EP. 334 Best to the Nest: After Dark

When Elizabeth Ries and Margery Punnett hosted a myTalk 107.1 radio show together, they joked that their most personal conversations happened during the commercial breaks. During one of these pauses, Margery shared an important family principle: bringing your best self to your home. Being an urban farmer with a flock of chickens, Elizabeth quipped, "Bring your best to the nest!" The outside world shouldn't get the smiling happy version of you while your family gets the crabby and exhausted one. On "Best To The Nest," Margery & Elizabeth explore the simple concept of creating strong, comforting, beautiful nests that prepare us to fly.

The Show Notes
We are taking a moment to ponder the value of childhood nostalgia and the role that all of our digital devices play in it. We have research, and we are going to use it!

EP. 385 Best to the Nest: Nostalgia

We came across this essay in Time: “The Parents Who Regret Having Children.” 
https://time.com/6966914/parental-regret-children-ro-kwon-essay/
Whoa! 
This is a conversation most parents aren't comfortable having, but we are. And it’s late so…we laugh, we cry, serial killers somehow come up, and, yes, that is a toilet flushing.
