Open Nesters is a term we devised when we did not like the idea that our lives would now be “empty” without our kids. We wanted more. Open Nesters invites us to explore more of ourselves as well as one another at this transitional time. Life can offer so much possibility at this juncture. Push the red Play button to hear Tessa and Amir discuss Open Nesting.
We have heard too many people our age adopt the expressions of their parents and grandparents “we live for our kids”! (particularly voiced by women), and, while our kids are central to our lives, we seek to claim our own ACT III of life.
We fully cherish and continue to nurture wonderful relationships with our adult children, yet we also want to live our lives with new curiosity, exploration and excitement and remain healthy and curious about what comes next.
Many Open Nesters are single – divorced or widowed – and we will be interviewing people who have come through the ‘comfort zone’ of security, through discomfort, and into brand new exciting space. We can all explore more openness at all stages of life as we welcome a new journey for openings.
