Show Notes for Ep. 46 "Anticipatory Nest Grief"
Mary Anne and Ben find themselves feeling a particular sort of grief: the anticipation of the empty nest kind of grief. Both hosts have children that will one day leave the nest to become individuals of their own in the world, and they’re not quite sure how they feel about that. The two also discuss projects they are working on, time management, and the implications of where people choose to live.
