[Tessa] In this episode, we engage with Anne More, a returning guest whose insights on aging and eroticism resonate deeply with our journey as open nesters. We explore the concept of “open nesting”—a vibrant approach to life after children have left home.

This discussion is enriched by Anne’s expertise in boundaries, sensuality, and the celebration of aging. Our focus is not just on surviving this stage of life, but thriving by opening ourselves up to new possibilities in relationships, passions, and self-discovery

We dive into the importance of celebrating our bodies as we age, acknowledging the physical changes that come with time. Anne shares her wisdom on shifting the conversation from self-judgment to acceptance, emphasizing the power of surrender in our journey of self-love. We reflect on how it can be challenging to embrace the changes our bodies undergo, particularly when influenced by societal standards and expectations regarding beauty and youth. Through compassionate dialogue, we explore how close interactions with nature can foster a sense of belonging and acceptance for our evolving selves.
