The Return Of The Empty Nest - E100

The house is quiet again... and we’re back in the studio. The return of the empty nest, even for the 3rd time, stirs up a wide range of feelings. 

In this milestone 100th episode, we reflect on how much has changed... since starting the podcast, since our first round of empty nest living, and even just since last summer. From Iceland inside jokes to unexpected museum noises to the rediscovery of personal space (and skinny dipping), we talk through the return of the quiet, what we’ve learned, and why we’re still choosing each other in year three.

And mostly... we just want to say thank you. This podcast exists because of you. Whether you’ve listened to one episode or all 100, your support means everything.
