Episode #4: After Jen's son's high school graduation, watching him toss his cap in the air, she realized that her journey as a parent had taken a new turn. It's a mix of celebration and reflection as we embrace the changes that come with empty nesting in our 50s. This episode is a candid look at how we navigate this phase, starting with the triumphant co-parenting at Nate's graduation, where we learned that letting go of old animosities can transform family gatherings into joyous occasions. We also share heartwarming moments from our Thanksgiving celebrations, where the house was once again bustling with the sounds and smells of family togetherness, reminding us of the importance of tradition and the sweetness of new beginnings.

On the lighter side, you’ll hear about our hilarious misadventures in the world of dating at 50—spoiler: it's not as glamorous as you might think. From juggling the chaos of running errands on Jen's birthday to the unpredictability of dating apps and concierge services, there's never a dull moment. We recount these stories with a sprinkle of humor, highlighting the absurdities and challenges that come with seeking companionship later in life. As we wrap up, we invite you—our listeners—to join the conversation on Instagram, share your own stories, and help us spread the laughter.
