We are back for season 2 of Motherhood Beyond Books and we're so excited to share more on all aspects of motherhood with you. In this episode we are talking about Empty Nest Syndrome. It's that time of year when many of you may have dropped a child off for the first time at nursery, university, or boarding school, or even just preparing for that day in the not-too-distant future. The term "empty nest syndrome" was actually first proposed back in 1914. It described the slide into depression that supposedly occurred for women after their last child left home, leaving them without the daily meaning and structure provided by their roles as mothers.
