Welcome to the Empty Nest Happy Hour
Podcast Newsletter
Where it’s always happy, because the nest is empty.
WELCOME
The kids may have flown the coop, but we're here to make sure your sense of humor didn't go with them. Welcome to the party where laughter, cocktails, mocktails, and middle-aged mayhem are always on the menu! Whether you’re dancing in your living room because you’ve reclaimed the TV remote or still sobbing into your coffee because no one’s asking for the Netflix password, we’ve got you covered, and we’re so excited you’ve joined the ride!
This newsletter is our way of keeping you in the loop on the latest podcast episodes, life updates, and everything in between (don’t worry, it’s more fun than your neighbor’s HOA emails). Grab a drink (non-alcohol is always welcome!), kick back, and let’s toast to the next adventure—because who says life slows down after the kids move out? Not us!
PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS
Well, look at us – we’re finally getting the hang of this podcasting thing! It only took a few episodes, some spilled drinks, and a lot of tech support (thank you producer Lizzy), but hey, we’ve made it!
Check out our latest episode where we dive into the wild world of empty nesting, dorm drop-offs, and how we’re navigating the quiet.
Whether you were here for our first episode, our dorm drop off recap, or our latest episode where we discuss the women who inspired us—thanks for being here! We hope you’ll stick around, laugh with us, and hit that subscribe button!
BEHIND-THE-SCENES
Behind the scenes at Empty Nest HQ, aka Amy’s basement! It’s all fun and games until the dog barks in the middle of us talking.
COCKTAILS
We’re finally getting our act together with real cocktails—gone are the days of repeat wine and Tito’s! We may only have one drink to share this time, but trust us, it’s a good one! Cheers to leveling up our happy hour game!
Lemon Drop Martini
2 ounces of vodka
¾ ounce of cointreau
1 ounce of fresh squeezed lemon juice
¾ ounce of simple syrup
If you’re looking to whip up a whole batch, check out the AllRecipes video! Just a friendly reminder—martinis are all alcohol, so proceed with caution!
WHAT’S COMING UP
After all the cheerful dorm drop-offs, we’re shifting gears to life as official empty nesters—cue the freedom and the extra glass of wine! Plus, we’ve got a special guest joining us to spill the tea on their own post-kid adventures.
Stay tuned—it’s about to get even more fun!
