Producer Aunt Lizzy is back from Australia, and joins us to share a bit about her adventures and her work that takes her around the globe. We chat Halloween cocktails, the history of makeup, and why Amy must drive everywhere. Plus, we debate favorite fall movies and get a bit passionate about voting.

This week, the Empty Nest Happy Hour welcomes Suzy Mighell, founder of the blog Empty Nest Blessed. Suzy shares her journey through empty nesting, offering tips on embracing the freedom and joy of this phase, along with practical advice on parenting adult children. The conversation covers the emotional ups and downs of the transition, surprising perks like self-care, and how Suzy found her purpose in helping others through her platform.

Segments:

• Tip of the Week: Erin recommends the Pamela Anderson documentary on Netflix, Amy highlights Will and Harper, and Danielle’s hilarious bra-strap moment takes center stage.
• Cheers to That: Amy celebrates finding her lost iPad, Danielle toasts to fall foliage, and Erin finally meets the mysterious “Garage Smoker.”
• Last Call: Erin rants about gender reveal parties, and Amy critiques the rise of “boo baskets” for Halloween.

We’re taking a short break this week because, well, our trusty producer, Aunt Lizzy, is off traveling for work in Australia, and let’s just say, we haven’t quite mastered the tech side of things on our own. We will be back next week with a great episode. In the meantime, sign up for our newsletter at www.emptynesthappyhour.com.
