Meet Mandy & Lauren

The Mother-Daughter Besties behind The Empty Nest Mom.

We laugh loud. We love big. We tell the truth.
And we bring Women together in a way that feels like a girls’ night mixed with a breakthrough moment.
Whether we’re on a stage, in a podcast studio, or sitting cross-legged on someone’s living room floor…
we make Women feel seen, safe, and lit up again

  • Corporate & leadership keynotes
  • Panels, fireside chats + Mom nights

Whether we’re on a stage, in a podcast studio, or sitting cross-legged on someone’s living room floor…
we make Women feel seen, safe, and lit up again.

If you want your audience to feel something — we’re your people.
