NEW EPISODE: My son's headed to college...What now?

Hey ya'll

This season of life is bringing all the feels. My oldest, Beau, is heading off to college, and my youngest just started driving solo. So yeah—I’ve been riding a rollercoaster of emotions over here!

This week on The Kim Gravel Show, I’m opening up about what it really feels like to let go as a parent—and how we move forward when our kids start spreading their wings.

If you’re stepping into a new chapter too, here are 3 truths I’m holding onto:

 1. Letting Go Is a Process

You’re allowed to feel it all—joy, sadness, regret, pride. Change is emotional, and that doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human. Let yourself feel, and don’t rush the process.

 2. This Is the “What Now?” Stage

This chapter isn’t the end—it’s your beginning. Whether it’s starting a side hustle, traveling, learning something new, or finally doing that one thing you’ve been putting off… this is your time to rediscover YOU.

 3. Be the Example, Not the Perfection

Your kids don’t need a flawless parent—they need a real one. The way you show up in this season—messy, brave, and honest—is what teaches them how to live boldly too.

If you’re in a moment of change, I see you. Whether you’re navigating the almost-empty nest or just asking yourself, “what now?”—you’re not alone, and we are figuring it out together.

Summer may be winding down, but the hustle is just heating up! Whether you're packing lunches, running to practice, or diving back into work mode, staying nourished shouldn’t be another thing on your to-do list.
