We’re Here For You
Living Well in the Second Half of Life
Welcome!
We’re a gathering place for empty nesters and others in the second half of life. For parents, when the big shift occurs after grown children leave home to lead their own lives, a common theme is change with the need to adapt. But we all might ask “What’s next?” from middle-age forward, and look for ways to find enjoyment. To remain relevant and engaged in life. And protect our health as we age. To this end, we offer a variety of inspiring feature stories, interviews with experts, and more. We’re also an interactive site, sharing ideas and experiences through our comments sections.
The second half of life can bring a great deal of change, as well as a host of new and exciting possibilities for living well. Let’s explore it all, together. We invite you to scroll down and get to know us.
From our readers: “I love your website! What great articles and inspiring ideas.” “Your website is exquisite! And so helpful.” “We will encourage our friends to visit the website. Well done.”
Hello! I’m Lisa, Founder of the Empty Nest Network. We’re a brand new website with an array of offerings we think you’ll enjoy at this stage of life. From seeing a grown child off into the world, to seeing them marry. From becoming a grandparent, to entering retirement. We’ll have conversations about these things and more, and I’ll bring you sources of insight and information for living well at every stage going forward.
Our very special Showcase section is sure to inspire when you see what our featured empty nester parents, some who are well into the second half of life, are up to. You’ll appreciate their candor as they share their experiences, wisdom, and how they arrived at where they are today. Some of them have products, services or websites you might enjoy knowing about.
Visiting experts will weigh in on a variety of relevant topics, such as adjusting to life in an empty nest…how life changes can affect our relationships…financial and retirement planning…fitness…and managing our health as we age.
Let us be your “go-to” for the exchange of ideas and information. We hope you’ll actively comment underneath each article on our site, as well as in our Conversations section, where you’ll enjoy our wide range of topics related to what our experts and showcase parents are saying — and much more. As our network grows, so will our content and sections including Tips, Health & Fitness articles, Recipes and Quotes.
We invite you to visit often and grow right along with us! Let the Empty Nest Network help light your way as you consider “what’s next” for you, at every stage. Keep scrolling to enjoy our articles.
