This 4-day retreat is for women on the edge of—or already living—the empty nester chapter of life, who are ready to eliminate the physical and emotional strain they quietly recognize is limiting their lives.
Being an empty-nester is one major SYMPTOM but they know there is more beneath it. They long to create the life they want.
Introducing
Joy as a
Way of Being
Women's Retreat
A retreat for the mature woman who wants to move beyond the feelings of loss and anxiety that can come with an empty nest and
reinvent herself and her life.
A Women's Retreat for Personal & Uplifting Evolution
... from the inside out.
In this retreat, you will learn how to befriend yourself and move through this life transition in a state of contentment, instead of worrying when your grown child doesn’t answer your phone calls or tells you they have run out of their monthly allowance at college. You will find peace when reflecting how far you have come as a parent without lingering over guilt where you may have fallen short; you will release the feeling of being overwhelmed when pondering what’s next for you and gain clarity on what you want for this new chapter in your life.
Does this sound familiar?
Your high school senior is about to leave—or has just left—for college. You open the fridge and notice how empty it looks, with no trace of their favorite drink. Part of you thinks, well, that’s easier… but something in you feels unexpectedly hollow.
There are fewer dishes in the sink now—one less chore to manage… yet your hands feel strangely empty.
You walk past their bedroom—sometimes still full, sometimes already cleared—and you pause. The trophies, the photos, the quiet… and something in your stomach sinks.
The laundry piles are lighter. The house is calmer. No more constant movement, noise, or rushing out the door. It’s what you once wished for… and yet, it doesn’t feel the way you imagined.
You remember the years of driving—practices, games, activities. It was exhausting at times. And now, as you pass by those same places, you feel a pull in your chest you didn’t expect.
And underneath it all… there’s the quiet hum of concern.
Are they okay?
Who are they surrounded by now?
Are they taking care of themselves the way you would?
Or, if they’re still at home but preparing to leave—you wonder how you will feel when the house finally shifts, when the rhythm you’ve known for years changes overnight.
Then there’s you.
For years, you’ve made them your priority. Your time, your energy, your identity has been deeply woven into being there for them.
And now… you’re left asking:
What is my life about now?
What do I want?
Where do I even begin?
Should you go back to school? Start something new? Reconnect with parts of yourself you’ve put aside? Focus on your health? Your relationships? Your purpose?
And somewhere in all of this… there’s guilt.
Guilt for even thinking about putting yourself first.
Guilt for wanting more.
Guilt for not knowing who you are outside of being needed.
If this feels true for you—you’re not alone.
You're Not Alone
All of these thoughts and emotions that arise in this chapter of life are deeply human—and more common than you may realize.
You’ve built a life that, from the outside, looks full.
You’ve shown up—for your family, your career, your responsibilities. You’ve succeeded, achieved, contributed. You’ve been needed.
And yet… something inside feels quietly unfulfilled.
Yes, you remember when your children were little—when their lives depended on your presence. You remember the joy of cheering them on—their first steps, their first wins, the moments that made your heart expand.
At the same time, you were building something of your own.
A career. A role. A reputation. You carried responsibility, made decisions, held it all together.
You’ve done what you were “supposed” to do.
You’ve done it well.
And now… something is shifting.
Whether your child has already left, or you feel that moment approaching, you can sense it—this transition is not just about them. It’s about you.
Even as your heart feels pride in who they are becoming, you may also feel an unexpected pressure rising within you.
A quiet question:
What is my life about now?
It’s not just the absence of their daily presence.
It’s the awareness of a space inside you that no achievement, no role, no external success has fully filled.
And now you’re standing at a threshold—between who you’ve been… and who you are ready to become next.
Until now...
I am thrilled to introduce you to:
Launch Your Third Act
It’s a 4-day retreat for the empty-nester woman who wants to move beyond the feelings of loss and anxiety that comes with an empty nest, and reinvent herself and this chapter of her life.
