Empty nesting isn't what it used to be—kids boomerang, transitions can stretch a decade (wait, what?!?) , and parents need new tools. Kari Cardinale, Chief Content Officer at Modern Elder Academy and empty nest expert, reframes this messy middle with her "revolving decade" approach. Why do launches take so long now? How do you build your "transitional quotient" (TQ) for these uncertain years? What's the trick for shifting from manager to consultant parent? Kari shares the three developmental stages of young adulthood (18-28) and reveals how to embrace this chrysalis moment—messy middle and all—while giving your kids room to grow. Time to reimagine this chapter, beauties.

In this warm conversation Tembi and Albiona cover:How From Scratch began — writing personal grief into a story that reaches others, and how that book later became a Netflix limited series. (Simon & Schuster)What “re-nesting” means (replacing the idea of an “empty nest” with a more generative, whole concept) and practical ways parents can prepare emotionally for children leaving home. (People.com)The creative process Tembi uses: listening, journaling, & exploring different art forms; writing as a practice to slow down and make meaning. (tembilocke.com)Concrete ideas listeners can use right away: short daily rituals (15–45 min), journaling prompts, scheduling “pre-planned joy,” somatic self-care, and negotiating new family rhythms like weekly check-ins.A deep look at Someday, Now — why Tembi created an immersive audio experience (ambient Sicily soundscapes plus narration), and what she hopes listeners will feel after they finish it: that there is possibility, love, and room for transformation even in endings.

 Insights from Makers Brian Benham and Greg Porter" In this episode of the Maker's Quest Podcast, hosts Brian Benham from Benham Design Concepts and Greg Porter from Skyscraper Guitars delved into the often-overlooked reality of failure in the creative process—especially when turning ideas into marketable products. Both seasoned makers shared candid stories of their struggles, lessons learned, and how embracing failure is a non-negotiable step toward innovation and profitability. Hosted by Brian Benham from Benham Design Concepts https://www.benhamdesignconcepts.com/ Brian Benham on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/benhamdesignconcepts.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXO8f1IIliMKKlu5PgSpodQ Greg Porter from SkyScraper Guitars https://skyscraperguitars.com/ Greg On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregsgaragekc/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SkyscraperGuitars  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GregsGarage   The CNC Learning Curve: Speed Isn't Always King Brian Benham, a furniture maker and CNC enthusiast, kicked off the discussion with his early trials on his new Avid CNC machine. His goal? To efficiently produce a yin-yang wine bottle holder. But his initial excitement was tempered by a harsh lesson: "I watched YouTube videos where people said, ‘Why are you running so slow? Crank it up!' So I did," Brian recalled. The result? Broken tabs, a mangled workpiece, and a smoking spindle. The high feed rate and aggressive depth of cut destroyed the part mid-operation. Greg Porter, a guitar maker and CNC veteran, nodded in agreement. "Dust is bad—you want chips," he explained, emphasizing that proper chip ejection prevents heat buildup and tool wear. Both makers stressed the importance of balancing speed with precision, especially when working with different materials like cherry (softer) versus walnut (denser). Workholding Woes and the "Maker's Dozen" Brian also shared a mishap where inadequate hold-downs led to a shifting workpiece, ruining a cut. His solution? Nesting parts efficiently and pre-drilling problematic areas to avoid tab failures. But the bigger takeaway was his "Maker's Dozen" philosophy: "Make 12 units at a time. Price for 10, because two might fail. By the next dozen, you've optimized the process," Brian said. This approach minimizes waste and allows incremental improvements without massive sunk costs. Greg added that for high-value materials (like exotic guitar woods), salvaging is worth the effort. But for sheet goods, sometimes tossing a botched piece saves more time than fixing it. 3D Printing: Prototyping's Best Friend The duo pivoted to 3D printing, where Greg showcased a gear assembly that took a dozen iterations just to fit a timing belt correctly. "Fail fast," he advised. "Get the mistakes out early." Brian echoed this, describing how he prints small test sections (like threaded parts) before committing to long prints. *"A 30-minute test beats a 3-hour disaster,"* he said. Both praised modern printers for reliability but acknowledged that vibration and material quirks still demand patience. Scaling Up: Robots and Revenue Looking ahead, Brian envisions his CNC as a cash-flow generator. Inspired by a photographer who sold everything from keychains to $5,000 prints, he plans to offer small, accessible products (like $25 cribbage boards) alongside high-end furniture. "The $25 items keep the lights on; the big commissions are the dream," he said. Greg, who runs multiple machines simultaneously, laughed: "When all three robots—CNC, laser, mill—are humming, I feel like a factory." But he cautioned that optimization is key. His "RTM" (Ready to Manufacture) files undergo dozens of tweaks to shave seconds off cycle times. The Bottom Line: Failure = Progress Both makers agreed: Failure isn't just inevitable—it's necessary. Whether it's dialing in feeds/speeds, salvaging scraps into new products (like Brian's failed cutting boards becoming trivets), or accepting that some ATMs (products) will stay unplugged, the path to success is paved with missteps.  

