In this episode of Successful Student Transitions: A Time to Thrive, host Elizabeth Gillies talks with Professor Denise Turner — social work professor, psychotherapist, and researcher about what happens to parents when their children leave home.
Despite affecting millions of families, the empty nest experience is surprisingly under-researched in the UK. Professor Turner shares findings from her pioneering study, revealing that while some parents embrace this stage as a time of reinvention, others face profound loss and challenge.
We explore:
- Why we struggle to talk about the empty nest
- Language, labels, independence and interdependence
- How financial privilege, prior losses, and single parenthood shape the experience
- Policy implications to support this life stage
- What's next — Professor Turner's plans for a major three-year research study
A thoughtful, human conversation about a midlife transition that deserves far more attention.
