"What if the best years of your life are yet to come?”
I am here to help moms spread their wings as their little ones leave the nest.
The mission of BirdyLauncher is to partner with and support moms as you travel through the 3 phases of Successful Bird Launching:
Grief, Relief and Joy, with the end goal of becoming a Free Bird.
It doesn’t have to be a confusing and lonely time. There is a village… a flock… who is here for you now as you enter this bird launcher phase.
However, we are NOT empty nesters, we are in the phase of becoming FreeBirds!
We are social creatures, we need each other. This is not a transition we are meant to navigate on our own.
WHAT IS A BIRDY LAUNCHER?
That’s you! If you are a mama whose kids are about to fly off and leave the nest, then you are a BIRDY LAUNCHER.
As a birdy launcher, you are looking to successfully help launch your kid into the world as well as launch yourself into your next chapter in life.
* This phase is preparing you and your kid for the new adventures that await you both!
* This phase can start as early as your kid’s Junior year in High School and last well after they have flown.
Do you remember being pregnant? Reading ‘What to Expect When You Are Expecting’ and going to a zillion prenatal check-ups? People being excited for you, asking tons of questions and giving loads of (unwanted) advice? It was such a monumental experience, becoming a mom. How did they let you leave the hospital with a newborn? Most of us were filled with excitement, awe, and worry.
how do we become successful birdY launchers?
Many parents would describe parenting as the most important, challenging, time-consuming, and most meaningful and rewarding thing they will ever do.
It is said that the two most difficult times of parenting are when you bring your baby home from the hospital and when your much bigger baby leaves the nest…
Now, here you are, going through that other major life transition and shift and for many of us it’s a confusing and lonely time.
So much comes up: our changing identities and relationships, for many of us our changing bodies, this idea that ‘women of a certain age’ become invisible and lose our value.
In addition to missing their children, many moms report experiencing confusion and anxiety about their own lives. They feel stuck and unable to plan.
How do we best navigate our changing identities and relationships as the kids stretch their wings and fly off?

Being a BirdY Launcher is a process
A process of loss and grieving and yet also of pride and excitement. You may experience confusion and fear for what the rest of your life will be like.
Your little one is about to fly off and leave the nest. This is the second most impactful transition in your parenting life. You don’t have to go at it solo - there is support.
Here at BirdyLauncher, we don’t call it ‘empty nest’... The nest isn't empty - you are still there!
The process of shifting your parenting style, transferring the adulting responsibilities and of co-creating a mutual ‘adult’ relationship doesn’t happen overnight. It’s easier (and even smarter) to start when you are all still in the same nest.
And you can do it with joy and grace : )

Word of Mouth
“I highly recommend this workshop to anyone launching a young adult into the world. A transition like this is bound to evoke feelings of loss and loneliness, but Hanna does an exceptional job of reframing the "empty nest syndrome" to a more positive approach of "free birding". She empowered me to be proactive and think about the many ways I can prepare for the inevitable change in my relationship with my child.”
- Brook Vinnedge
“Hanna challenged us to explore a new yet tangible perspective—a surprising spin on the inevitable life shift—that helped break apart old thinking and make space to search for and build joy. I left feeling held by a supportive community and, most importantly, entirely enthusiastic about my delicious next phase of life.”
