Superb on every level

With my son about to depart for Uni and a daughter only a couple of years behind, I felt as though I needed a bit of guidance through this period of immense change. I am incredibly close to both my kids and bringing them up through a whole host of difficulties has been the most fulfilling part of my life. Even though I work and have a great marriage, I knew that in the next couple of weeks there was going to be a large void appearing in my life. Then I discovered "The Empty Nest Reset" ....

To be frank, up until the point of delving into this book I had considered myself to be over-sentimental and a bit of an idiot for feeling so unbelievably sad at the prospect of my son's departure. What made it worse was that even though on the outside he was thrilled and excited about leaving for a new chapter in his life, I could tell he was panicking. After reading the first few chapters, however, I realised that all these emotions were not the ridiculous rantings of an overly clingy parent, but that they were actually normal feelings and were to be expected. All the case study examples were excellent, giving the points of view of both the parents and young adults and also comments from professionals such as university pastoral care and family psychologists.

This book is so easy to read, partly because of its practical, straight to the point advice, but also because you immediately relate to everything in it and feel that you are not alone. It was as though I was reading word for word the thoughts and feelings going on in my head and somebody saying "that's ok, you're not daft you're a great Mum". I would recommend this book to any parent, who after years of wishing that the kids would give them a bit of peace and quiet, suddenly would do anything to hear themselves shout "TURN THAT DOWN!"

Helpful

This book really spoke to me at the right time. The author writes with humor and honesty about what it feels like when the kids leave home, without sugarcoating it. I appreciated the mix of practical advice, little exercises, and gentle nudges to start focusing on myself again. It felt like having a supportive friend who understands exactly what you're going through. A comforting, encouraging read.

Affirming, encouraging, and deliciously funny

A huggable, "rah-rah, go you!" manual for entering the empty nest, this book is for parents who are (or will be) discovering or re-discover their life beyond kids. Based on a combination of wit, heart, and actual lived experience, The Empty Nest Reset is a practical, relatable, deeply human way to re-claim, re-love, and/or re-discover your non-parenting self. From getting your time back, to re-connecting with your (pre-kid) passions (or discovering new ones), this book is a helpful reminder that the life you thought was over isn’t—it’s just changing.

Enjoy the Next Chapter of Your Life

The Empty Nest Reset is an uplifting and practical guide for the moment the house goes quiet and the silence seems loud. After 29 years with kids at home, I recognized myself as the subject of the book. The author follows women stepping into empty nests, whether without goals or overcommitted, and offers practical, compassionate guidance for rebuilding a life with joy and purpose. I especially valued the advice on setting boundaries and learning to say “no”; it felt freeing and doable. Short, relatable stories and actionable suggestions make it easy to try something new, like hobbies that have been set aside or investing in friendships. So embrace your empty nest and live the next chapter of your life.
