Event Recap — May 23, 2026

What a Morning!

Together we gathered to have an honest conversation about a transition that often goes unspoken — the quiet, tender journey of the empty nest. We explored the roles and identity labels we carry as mothers, and took time to reflect on how those shift when the daily rhythm of raising children changes.

Through guided reflection, we looked inward at our own strengths, and turned our eyes toward the future — embracing this new season not as an ending, but as an invitation into renewed purpose. It was a powerful, intimate session, and every woman in that room left feeling seen, affirmed, and genuinely inspired. What a gift to be reminded that we are not walking this road alone.

Thank you to every mom who showed up, leaned in, and let herself be seen in this season. You made the room what it was.

Our Featured Speaker

A heartfelt thank you to Anita Ritchey, MA, LPCC of Fully Restored Counseling for sharing such a powerful and honest word. We left feeling seen, equipped, and genuinely inspired. Her warmth and expertise were the perfect guide through one of motherhood's most tender transitions.
