Inner Peace and Power

46: Reflections on Empty Nesting/ Bird Launching

Rashmi Schramm, MD Episode 46

This episode is for all humans who have experienced change or transitions in their lives, not just folks with kids they're attempting to launch. 

I'll share my thoughts and reflections in my usual fashion: by breaking them down into 3 main lessons. 

What we'll discuss:

- How multiple emotions like relief, sadness, excitement and joy can all co exist

- How intensity and discomfort aren't "bad"

- How change is inevitable and how embracing change can help us enormously

- How we're shifting identities almost all the time, and when we become attached to our roles, we can cause more suffering than the pain that already exists

- How parenting is not actually about the parents at all

- How we can enjoy whatever is arising by being curious and compassionate within ourselves
