HOST JACKIE TANTILLO – “Keeping Her Head Above Water” with Guest Author, Podcaster and Advocate for the Empty Nest Mom, Bobbi Chegwyn

  1. HOST JACKIE TANTILLO - “Keeping Her Head Above Water” with Guest Author, Podcaster and Advocate for the Empty Nest Mom, Bobbi Chegwyn 27:29

Bobbi has such a wonderful perspective on life and I think it really comes through during our conversation about her mother and her childhood. Leila, Bobbi’s mom was loving and had her hands full with eight children. She had an orderly way of making sure everything got done and the kids all happy. She also took the time, morning and evening, to spend a few minutes with her husband.  The Family traveled together and spend lots of time enjoying their adventures by the sea.

Author, Podcaster and Advocate for the Empty Nest Mom.

Since becoming an Advanced Practitioner of Life Coaching and Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming with The Coaching Institute in Melbourne, Australia in 2008, as well as a Reiki Practitioner in 1997, Bobbi has helped hundreds of women breakthrough challenging life transitions.

​She is the author of The Post Nest Plan, 10 Reasons You May Not Be Happy & 10 Remedies So You Can Be, 12 Steps to Self-Empowerment, creator of the Self Inventory for the Savvy Sisterhood workshop, has contributed in self-help features for Cleo & Cosmopolitan magazines in Australia, wrote the weekly Life Matters column for an Australian newspaper, and penned the viral quote “Your perception of me is a reflection of you; my reaction to you is an awareness of me.” in June 2012

​She knows her purpose and it’s this: “You matter in this world. If I’m going to help myself, I’ll help you, too.”

Her style, content and delivery stems from her own personal experience of going through challenges that are similar to her audience, using her expertise to coach herself through them, and then bringing those self-inventory techniques and newfound awareness to women who are struggling.

She brings humor, self-deprecation and realness along with empathy, a deep and personal understanding of pain, and the ‘Australian mateship’ attitude: the bonds of loyalty and equality, and feelings of solidarity and sisterhood.
