07-24-25 Come Back to Love® Radio: Redefining Love, Freedom & Connection in the Next Chapter
Guests: Tessa and Amir, co-hosts of The Open Nesters podcast
In this inspiring and thought-provoking episode, Robyn welcomes Tessa and Amir, life partners and hosts of The Open Nesters, a podcast and movement redefining what love, intimacy, and purpose can look like after the nest empties.
Together, they explore how to navigate the transition from parenting-focused partnerships to deeper self-discovery, sensuality, and freedom in midlife and beyond. With humor, insight, and vulnerability, Tessa and Amir share their journey of evolving into an open relationship, the challenges and gifts it’s brought, and how this new chapter has deepened their connection—both to each other and to themselves.
Topics include:
- Reclaiming your identity and desires after kids leave home
- What it really means to be in an open, conscious relationship
- How mature love invites authenticity, adventure, and spiritual growth
- The power of curiosity, communication, and freedom in long-term partnership
If you’re feeling the stirrings of something more in midlife—more passion, purpose, or possibility—this conversation invites you to reimagine what’s next
Tune in to hear how love can evolve, deepen, and expand… when we allow ourselves to do the same.
