Real, relatable, restorative!
I have read or listened to as many books about empty nesting as I could find over the last three years, but none of them felt like a story so real and everyday-mom relatable as Empty Besting did for me. I didn't prepare myself before the last child of many left home, rendering me doing what I now funnily refer to as 'going to the couch'. Left feeling like my only connection in my personal life was to the life I knew through my children, it also seemed that the only fun I knew how to plan was for my children. I pretended I was living, but I was grieving the life I so enjoyed, along with that identity. And I really did go to the couch for a couple of years when I wasn't busy go-going as the CEO of two businesses. I was searching for a strategy to reconnect with me, and with a life I knew I needed to be bounding out of bed each day excited about. I found it in the pages of Kristi's story and tools. Not only is this book witty, honest and fun, it was restorative for me in SO many ways as I implemented the suggestions throughout the chapters. Part way through the book I found Kristi on social media because I already felt like I 'knew' her and when I was done reading, I reached out to say thank you with abundant gratitude. Look out world, I'm off the couch, reconnected, and emptybesting! I am gifting this book to friends and colleagues approaching and/or struggling with the empty nest to build a local circle of emptybesters.

Kristi makes it fun and exciting to read about the empty nest phase of life. She gets it! She lives it. I loved this book so much. It was not your typical "mental health" book full of sadness geared towards older people. It is for the young at heart parents after the kids move out. Life goes on! Kristi helps show you how!

Very relatable and helpful read! The author Kristi shares some great stories of the empty nest and how to embrace it. I'm recommending this book to all current (and soon-to-be) empty nest moms!
