Beyond The Blueprint
The Empty Nest Blueprint for Single Parents Cover Reveal
May 08, 2024 by Anthony Damaschino
Prepare to be inspired! The cover reveal for The Empty Nest Blueprint for Single Parents is finally here. I love it when a book visually comes to life. And no more does this happen than when the cover is created and revealed. This is one of my favorite aspects of being an author. This process was different than book one in that there was already an established brand, and we could have a little more fun with the color pallet and graphics. George at G Sharp Designs did another fantastic job pulling in all the good of cover one and making this cover stand out on its own.
Stay tuned for the official launch in June 2024.
Embracing the Empty Nest Summit: A Recap
Apr 29, 2024 by Anthony Damaschino
What an incredible journey we shared at the Embracing the Empty Nest Summit! To all the fantastic participants, a heartfelt thank you for joining us.
As a speaker and participant, I was truly inspired by the energy and enthusiasm in the room. Together, over two days, we explored the exciting possibilities that await us as our children venture out on their own. The diverse panel of experts offered invaluable knowledge and actionable strategies to help us confidently navigate this new chapter. As I go through in both my books, empty nesters looking to foster stronger connections with their young adult children, find balance in the sandwich generation, navigate financial changes, and prioritize their well-being, the summit provided a wealth of resources.

Reflecting on the Empty Nest: A Moment of Sadness but Running Towards a Bright Future.
Mar 23, 2024 by Anthony Damaschino
One would think the author of a book on everything Empty Nest would be immune to the rollercoaster of emotions that come with being an Empty Nester. Further, the last of my three children left for college three years ago. So, what’s the issue? Yes, I have made positive adjustments on my journey into Empty Nesting. Yes, I’m working on my Empty Nest Blueprint all the time. And yes, I am living my Best Empty Nest Life. But…and there is always a but, there are times when a memory, thought, or the reality of one’s child or children not being around slides into one’s thoughts. For this Irish Italian runner, it happened on St. Patrick’s Day.
When my three children were roughly 7, 9, and 10, I started a little club for the four of us. It was called DIRT, which stood for the ‘Damaschino Independent Running Team.’ At different points and times, one, two, or all three of my children would join me on short runs through our neighborhood.

Peeling Back the Layers: Why Your Book Review is Sweeter Than Any Banana Slicer (But Don't Tell Kyle)

Feb 18, 2024 by Anthony Damaschino
When I hung up my 25-year HR cape, I thought the subject of written reviews was in my past. No more helping a manager kindly tell Tina that her perfume is too strong or that Pete’s inability to make eye contact when he talks makes his coworkers feel strange. I don’t miss crafting the words to help tell Kyle he will not get the promotion he thinks he deserves. And for the record, Kyle still has a lot of room to grow before he’s ready to become the Associate Director of All Things Kyle. For most managers, writing a review is a hard and burdensome chore. Delivering a review, especially to Tina, Pete, and Kyle, is equally tough.

Beware of The Self-Help Book Pitfalls
Jan 17, 2024 by Anthony Damaschino
Want to get rich, lose weight, get out of debt, find the love of your life, or be successful? An easy way to conquer these common life issues is to pick up the self-help book that promises the desired result and read it. If only the answer to life's problems were this simple.
One thing that most people don’t know about me is that I have been a closet personal, financial, and relationship self-help book bibliophile. As my career, interests, and personal goals have evolved throughout my life, I have dived into and explored many self-help categories in search of life’s answers. I wholeheartedly believe that there is wisdom in every book, and self-help books specifically, there is the wisdom of a well-defined problem and a proposed solution.
Beyond Resolutions: Embrace the Transformative Journey - Inspired by A Christmas Carol & It's a Wonderful Life
Dec 30, 2023 by Anthony Damaschino
I love New Year's Resolutions. But first, some context.
My favorite holiday movies are A Christmas Carol and It’s A Wonderful Life. I am not unique in having these be my holiday favorites; it’s similar to saying Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather are your favorite movies; everyone semi-agrees. But why do I like these two movies so much? It is because they each deliver a message I love.
