About This Podcast
dismissed. The Empty Nest Era is an upbeat, short-form bi-weekly podcast hosted by two moms navigating the empty‑nest years — and creating a space for other women to join the conversation. Jeni and Amy are former stay‑at‑home moms, dance moms, and good friends. In their 50s, they’re mothers to only daughters and married to the men they met in college. After years of pouring their energy into carpools, dance competitions, and epic birthday balloon walls, they’re finally turning the focus inward.
And now they’re asking:
"Oh crap—how do we do that?"
Let’s talk about it.
