Please Don’t Turn My Move Into a Goodbye Tour

We’ve hit the big 5-0, and we’re celebrating with sweaty drinks, sentimental transitions, and a reality check from our grown kids’ perspective. This week, we unpack what it really means when your kids are moving into their first real apartments—not dorms, not summer sublets—actual leases, utility bills, and Target runs for forks. While we’re misty-eyed thinking about their baby blankets, our kids are thinking, “Please don’t turn my move into a goodbye tour.” So we read their minds (ok, fine—an article), and talk about: * Why they really don’t want you to visit until they have silverware * The difference between checking in and low-key stalking * Avoiding the guilt texts (seriously, stop crying in their old bedrooms) * Letting go of the “Find My iPhone” parenting style * And how to respect their actual adulting Also in this episode: * The “Corn Sweat Cooler” cocktail debuts in honor of peak Midwest humidity * A community cheers to that for an inclusive new local dance bar for grown women with moves and opinions * A listener surprise that proves the world—and the internet—is hilariously small Whether you're driving the U-Haul or crying into a box of their Beanie Babies, this one's for you.

No Camping, But Lots of Ghost Stories

This week on Empty Nest Happy Hour, Danielle and Amy are fully in their summer era—tank tops on, cocktails in hand, and spirits (of both the bourbon and ghostly variety) in full swing. They kick off with a celebratory Summer Breeze cocktail and a toast to their kids landing real grown-up jobs (and moving far, far away—cue the bittersweet feelings). But just when you think it's a typical empty nest summer check-in, things take a turn… into the supernatural.
