- Society & Culture
This is a podcast about family, led by two sisters and their mom.
An experiment in generational nesting which is, in essence, the ways in which family holds together throughout the lives of its members, their joys, their hardships, their care, their living, breathing roots, and legacies in the making. It’s never too early or too late to add a twig to the nest and roost!

NTEN - s6, ep. 3 "Father Robert Vallee: The Nest of Faith"
Our nests are not just our immediate family, they are also our extended families. Our doctors, our friends, our priests and spiritual guides, our counselors, our aunts and uncles, our honorary aunts and uncles, our teachers, our mentors. On this episode of nest, we cast the nest’s net to faith and the community it catches, as a result.

Emiliana was a high-powered, fast-paced woman on the rise in journalism. She’d reached one of the pinnacles of media coverage: she was covering the White House. When something shook her nest from the very roots, Emiliana had a kind of awakening. Today, she seeks truth, joy, and is trying to bring her awakening to the nest of journalism itself.

NTEN - s5 FINALE, ep. 9-10 "Hashing it Out"
Life doesn’t always go as planned, and neither do episodes. Sometimes though, it’s even better. We end season 5 with a kind of hash brown platter. We think it’s crispy and yummy and reinvigorating — hope you do too! Our nest is filled with love, from our nest to yours.

NTEN - s5, ep. 8 "Andrea Gollin - Taking Care of Dad"
When her dad had a health scare, Andrea moved in with him. Her friends told her she was crazy, that she was wasting her life, even some of her family members thought she’d lost it, but Andrea has another point of view. These days with her dad have their ups and downs, some are magical, some much grittier and grumpier than others, but, overall, it just feels “right,” and enlightening. Andrea’s also asking herself whether we don’t have it all wrong when it comes to how we care for the elderly in our society. We explore the ins and outs of what it means to go back to the nest to care of papa bird.

NTEN - s5, ep. 7 "To Freeze or Not to Freeze, Your Eggs We Mean"
Vanessa’s business partner in her production company, Victoria Collado - aka: Vicky - is pushing 35 and she hasn’t found the right guy yet. Ideally, in her book, she finds the right guy and then has a baby with him, but what if the egg comes before the chicken? Vicky’s got a sense of humor about it, but in all seriousness, what she’s dealing with is something many successful women deal with. Our bodies have clocks, and we have to make decisions around them… So what to do? Vicky discusses with the nest.
