If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Who even am I right now?" - you're not alone.

This episode is a must-listen for couples navigating midlife, marriage, and the hormonal rollercoaster known as perimenopause (and andropause — yes, it's a thing). My guest Brooke Davis gets real about how these changes can wreck emotional regulation and connection if we’re not prepared.

We talk about:

  • The invisible link between hormones and relationship breakdowns

  • How decent marriages fall apart in midlife, and what to do instead

  • Practical ways to rebuild emotional safety, communication, and intimacy

💥 PSA: This season of life doesn't have to end in divorce or dead bedrooms. But it does require new tools.
