Back To The Nest
Back To The Nest is a monthly podcast where Leah Kern sits down with a loved one to swap “acorns”—little tips and insights we’re currently leaning into. Acorns can be trivial things, like a fun new way to store earrings or a brand of clear lip gloss that tastes like vanilla and isn’t too sticky. But they can also be deeper nuggets of wisdom—lessons from therapy, profound lyrics, or a tip to calm existential anxiety. Acorns are the things we gather along the way, and Back To The Nest is the place we share them with you.
