Laura Thomas on Preparing for an Empty Nest

The number of years your kids are in your home is likely to be less than the number of years they are not. Those empty nest years may seem far away but eventually, they will be just around the corner. Our guest Laura Thomas believes that it is never too early or too late to prepare for those empty nest years. So whether you are chasing toddlers or carpooling tweens this conversation is for you!

In this episode you will hear:

• What we need to know about the empty nest years

• How to prepare for the empty nest years when our kids are in each of phases - Middle school, High school, and college?

• How to decide what will fill our empty nest years

Key Points:

• You can start preparing for the empty nest years even when your kids are little. 

• Investing in your marriage during the “family years” is important in preparing for the empty nest.

• Before you find yourself in an empty nest, find things that you like to do on your own and with your spouse. 

• You still have a family culture in the empty nest years.
