empty Nest, Full Life course will help you a lot more than scrolling around the web looking for answers in too many articles or forums.

Why? Because asking for and receiving help is a form of self-care that lasts way longer than a manicure or a massage.

I hope to see you in the course.

Your normal friend,
– Jill
