What happens when being a mom has been the center of your world for so long that you don’t know what to do when your children grow up?

In this Torch Talk, Christine opens up about the emotional reality of empty nesting, the childhood experiences that shaped her parenting, and the unexpected process of rediscovering her identity.

Now, she’s returning to creative dreams she once put aside, exploring podcasting and content creation, and learning to do things even when she’s afraid.

She’s no longer convinced she needs to have herself completely figured out.

This is a conversation for the mom who loves being a mother but knows there’s still a woman inside her with a life to live.
