When Elizabeth Ries and Margery Punnett hosted a myTalk 107.1 radio show together, they joked that their most personal conversations happened during the commercial breaks. During one of these pauses, Margery shared an important family principle: bringing your best self to your home. Being an urban farmer with a flock of chickens, Elizabeth quipped, "Bring your best to the nest!" The outside world shouldn't get the smiling happy version of you while your family gets the crabby and exhausted one. On "Best To The Nest," Margery & Elizabeth explore the simple concept of creating strong, comforting, beautiful nests that prepare us to fly.

Nostalgia
The Show Notes
We are taking a moment to ponder the value of childhood nostalgia and the role that all of our digital devices play in it. We have research, and we are going to use it!

Whoa!!!
We came across this essay in Time: “The Parents Who Regret Having Children.”
https://time.com/6966914/parental-regret-children-ro-kwon-essay/
Whoa!
This is a conversation most parents aren't comfortable having, but we are. And it’s late so…we laugh, we cry, serial killers somehow come up, and, yes, that is a toilet flushing.

Customer Reviews
Authentic
Even though this podcast isn’t specifically geared for me (my kids are grown and out of the nest), I love the chemistry between Margery & Elizabeth. The topics they discuss are always interesting and they both bring a different perspective to whatever is being discussed They laugh and boy do they cry-lol. But that’s a good thing because they are not afraid to bring authenticity to the podcast. Well done and professionally produced, Best to the Nest makes for a great weekly companion as you walk, drive or do chores around your nest! Matt
Best to the nest
I found out about this podcast watching Twin Cities live I love listening to these two women. I feel a real connection with their stories. They share from the Duluth area originally from the Minneapolis area and it feels like home. Karen from Carlton.
I so enjoy the late night episode. Thank you, Thank you for sharing with us all.
Karen from Carlton.
Deus te amat
This is old curmudgeonly Tom in California, the widower you took into the Nest a few years ago after I heard Ian’s plug for your podcast and told you how much listening to the two of you helped rekindle my late wife’s place in my home. I so sympathize with Marjorie and Elizabeth too. I cried again listening to Marjorie’s return broadcast.
As Ian signed off of his broadcasts I just want to say: “Deus te amat, and I do too!”
