This group is for INFJs who are interested in connecting with other INFJs. Our events will be a place for people to learn, share, and connect.

This group is for moms in their 40s and 50s who are new/part/complete empty nesters, whether you have one kid or 10. Moms can be married, divorced, single, wherever you're at in life - you just have to be a mom who is going through the empty nesting years, with kids who just started college this fall or have left the nest 2-5 years ago (your youngest is 25 years or younger). You must be living in SoCal. You are here because you are looking for support and some fun from a community of women who are newly transitioning/still transitioning to this new era of their lives. We're finding that as our kids leave the coop after 18 years, the empty nesting syndrome is a legit mourning and grieving process. I have spoken to many women, a lot of them friends, colleagues, and even strangers, who feel alone in this journey. Let's change that. Let's focus on our self-care, share what works for others during this time to stay connected to our kids, and make new and even lifelong friendships. Let's find new and different meaning (goals?) in this new phase of our mama-hood, and even envision the future we want for ourselves now that we have adult children. We can walk, hike, see a movie, dine, wine, hang out at someone's house to watch an old beloved movie or football, go to a concert, or we can be with each other and sit silently if needed, whatever we think is appropriate during this surprisingly hard stage of having to let go. A community of women is always empowering, uplifting, and powerful. I hope this group becomes a space that helps empty nesting moms - seeking support, fun social opportunities, and the collective sigh - find relief that they/you/I have found our tribe who understand. Depending on the size of this group, I may have to ask for nominal donations to help cover meetup fees. But that's later. Let's all get to know each other first. :-) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Hosting/Organizing: If you are interested in being a host to post your own activities, please reach out to Catherine.
