I Cashed Out My 401(k) to Build a Women’s Only Retirement Community

Podcast cover

Modern Love

In this episode of Modern Love, host Anna Martin interviews Robyn Yerian and Cheryl Huff, the founders of the Bird's Nest, an all-women's community in Texas for women over 60. They discuss the sense of freedom, support, and joy they've found in creating a space where women can age together without traditional societal expectations or dependence on men. They share personal anecdotes about the ease of communication and shared experiences in an all-female environment, the empowerment they've gained from tackling challenges independently, and their approach to aging, focusing on mutual support and living in the moment rather than dwelling on potential future difficulties. They hope their community can serve as an inspiration for other women to create similar support systems.
