What does it mean to surround yourself with greatness, and how can the people around us help us become better?

When your kids leave home, everyone talks about how proud you’ll be, but no one really prepares you for how much you might miss them. Lisa is officially an empty nester, and she’s finding this new phase of life much more emotional than she expected. Dr. Rachel Glick joins Lisa to talk about empty nest syndrome, what to expect when your kids become adults, how to navigate the grief and relief that can come with this transition, and how to build a new relationship with your adult children, your spouse, and yourself. Because an empty nest may feel like a loss, but it’s also proof that your kids have learned how to fly.
Why can it be so hard to accept a compliment? Dr. Marisa G. Franco, a psychologist, researcher, and author, joins Lisa to explore how our sense of self-worth shapes the way we experience friendship, love, kindness, and relationships. She'll explain where worth comes from and how to reclaim it when we don't feel good about ourselves.

Gary Dixon, president of the Foundation for a Better Life, joins Lisa to talk about the power of simple values like courage, kindness, gratitude, and compassion.
