Thrive Global: Endbeginnings and the Empty Nest

Endbeginnings: Reframing the Empty Nest on Thrive Global
It’s September and I’ve been hearing more and more calls for support for the underappreciated passage of becoming an empty nester. Anyone who has gone through this transition needs to know a beautiful (made-up) word I’ve learned: Endbeginnings.

I encountered Endbeginnings several years ago when I read Dr. Rachel Remen’s (highly recommended) book, Kitchen Table Wisdom. I remember thinking it was a witty play on words but kept reading on with barely a pause. A few years later, just around the time I became an Empty Nester, I re-read Rachel’s book, and this concept stopped me in my tracks.

Becoming an Empty Nester epitomizes Endbeginnings and a double dose of challenge. You are experiencing both a change (what happens from a practical point of view on the outside) and a transition (the internal experience associated with that external change). BAM!

Help me spread the word.
