Show Notes

We recorded this two hours before heading to the airport.

Snowstorm inbound. Red-eye to JFK. Then Punta Cana.

But this week wasn’t really about travel.

Our daughter got the keys to her first apartment, and lost her job the same day.

We talk about:

• What it feels like to truly become empty nesters
• Letting your adult children struggle (with a grandson in the picture)
• The psychology of “liminal phases”, the in-between spaces
• Botox bruises before a work trip 😅
• Leading high-performing teams through transition
• And entering our 30th year together

This week’s vinyl: Romeo Santos | Golden

No script. No fixing.
Just reflection in the doorway between seasons.

Welcome to The Manuel Transmission.
