What NOT to Do When Your Kids Come Home from College
Winter break brings a mix of excitement and tension, and today's episode is dedicated to all the moms eagerly preparing to welcome their grown-up kids back into the fold for the holiday season.
To guide us through this unique experience, we've brought back an audience favorite—Adina Tovell. Adina isn't just an executive coach and founder of the People Leadership Institute; she's also a personal development expert with over 25 years of experience. Her expertise lies in helping people understand themselves, identify what matters most to them, and refine how they want to navigate the world.
Beyond her professional achievements, Adina is a friend and a fellow Empty Nest mom. She understands the intricacies of this phase of life and is right there in the trenches with all of us. As we gear up for the reunions and navigate the ups and downs of the midlife Empty Nest chapter, Adina provides invaluable insights and support.
