Episode 86 - Men-On-Pause: Why Your Marriage Depends on Him Understanding Menopause

The highest rate of divorce occurs between the ages of 45 and 55—and the majority are initiated by women. Is it just "empty nest syndrome," or is there something deeper going on?

Host Sam gets personal in this episode, sharing her own journey through perimenopause and separation after 30 years of marriage. She breaks down the startling statistics linking menopause to marital breakdown and explains why so many husbands feel "left out in the cold" while their partners are going through a monumental physical and psychological shift.

Samantha discusses:

• Why women in midlife are reinventing themselves (and why that scares their partners).
• The physical reasons behind the lack of intimacy (it’s not about rejection).
• The story of her grandmother, who was given shock therapy for what we now know were likely menopausal symptoms.
• The launch of "Men-On-Pause," a groundbreaking event designed to educate men on how to support the women in their lives.
