My twins graduated from high school on Thursday! YAY! YAY! YAY!

For the past few weeks it has been a rollercoaster of emotion - excitement, fear, exhaustion. Mixed with a healthy dose of angst.

I’m a person who has spent much of my life compartmentalizing my emotions. I blamed it on my job - no time or energy to have emotions when I need to work (and commute) lots of hours. Focus on the kids and their needs. Not me. 

So let’s internalize. Stick to a set routine. Eat my feelings rather than feel them.

The kids were finishing elementary school when that all came to a grinding halt. I lost my job. 

Fast forward seven years. I’m an entrepreneur! With a fabulous business partner! I no longer internalize my feelings. I am blessed to have flexibility in my daily routine. Eating my feelings has been replaced by rowing my legs off. 

Did I mention flexibility? 

I think flexibility is the key to allowing us soon-to-be-empty nesters maneuver through these last months - 76 days left for me!!

How does this flexibility work?

-> Voxer Coaching! No set sessions rather time chunked more frequently based on clients’ needs.

-> Scheduling co-working in shorter time slots over more days. 

-> Spending some time each evening to lay out the next day’s “must do’s.”

How are you handling your summer with your kids?
