Empty nesting isn’t a single moment—it’s a series of quiet identity shifts. In this episode, I share a personal story about helping my youngest daughter move into her new apartment as she begins her OB/GYN residency—and the surprising emotions that surfaced.

We talk about -
 • The evolving roles of parenthood (from authority to mentor to friend)
 • The grief and growth of identity transitions
 • Why “Would You Rather?” can be a powerful tool for clarity
 • How to honor your next chapter as much as your child’s

Whether you’re deep in the empty nest or anticipating it, this episode offers reflection, compassion, and a gentle nudge to ask yourself - What would I rather?
