Beyond Empty Nest
💜You did the mom thing—and you did it well.
Now the house is quieter, the roles have shifted, and you're asking: What’s next for me?
Welcome to Beyond Empty Nest, the podcast for midlife women who are ready to dare more, doubt less, and live fully.
I’m Jodi Silverman—speaker, mindset coach, and your personal cheerleader for this next chapter of life. Every Thursday, you’ll hear real stories of reinvention, heartfelt solo episodes, and conversations that spark courage, confidence, and connection.
We talk midlife pivots, purpose, self-talk, happiness (yes, it’s possible!), and all the messy magic in between—sprinkled with a little woo and a lot of heart.

Clean This Up and You Can Reduce Stress and Increase Happiness
NOPE, we're not going to clean your closet or that nasty junk drawer in the kitchen. Today, I want to talk about YOU and the nasty way you talk to and about yourself.
Just imagine some of the things you're saying to yourself. Would you ever say that to your best friend? In this episode, I will talk about being your own best friend, cheerleader, and coach. It can help you decrease anxiety. It can help you get out of that victim mentality.
I know you're saying and thinking these thoughts. And that's why we're going to start today to clean up your self-talk. I am going to help you create self-talk awareness so that you can clean up these negative thoughts.
Your Dare this week is keeping it simple with one step at a time.
Keep a journal or notebook with you. Pay attention to yourself. Think about the words you think to yourself and say them out loud. Write them down and notice any repeats.
After, there is a Double Dare of downloading the self-taught cleanup.
And finally, I'm even going to throw a Triple Dare! Let me know once you complete creating the shift in your self-talk. Drop it in comments or direct messages on social media.
I am also taking you through how to create affirmations deeper. If you'll grab my self-talk cleanup challenge resource, where you will get a PDF of everything I'm talking about here.
For the following six days, you will get me in your inbox by doing the PDF challenge. I will take you through six days of our self-talk cleanup challenge to help you get a great start on creating self-talk awareness. I will help you create a shift and change to feel less stressed, happier, calmer, and more at peace.
