Hey Julie! I'd LOVE to talk to you about this. I work with Chip Conley at MEA (a modern wisdom school) as the Chief Content Officer and Partner. I am exactly in the demographic you are exploring for your book and have also been creating a course on reframing the empty nest as more and more parents have kids from ages 18-28+ living at home and are struggling with the guilt if they are perceived as having a kid who "failed to launch" yet over 40% of this age group are now living at home. With four grown offspring, I have had my empty nest look a lot more like a revolving door! I am in the Woodside and would love to connect: Kari@meawisdom.com

Great topic, Julie. Yes. Our single (divorced) 50-something son lives with us. Lots of advantages and some disadvantages (especially since he does not share our political views). All in all, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages for all of us. Glad to help with your survey and to cheer you on. I love all of your books. Write on, girlfriend!
