    Yes. It’s that time. The title means what you think it means. I didn’t even realize until I picked up the phone to record that this is the 50th episode, and it’s the last. I’ll take it as a sign.

    This episode is raw, no edits, sound…all me. Sorry if it’s noisy.

  • Empty Nest Chronicles- I Am Not Okay

    Empty Nest Chronicles- I Am Not Okay
    Apr 8 2022
    This is the beginning of my Empty Nest Chronicles and y’all I am not okay. I will be okay. But right now, and for the first time in my life I’m okay with not being okay.

    This episode is a short and sweet one about the woes of empty nest syndrome. I also share what’s helping and the plans I have as I prepare my empty nest.

    I haven’t found many single black mothers sharing their empty nest stories on socials or YouTube, so I plan to fill that gap. I hope this series will help others who find themselves deep in empty nest syndrome and those who will be there before they know it.
