Mid-Life Mommy to Empty Nester
Lena cracked open the playbook on mid‑life transformation when she launched her “Mid‑Life Mommy to Empty Nester” podcast in 2021. What began as candid conversations about weight loss, faith, and parenting has blossomed into 57 episodes and counting—each one a roadmap for navigating life’s biggest transitions with humor, grit, and divine inspiration.
After fourteen years devoted to nurturing her four children, Lena stepped into the classroom, earning her degree in education and, ultimately, a master’s in Reading. For over a decade she’s served as a Reading Intervention specialist, blending research‑backed strategies with heartfelt mentorship to help students unlock their potential.
By day, you’ll find Lena championing young readers; by night, she’s a Rare Faith Facilitator, crafting workshops, newsletters, and blog posts that teach the kind of faith “that causes things to happen” in finances, relationships, and personal growth. From her popular posts—“Hard Isn’t Hard Anymore” and “I’m a GOOD Teacher”—to her immersive Genius Boot Camp® events, Lena empowers busy parents and professionals to trade overwhelm for confidence and purpose.
Whether you’re wrestling with money mindsets, parenting hurdles, or the empty‑nest blues, Lena’s blend of classroom wisdom and faith‑based tools will help you love yourself as God loves you—and step boldly into your next chapter.
