In this special endings episode of The Inner Space Project Podcast, Patti focuses on the grief and loss of the empty nest. Even though we often don't think about that time as one of mourning, the Inner Space Project opens our eyes so that we can allow ALL feelings to be explored.

May is the time of year when many parents are preparing for high school and college graduations. To help you walk through this paradoxical transition, Patti invited conscious parenting coach and recent "empty-nester," Stacie Lovato to the mic!

Together, they dive into the paradox of saying goodbye to our children, and the human challenges around loving and letting go. This episode focuses on how we navigate the complexities of the empty nest with grace and ease. Conscious parenting is Stacie's passion and life-long lived experience. You will feel so much better as you hear her voice and share her experiences.

Stacie is a mom to three incredible young men ages 20, 23, and 26, a lifelong educator, a devoted wife, daughter, sister, and friend. As a conscious parenting coach, Stacie is passionate about helping parents slow down, connect deeply, and raise emotionally resilient kids. She is the host of Mindful Mama Conversations, a podcast where she explores the idea of connecting to others through meaningful conversations. These days, she is also nannying—what she lovingly calls her "grandma-in-training."

In this heartfelt episode of The Inner Space Project Podcast, Dr. Patti Ashley welcomes longtime friend Patrick Wilson, founder of Balance Mind Coaching.

Patrick Wilson is an advocate and coach for people who are wanting to create change and navigate transition but are struggling with mental patterns that undermine their progress. He focuses on helping people practice and apply simple, practical strategies to work more effectively with both their mind and their body. His work also emphasizes identifying values and creating an action plan that aligns actions with those values. His motto is do more important stuff with less mental noise!

Together, they dive into the “middle” of life—those messy, beautiful, and often confusing years where personal growth and transformation unfold. Dr. Ashley frames the conversation within her unique four-part structure: beginnings, middles, endings, and liminal spaces. This episode focuses on how we navigate the complexities of midlife transitions and the mental patterns that can either hold us back or help us evolve.

Patrick shares his journey of learning to work with his mind rather than against it, drawing from both personal experience and his work as a coach. With deep empathy and insight, he unpacks the ways overthinking, doubt, and control can disconnect us from the present—and how simple, practical strategies can restore balance.

Tune in for an honest, compassionate exploration of how we can align with our values, reconnect with our bodies, and move through life with more clarity and intention.
