EP. 352 Best to the Nest: Marriage vs. Career

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.

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.
