My son is moving out. I'm happy for him but I'm bereft. How can I stop feeling so terrible? | Leading questions

It's OK to not feel OK about something you know is good and right. This is a huge loss. One of the biggest chapters of your life is closing. Knowing that he deserves to feel free and happy about this does not mean you have to; his experience doesn't have to be your experience. You don't live life through his eyes, you live it as his parent.

In my thousands of hours of conversations with leaders, I discovered that we share a common belief: that our confidence will arrive once we receive a certain title or status. We think we will finally "feel" successful. But it doesn't happen that way. Self-doubt is always waiting at the edges of our capabilities. When we attempt to push doubt aside and ignore it, we reduce our ability to remain curious and respond most effectively.
