MOMS OF TEENS AND ALMOST EMPTY NESTERS....

Feeling Stuck Between Holding On and Letting Go? 

Find Peace, Confidence, Connection and a New Purpose as Both You and Your Teen Approach This Next Chapter.

Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?

  • I don’t know how to stop feeling anxious, irritated, or hurt.
  • I want to support my teen, but I don’t know how.
  • I feel like I’m losing my connection with my child.
  • I’ve spent so many years focused on being a mom—who am I now?
  • I want to look forward to the future, but I feel stuck, uncertain, or lost.

If so, you're not alone.

I’ve worked with hundreds of women navigating this this ever-changing period of raising teens and the transition to the empty nest, and I know how overwhelming it can feel. The mix of emotions—anxiety, frustration, sadness, and uncertainty—is completely normal. But you don’t have to stay stuck in these feelings. There is a way to move forward with peace, confidence, a stronger connection with your big kid, and a renewed sense of purpose.

The Problem: You're Caught in the Empty Nest Straddle

No matter where you are in this transition—whether your teen is still in high school, heading to college, or already out on their own—you’re likely feeling the pull of the Empty Nest Straddle.

Some days, you feel calm and confident. Other days, you feel like you’re grasping at control, spinning in anxiety, or trying to figure out how to stay connected  as you try to give your teen the independence they need.

One foot is still planted in motherhood as you’ve always known it—guiding, protecting, supporting. The other foot is stepping into the unknown—trusting, releasing, and redefining your future. Whether you’re looking forward to this next chapter or dreading it, one thing is certain: it’s a major shift where nothing is certain.

And your mind? It craves certainty, so it works overtime trying to create it.

What does this look like?

  • You imagine worst-case scenarios and try to solve them before they happen.
  • You try to control or influence your teen so you can feel more at ease.
  • You seek validation—from your teen, other parents, or even social media.
  • You strive for perfection, but nothing ever feels “good enough.”
  • You compare yourself or your teen to others, wondering if you’re doing it “right.”

My friend, this isn't a sign that there's something wrong with you.

Your brain is simply trying to create safety in the midst of uncertainty. But the more you hold on tightly, the more anxious and frustrated you feel. You get stuck searching for the “right” answer, second-guessing yourself, and feeling terrible.

Some days, you feel okay. Other days, it feels like everything is slipping through your fingers.

But what if you could navigate this transition with confidence—knowing when to step in, when to let go, and how to create peace for yourself in the process?

The Solution: Embrace the Empty Nest Straddle

You don’t have to stay stuck in anxiety, frustration, sadness, or uncertainty. When you embrace the Empty Nest Straddle, you discover how to parent with confidence, stay connected without controlling, and create a life that brings you joy and fulfillment.

This means…

  • Trusting yourself to navigate this stage with clarity and confidence, no longer second-guessing every decision.
  • Letting go of the need to control while still being a strong, supportive presence in your child’s life.
  • Strengthening your relationship with your teen—not by holding on tighter, but by allowing them to grow while knowing you’ll always be there.
  • Releasing guilt and regret about the past and embracing the future with excitement instead of fear.
  • Owning your emotions so they don’t own you—knowing how to handle sadness, frustration, and worry without getting stuck in them.
  • Rediscovering yourself beyond motherhood and stepping into your next chapter with purpose and possibility.

This is what’s possible in Mom 2.0.

Through personalized 1:1 coaching, mindset tools, and proven strategies, you’ll gain everything you need to embrace the empty nest straddle with peace, confidence, and a renewed sense of self.

What is Mom 2.0?

Mom 2.0 is a highly personalized 1:1 coaching program designed for moms who are ready to break free from anxiety, stop second-guessing themselves, and step into this next chapter with peace and confidence.

You’ll learn a proven 5-step process that helps you let go where you don’t have control and take bold action where you do. Because, my friend, you have more control than you think—over:

âś… Your expectations of yourself and others.
âś… The boundaries you set to protect your peace.
âś… How you see other people and how that impacts your relationships.
✅ How you see yourself—not just as a mom, but as a woman with a future beyond motherhood.
✅ How you view your life and what’s possible for you.
âś… The decisions you make about your happiness, purpose, and next steps.

Mom 2.0 will shift the way you think, feel, and show up in your life. You’ll uncover the hidden mindset traps—like catastrophizing, perfectionism, and comparison—that keep you stuck in fear and self-doubt. And more importantly, you’ll learn how to break free from these patterns so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

This program isn’t about learning how to parent, and it’s not therapy. It’s about gaining an entirely new skill set—one that helps you trust yourself, navigate the uncertainty of raising teens, and create a future you’re excited about.

How It Works

For 10 weeks, you’ll work directly with Master Coach Jennifer Collins in weekly private coaching sessions, where you’ll:
âś… Apply mindset tools to real-life challenges as they come up.
âś… Gain personalized guidance to strengthen your confidence and emotional resilience.
✅ Learn how to handle anxiety, frustration, and doubt in a way that puts you back in control. 

This is your opportunity to stop feeling stuck and step into being the mom and woman you want to be.
