For too long, the idea of an “empty nest” has carried a sense of dread and loss. Let’s flip the script and hatch a whole new narrative.
It's time to enjoy a job-well-done and newfound freedom. To spread our wings, rediscover passions, travel, laugh and live an even more full life!
We’re not here to say “goodbye” to “the best years of our life.”
Freebyrding is a celebration inviting us to say “hello” to a whole new adventure! A community that inspires us to soar to all new, all “you” heights, embracing our "empty nest" journey with wide-open-arms and wide-eyed-wonder!
... should flock together! Join us on this journey as we unleash our inner eagles and rise on the wings of change, embracing life from a higher perspective.
Freedom never felt so good!
Welcome on our collective adventure of what’s next!!
We're happiest between the ages of 9 and 16 (makes perfect sense, right?) and then again with a steady incline from 52 to 70 (what?!), all the way up to age 96! And when you map that incline, it creates a smile - how lovely! ---->
So those nagging, worrisome thoughts the "best" could be in our rearview, are just plain wrong. Unless you're 96. And in that case - yay, you! Assuming most of us are not yet in our 90s and instead, are hovering in our early 50s to 70s (age 63 is, apparently, a prime year for "happy"), we have a lot of happy to explore. Who's ready to fly higher in this life?
An Iowan who migrated to Hollywood after college.
I've been an assistant, a boss, an entrepreneur, a business owner and seat-filler ...
A wife, a mom, a divorcee, a single mom, a second wife and stepmom ...
And now, as I begin my 50s, I'm laser-focused on flipping the script on "empty nest" to embrace what science says can be the happiest incline of our lives.
