Biology Meets Breakup: The Hormonal Roots of the Menodivorce Surge with Alyx Coble-Frakes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why are midlife marriages dissolving at unprecedented rates? Is it cultural? Emotional? Spiritual?
Or is it something deeper — something biological?
This week on Reproductive Rebel, I’m joined by the brilliant Alyx Coble-Frakes for a raw, honest, body-literate conversation about the hormonal underpinnings of the menodivorce surge. Together, we dive into the midlife hormonal shifts that shape behavior, communication, libido, emotional capacity, and the invisible expectations placed on both women and men.
This episode is for anyone navigating midlife transformation — whether personally or alongside a partner — and wanting to understand why everything feels like it’s changing at once.
In this episode, we explore:
- The hormonal “break points” for midlife women entering perimenopause and menopause
- The often-ignored hormonal shifts of andropause in men
- How estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shape relational dynamics
- The nervous-system differences that lead to miscommunication and disconnection
- Why midlife is a spiritual and biological initiation, not a crisis
- How couples can navigate these changes with compassion instead of collapse
- What sovereignty looks like inside a changing body and a shifting relationship
