As your children grow and become more independent, it's natural to experience a mix of emotions. While you're undoubtedly proud of their achievements, you may also feel a sense of loss, uncertainty, and anxiety about what lies ahead. This is a normal part of the parenting journey, and it's important to remember that you're not alone.

Introducing EFT Tap and Breathe: A Simple Technique for Stress Relief


One technique that I've found helpful during this transition is called "Tap and Breathe." This method involves using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) tapping points—gently tapping on specific acupressure points while taking a deep breath in and a slow breath out. You then move to the next tapping point and repeat.


By incorporating these simple yet effective techniques into your daily routine, you can reduce stress, improve your emotional well-being, and rediscover your own passions.


Watch this video and follow along. Here I am showing how I Tap and Breathe.





Why Self-Care is Essential During This New Chapter of Motherhood


It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of motherhood, constantly putting everyone else's needs before your own. Now, with more time on your hands, it's essential to prioritise self-care. Tap and Breathe can be your anchor during this period of transition, providing a moment of peace amidst the change.


Uncovering Buried Passions and Set Exciting New Goals


As you begin to quiet your mind and connect with your inner self, you may start to uncover desires and passions that have been buried for years. Perhaps you've always wanted to learn a new language, start a business, or try learn something new. Tap and Breathe can help you clarify your goals and create a vision for the future that excites you.


How to Use Tap and Breathe to Clarify Your Vision for the Future


By incorporating Tap and Breathe into your life, you're taking a proactive step towards creating a fulfilling and meaningful next chapter. This technique can help you stay grounded, reduce stress, and focus on your personal growth as you navigate this new chapter.

Runners preparing for a race on a running track

Whilst watching the the Olympics on TV the 1500m decathlon race began, I realised their time was clearly going to be under 4 minutes. Although the race is less than a mile, it reminded me of the historic struggle to break the 4-minute mile barrier.


Once Roger Bannister achieved it, it became clear to everyone that it was possible, and soon many more athletes accomplished it.


This shows that when you believe something is possible, you have the right mindset to achieve it. On the other hand, doubt can hugely block you from reaching your full potential.



The Power of Belief in Achieving Your Goals

When you think of your goals and dreams, do you believe they are possible? If not, what are you saying to yourself?


The biggest obstacle to achieving your goals is often your own internal chatter. If you find yourself doubting your ability to reach your dreams, take a moment to reflect on what you are telling yourself.


Are you setting limitations based on past experiences or fears? By shifting your mindset and believing in the possibility of success, you open the door to achieving what once seemed impossible.


We can learn from these athletes and look at others who have been successful, using their achievements to inspire ourselves towards greatness.

Gingerbread House
Gingerbread House

I was living our dream life. My two daughters were thriving at school, and I cherished being an integral part of their lives.


From supporting them backstage in school plays to cheering them on at netball matches and baking gingerbread houses before Christmas, I loved every moment of motherhood.


As they grew older, I treasured our learning to drive practice sessions, which gave us precious time to chat.

BUT, I hadn't prepared myself for the heartache that came when my eldest was preparing to go to university.



The thought of not seeing her every day, knowing she would lead an independent life, left me tearful and heartbroken. The impending change felt like an abrupt end to a beloved chapter of my life, and I felt redundant.




Coping with Empty Nest Syndrome

With both my daughters seeking independence and the empty nest fast approaching, I realised I had to confront the looming void. I had always put everyone else's needs first, but now, I faced the daunting question:


What was my purpose now?


My confidence plummeted, and I felt of little value to the world. This, coupled with perimenopausal symptoms, left me tearful and lost.



Finding New Purpose After Motherhood

One day, overwhelmed by these feelings, I decided enough was enough. I recognised that my emotional baggage and limiting beliefs were holding me back. I needed a change. I loved being in nature and supporting others, so I began exploring ways to combine these passions.


A few friends mentioned EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) tapping, which I initially dismissed as odd. But curiosity led me to take a short course on Udemy, followed by a 5-day in person practitioner course.


Something inside me knew this was the right step forward.



The Transformative Power of EFT Tapping

The course was transformative. I quickly realised that before I could help others, I needed to work on my own emotional rucksack. I sought support and gradually unpacked the past events that had held me back. As I healed, I felt ready to begin my business, confident in the power of EFT.


Now, I have choices. I can pause, reflect, and prioritise my needs. I feel a new sense of freedom and calm, with a future full of possibilities.

Preparing for Life Beyond the Empty Nest

To all the mothers out there, whether your children are still at home or preparing to leave the nest, I urge you to think about your future. What will you do when they become more independent? How can you begin to prepare yourself now?


You might already feel the weight of an emotional rucksack, affecting your happiness and appreciation for the present.


You may have tried many things and feel stuck, but there is a different way. You can choose how to live your life, rather than reacting to it.


I've created a Free Journaling workbook to help you understand what's happening in your life, identify what's working and what's not, and take baby steps toward where you want to be. It’s designed to help you turn things around and embrace a life of freedom and choice.





Let’s embark on this journey together. There is a fulfilling life beyond motherhood, and it starts with taking the first step.
