THE COLLECTIVE
"As a mom who has joined the empty nest journey, you now have the remarkable opportunity to nurture your personal growth, embark on a journey of self-discovery, and pursue your long-held aspirations. It's your moment to step onto the stage of your own life, radiate with your unique brilliance, and become part of my mission to build an exceptional community of inspired, ambitious empty-nester moms committed to nurturing their dreams and transforming them into the vibrant lives they envision.
The Vision
Empowering Mothers to Redefine Their Potentials
At The Recalibrated Mom, we envision a world where motherhood is embraced as a journey of personal growth and empowerment. Our mission is to provide a supportive platform that empowers mothers to rediscover their strengths, passions, and potential beyond the realm of parenting. We believe that every mother has a unique story, and we are committed to fostering a community where they can embrace their individuality and harness their talents.
Through our carefully curated resources, insightful articles, and uplifting community, we aim to empower mothers to redefine their potentials. We inspire them to embrace self-care as a necessary component of their well-being and encourage them to create a fulfilling and balanced life that goes beyond their role as a parent. Our vision is to help each mother unlock her true potential and live a life of purpose, confidence, and joy.
The Purpose
We established this community with the intention of providing a secure haven where no aspiration is deemed too grand, and no goal too lofty if you are wondering what’s next, what’s left?
At The Recalibrated Mom, we are eliminating the notion that motherhood should limit a woman's ambition or dreams just because she’s a mother. Together, we envision a future where every mother realizes her worth, pursues her passions, and confidently embraces her unique journey of motherhood, unlocking the limitless possibilities that lie within her.
The path to discovering a new lane for yourself can often feel isolating, and lonely which is why I take immense pride in uniting a phenomenal network of women. I want to acknowledge the significance of cultivating an environment for personal growth and support to make this transition a meaningful one. Surrounding yourself with other beautiful spirits who are embarking on the very same similar journeys is the ultimate catalyst for elevating and enhancing your life experience at this stage is totally needed.
Who we are and how can we serve you?
The TRM Collective is here to empower and support women who are empty nesters, providing a nurturing community and essential resources to help you navigate this new chapter of life. Discover the guidance, inspiration, and skills you need to thrive in every aspect of your journey.

Hello! I’m Vicki
The moment when your children have grown, spread their wings, and ventured into the world. As a mother, their departure can leave a void that feels insurmountable. But little did I know, this new chapter could be a gateway to a happier life.
At first, the empty nest stage felt disorienting. The bustling household I had become accustomed to was now replaced by silence, and the absence of laughter and bickering created an emptiness that echoed throughout the rooms. But dwelling on this void would only lead to melancholy and missed opportunities for personal growth.
To rewrite this period into one of happiness, I focused on reframing my perspective. Rather than mourning the past, I embraced the present and looked forward to the future. Here are a few strategies that helped me navigate this transition with newfound joy:
Discovering My Own Passions
Raising children often consumes a significant portion of our lives. Sometimes, not realizing just how much. We just jump in and get to work as mothers, there are no breaks in between. So suddenly finding myself with free time and fewer responsibilities, I saw this as an opportunity to reconnect with neglected interests, that I had once loved and somehow pushed aside so long ago. I revisited hobbies like painting, writing, and lots of reading, allowing myself the freedom to indulge in activities solely for my own enjoyment again. Completely uninterrupted. Rediscovering the pleasures of personal passions not only filled my time but also reignited a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
I needed to do more…
When I decided to write my own next chapter, I realized that this doesn’t have to be scary or faced with loneliness, It’s about how you choose to approach this new phase in your life. I choose to greet this next level with joy and expectation of what’s to come. I look at it as a right of passage in a lot of ways. I’ve earned this, I’ve graduated, and now I get to enjoy the fruits of that labor by allowing my children to become the vibrant young adults that I invested my life into, become the beautiful spirited humans I raised them to be! By the way, this beautiful little spirit is now a fully grown balanced, very evolved young woman who is living her best life and becoming the amazing spirit she is destined to become. She is my inspiration! Knowing this, Allows me to give myself permission to now step into my greatness, and I’m inviting more moms to join me!
Building Connection Beyond the Nest
While my children may have flown away, the need for connection and community remained. I began to actively seek out opportunities to build relationships and connect with others who were navigating the same life stage. Creating all types of events, virtual as well as in person, volunteering, or taking up a new class provided avenues to meet individuals with similar interests, creating a sense of camaraderie and shared experiences. Realizing that life goes on beyond the confines of my empty nest helped me find new happiness in these newfound connections.
Rekindling Relationships
With the increased free time, I made a conscious effort to reconnect with my husband, friends, and family members. The demands of parenting often put a strain on these relationships, leaving them neglected. Making time for meaningful conversations, shared activities, and cherished traditions as well as creating new ones allowed me to strengthen these bonds. Sharing the stories and experiences of my children's new adventures with loved ones not only deepened our connection but also fostered a renewed sense of belonging and love
Pursuing Personal Growth
As an empty nester, my personal growth became a central focus. Learning new skills, taking up new courses, and pursuing a whole career change provided a sense of accomplishment and progress. Engaging in self-improvement activities not only boosted my confidence but also opened doors to exciting opportunities that I may not have considered before. The journey of self-discovery during this phase allowed me to evolve as an individual and embrace new facets of my identity, bringing immense happiness and satisfaction.
Cherishing the Moments
Although my children no longer reside under the same roof, moments of togetherness remain precious, albeit in a different form. Creating new rituals and traditions, such as weekly family dinners or annual vacations, allowed me to cherish the time spent with my grown children. Embracing the changes and adapting our relationships to fit this new dynamic nurtured a sense of joy and fulfillment in knowing that love transcends distance and time.
The empty nest stage need not be characterized by sorrow and longing. By shifting our perspective and embracing this new chapter in our lives, we can find untapped sources of happiness and fulfillment. Rediscovering ourselves, building connections, pursuing personal growth, and cherishing the moments we share with our children can transform the empty nest into a launchpad for a happier and more enriching life.
