What happens when the kids leave, the routine shifts, and you're left asking, "Now what?"

This week, I’m joined by Jay Ramsden—host of The Empty Nest Life Podcast—for a heartfelt conversation about midlife reinvention, purposeful living, and the evolving journey of fatherhood. A graduate of the Coaching & Positive Psychology Institute and a former educator with 30 years of experience, Jay brings deep wisdom, humor, and compassion to the table.

We talk about the emotional landscape of the empty nest years 🏡, what it really means to "find your way" again in midlife 🔍, and how coaching and positive psychology can support meaningful transformation 💬. Jay also shares lessons from decades spent helping others navigate change—and what fatherhood has taught him about presence, patience, and purpose ❤️.

Whether you're entering a new chapter or just starting to ask the big questions, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired.

Your Dare for the Week ❤️
Do it scared!
