Welcome Friends!
Founders of Marraccini Chronicles and College Nesters™, Lea and Josh have been married for nearly 25 years and are parents of three, including two currently in college, and one new grandbaby. Through their own empty-nest transition—which happened to coincide with selling and stepping away from the business they built together—they discuss how parenting college students, midlife shifts, and major life transitions are changing both their family and their marriage.
Here you'll find connection, laughter, and reassurance that you're not alone in this stage.
