Weight loss for pre-empty nester women who don't like working out

Dating in the empty-nest season.

When entering the empty nest season, you might be looking at the person across the table from you wondering who they are. It’s common to get so wrapped up in your kids’ lives especially in those busy, and sometimes emotionally draining, high school years and forget to invest in the person that helped you start that family in the first place…your spouse!


Navigating your relationship with your spouse as the kids move out of the house can be a little “clunky”, as my friend Cindy says. 


It’s time to start dating your mate and here are a few fun ideas to help:

  1. Take turns scheduling date night. Don’t wait for your spouse to plan something fun. You go first!
  2. Cook dinner together. Here are some fun recipes we created just for you two.
  3. Take a long walk after dinner. This helps open communication and is good for your body. 
  4. Plan a vacation (or staycation) together. Getting away is always a good idea!
  5. Find a fun activity you can do together. Some ideas are pickleball, golf, running, remodeling/updating, games, puzzles, gardening, etc.


Don’t get frustrated if it takes a little longer than you expected to connect. And, if things are still a struggle, I’m always a fan of finding a counselor to help you open up the communication again.


Not only do we find we let our relationships go but sometimes we let our bodies go, which can affect our relationships. I’d love to help you find simple solutions to loving the person in the mirror again. Message me to sign up for a free consultation or

Happy Dating!

There was a recent post in my neighborhood Facebook group that read: In search of a unicorn: Remote, work-from-home, part-time job Make my own hours Not MLM Not cold calling I've done Door Dash before but don't want to put any more wear/tear on my car. I'm an efficient typist. I have 13+ years of self-taught graphic design (Photoshop & Illustrator) experience. I'm tech-savvy, creative, and I learn quickly. Any ideas? It made me wonder why Network Marketing/MLM jobs get such a bad rap? I get it, I used to avoid the lady at my church who always wanted me to have a home party for her. And, I said “no” to all the people who introduced me to their opportunities. A few bad apples might have left a bad taste in your mouth too. However, I remember reading a book about Mary Kay Ash when I was in elementary school. The business she created allowed her to be present for her kids while also building a business. That was something I always desired. And the business model she created also made sense. It was a lot of people coming together to do a little which compounded into something big. As a stay at home mom, I was getting tired of being strapped financially and I wanted some play money. I didn’t want to work outside of the home because my kids were my priority and I wanted to be fully available to them. I was approached by my BFF about a business. At first, I said no and began to avoid her like the lady at my church. But, then I started to become curious about the business opportunity. I’d seen how well the products worked for my BFF and her husband. And, I remembered Mary Kay Ash’s network marketing business. This business opportunity wasn’t selling makeup, pills, or a face cream but a lifestyle change that would create a ripple effect for those who used the products. It was what I personally needed for my health and it made sense. I can tell you the truth about network marketing. It is the best business model I have found for women who want to work their own hours, has a small start-up cost, and allows them to leverage their time by working as a team. It takes hard work, diligence, and being coachable. You are the type who isn’t afraid to try something new and wants to create a ripple effect that can make an impact on generations to come. Let’s make a lasting impact together. More information about how you can join me in changing lives can be found here .
