Ingrid and Lesley explore how the concept of "nesting" extends far beyond pregnancy, revealing it as a valuable practice before any significant life transition. They'll uncover why clearing the decks early can transform how you experience major changes and share practical strategies for creating calm before the storm.

In this episode, you'll discover why nesting behaviours emerge naturally during transitions and how embracing this instinct can help you feel more prepared and grounded. The hosts share personal stories, including Ingrid's determination to mow the lawn at eight and a half months pregnant and Lesley's experience of "clearing the decks" after her daughter moved out.
