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.Where to connect with me: Interested in sponsoring DMP?
