Motherhood is one of your roles, it’s not your whole identity. Here on this podcast, we are putting together all the pieces that make you who you are as a woman and a mom. We are leveling up mom life and showing the world that you are unstoppable. I created the More Than a Mother podcast to show you how you can embrace life as a whole woman.

On this weekly podcast, I share stories, tips, and practical strategies to help you navigate through motherhood, womanhood, career/business, and life. From solo episodes to amazing interviews with moms like you, listen to hear stories of survival, determination, and perseverance as we show you how to be more productive, take care of yourself, manage life as a busy mom, and grow into the woman you desire to be. If you have read to this point, then you are definitely in the right place. Come on in and join the fun!

My guest today is, Christine Maziarz, also known as Your Empty Nest Coach. Christine is carving her path as the Empty Nest Guru on TikTok. All parents eventually become empty nesters, however, Christine was thrust into empty nest life way earlier than she expected. Today she is sharing the things she learned while advocating for her daughter as well as how she is making TikTok work for her life and business.
In this episode, Christine shares:
- how her daughter's gifted abilities were almost missed
- how she adjusted to life once her daughter went away to college at 14 years old
- the importance of advocating for your gifted child
- how adults need to let loose and remember to have fun
- how TikTok became her platform for creative expression and how she is building a community with empty nest parents and college students through that platform
About Christine
Coach Christine guides mothers who are nervous about the empty nest ahead. She takes them from freaking out about it to feeling freaking awesome. It is her passion to work with mothers of high school students (and beyond) who are in the trenches with sad and possibly overwhelming thoughts about what life will look like when their "baby" heads to college and begins to leave the nest. Her clients’ big question: What will I do with my time?

Another year, another variant, and more social distancing. The holidays have definitely called for us to get creative these past two years.
Today, I am sharing how you can still enjoy the holidays as a family even if you have to social distance. These tips may not be the same as having in-person gatherings, but hopefully, they make the holidays still feel like family time even if you have to spend it apart.