It’s a retreat that will help you understand why your particular worries creep up and overwhelm you, and learn how to ditch the way these worries show up for good.
You will be able to stop questioning your past performance as a parent. You will have the tools to create the best version of yourself as a mom of adult children, one that you will love. You will discover that it’s possible to move beyond your current sense of inner void that the empty nest can bring. In contrast to being stuck, you will be able to create new feelings of aliveness, expansion, motivation, and joy that will open up a gateway for you to reinvent yourself, create the life you want, and thrive on a higher level.
You will discover how to create the life you want or dream about; you will launch the most exciting stage of your life, your Third Act.
What’s the “Third Act” of life? It’s easy to know as you look at what the first two acts are. The first one is about embracing education and youthful exuberance. The second act is about building a career and family.
Pursuing wisdom, self-actualization, and creating a legacy to take pride in is the Third Act of your life.
I have created this retreat because I am a successful businesswoman and an empty-nester myself. I have two grown-up sons who left for college. I, too, was overwhelmed by feelings of loss and anxiety as they left home, lived their college life, served their missions overseas, got married as students, and kept anxiously waiting for green cards for their spouses.
Olga's Personal Journey
As someone who is a transformation coach, and studied and practiced yoga for over 35 years, I should be a chill empty-nester, right?
I'd be all set if yoga and meditation were all it took.
I value yoga practices along with the foundational lifestyle elements of nourishing food, plenty of water, and prioritizing quality sleep.
But…if these practices were all it took, I would have been the most chill empty-nester EVER. There’s more to living with true emotional health than what we do on our yoga mats, have on our plates, and when we go to bed. I suspect you know this, too, and have likely tried all of the above. Do they help? Of course. Is there more we can do to transform anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed? Absolutely…
I now live with a solid sense of who I am, trusting in my own potential and knowing what I want for myself. It’s taken some practice, showing up for myself, and making many small changes and commitments along the way.
And here’s what I know: this is possible for you, too. If you’ve had never-ending thoughts of what might go wrong with your adult children, wrestled with those feelings of nagging guilt that you “haven’t done enough,” and spent sleepless nights tossing and turning, wondering how to move on from being just another empty-nester to becoming a woman awake to life and living your full potential, then this course is absolutely for you.
The promise of a life without uncomfortable emotions? Not possible. But, they can be figured out.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Launch Your Third Act Retreat will help you tap into:
Discovering the deeper layer of your potential that cures the inner emptiness
Dropping the guilt of "not having done enough and creating a healthy and loving relationship with yourself
Becoming clear about
what you want.
Reinventing yourself, rediscovering your mission and contribution to the world with all you professional work experience, talent and gifts
What Launch Your Third Act is NOT:
Each woman is unique and so is her source of inner emptiness and feelings of being overwhelmed. The retreat isn’t just another attempt to fix these two from the outside.
The retreat is extraordinary and revolutionary in its unique way to teach you about the art of self-mastery over your daily mood.
You will understand and handle inner emptiness from a lighter place and without fear or dread. However, the retreat is more than that. It is about creating a crystal-clear vision of what you want at this stage of your life and how to get it.
It’s about finding a skip in your step that you have missed for some time.
It will introduce you to the tools to ignite motivation, excitement, and confidence to rediscover yourself.
It’s a retreat of personal and uplifting evolution from the inside out.
Why is the retreat a great choice for a woman-leader who has become an empty-nester? Because I will use three extraordinary skills that I have mastered and practiced over the past 35 years combined as a transformation coach and a yoga therapist. I will use these unique skills to help you process any feelings of emptiness and move on in your dream life.
In this retreat, you will learn how to quickly lift your mood and refocus your thoughts with purpose.
You will be able to create a connection with your adult children and your spouse that will empower you to be creative, upbeat and happy from a place of authenticity.
You will learn and practice tools proven to create exactly what you want in life.
You will find your purpose and gain clarity about your “Third Act.” You will know the secret of how to stay excited, motivated, and determined.
