    I have been blessed with having Tessa in my life for the past 25 years as a neighbor and friend! Throughout our life journey I have u invaluable and inspiring guidance that has helped me during good times and to ease the challenging times. But she didn’t stop there. Along with Tessa sharing her experience, wisdom and knowledge with her friends and family, she created The Open Nesters in order to elevate the lives of countless others. I am forever grateful!🙏❤️

  • So helpful!

    Tessa and Amir’s podcast Open Nesters is a reframe on a common experience of becoming or being an empty nester. It’s a tender time and these episodes bring inspiration to a time in life that can be a time of creativity while acknowledging the grief that may also exist.
