Our mission

The Open Nesters Podcast has a mission to empower and inspire others whose children are now adults. We seek to imbibe this stage of life, ACT III, with curiosity about the new possibilities and surprises yet to be experienced.

Our personal goals are also a part of our mission as we believe that being open minded and open hearted, and connecting more deeply as well as uniquely to new experiences and people will keep us healthy & vital and we welcome others to integrate these goals into their lives as individuals and a couple.

Another aspect of our mission is to inspire more fun , exploration and the building of a new community of open nesters around the world.

By hearing about the possibilities others are exploring as Open Nesters, we hope you will be inspired to live at the edge of your curiosity.
