Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend! This episode is the first of four recap episodes for this calendar year. I'm sharing episodes that have resonated with you (my amazing listener) in 2019.

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend! As it is Thanksgiving week here in the United States, and since this is a podcast episode, I thought it would be appropriate to share a podcaster I am thankful for. Please note that, of course, I am incredibly thankful for my patient and supportive husband, my incredibly creative and kind-hearted daughter, my friends and extended family, my health and all that comes with the privilege of being alive on this earth at this moment. Oh, and pumpkin pie - thankful for pumpkin pie! I WILL treat myself with some pumpkin pie. While this episode is a bit longer than my usual episode, it is an incredibly interesting listen. Carolyn was kind enough to share one of her episodes with me that I handpicked for you. Nikhil Pampati is a high school senior who has created a nonprofit that is incredibly needed and inspiring. I invite you to listen to this episode, maybe even take a listen in the car with your child(ren) and have some exciting discussions about it. The full transcript is available on my website.