On the phone-in: Folklorist Clary Croft answers questions about traditional songs and stories. And off the top of the show, we speak with Mark McGarrigle with the NS department of Natural Resources about a pair of endangered piping plovers that have nested on Caribou-Munroes Island Provincial Park. Two chicks have hatched.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)"Nesting" sounds like the perfect solution when parents divorce – children stay in the comfort of their family home while mom and dad are the ones who rotate in and out. But what happens when one parent returns to find empty refrigerators, piles of dirty laundry, and dust bunnies the size of a softball? Tracy and Debra discuss both the promises and the pitfalls of this increasingly popular custody option.We unpack the logistics of maintaining multiple households, the financial strain this arrangement can create, and the exceptional level of communication required between separating spouses. From locked bedroom doors in shared apartments to negotiations about who buys the groceries, the seemingly small details often become major sticking points that can derail even the most well-intentioned nesting plans.While nesting can provide children with stability during the turbulence of divorce, it requires parents to honestly assess whether their co-parenting relationship can handle this unique arrangement. We share real client experiences, practical coaching strategies for evaluating if nesting aligns with your values, and crucial questions to consider before agreeing to this setup. For those willing to create clear agreements and boundaries, nesting might offer a compassionate transition period – but it's rarely a permanent solution.Whether you're contemplating this arrangement for your family or supporting clients through divorce as a coach, this discussion provides realistic guidance on when nesting works, when it doesn't, and how to set clear expectations from the beginning. If you've had experience with nesting arrangements, we'd love to hear about it – connect with us through social media or at divorcecoachesacademy.com to share your insights.

In this warm and wonderfully meandering episode of The Forest School Podcast, Lewis and Wem dive into The Joys and Shapes of Autistic Play by Max Alexander. Nestled among tangents about shouting sparrowhawks, jewel-encrusted slugs, and beloved sticks, they explore how Max's taxonomy of autistic play shapes offers both validation and practical insights for outdoor educators. Together, they unpack play types like pancake stacking, relational mapping, and object harmonising, and reflect on how this lens supports more inclusive, curious, and non-judgemental practice. The conversation touches on inner worlds, the limits of Bob Hughes' taxonomy, and the value of reframing behaviours through a neurodivergent-affirming perspective. With humour, honesty, and deep respect for Max's work, this episode is a love letter to the strange, sincere, and silly world of play.

A male Montezuma Oropendola holds forth in a tree bedecked with twenty or more hanging nests. The nests are intricately woven sacks hanging three feet or more from the branches. Oropendolas favor trees that are separate from other trees and often build near large nests of wasps, whose stinging attacks deter both potential nest predators and parasitic insects.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

People picture the Cape's beaches covered in gulls and maybe even terns and shorebirds, likely because their past visits were later in summer. As a result, someone arriving in June or even early July will be struck by how birdless the beaches are.

As you wander through an old farmyard, the incessant happy chatter of sparrows greets you. Nesting in the crumbling eaves, the colony has had a good year and the walls, shrubs and gutters teem with noisy fledglings and harassed parents.

My nesting party was one of my favorite days of my life. I know that sounds crazy, but it was so much more than getting my home ready for having a baby. It was a day where I was surrounded by my favorite women on this earth, humbly receiving their love, work, and care. It's a day that will always remind me that when I'm feeling alone, I'm actually not alone at all. I have women who love me. Today, I'm going to share the practical side of how to throw a nesting party and the heart side of why it meant so much to me. I'm going to have my friend and sister-in-law, Samantha Ray on to give her perspective of what it was like because she threw the nesting party for me. It's going to be a lot of fun!

My guest is James Sexton, Esq., a renowned attorney specializing in contracts related to love and money—prenuptial agreements, divorce and custody. We explore the counterintuitive fact that people with prenuptial agreements tend to stay married longer and report more satisfying relationships than those who don't. We discuss how legal contracts can foster deeper understanding by encouraging vulnerability and honest communication about each partner's values and expectations. We also examine what defines true, lasting love versus generic romantic ideals—and how social media can distort our understanding of what we truly need. Additionally, we review how cultural traditions, gender dynamics, courtship length, and age at the time of marriage shape marital outcomes. This episode offers practical tools for anyone—single or partnered—to build more successful and stable relationships through deeply honest dialogue and contracts that reflect genuine values around love and money.
