We have an extra-special podcast today with my husband, Todd, where we answer many listeners' questions about our relationship, how we met, and our shared interests.

In this episode, Todd and I discuss ways to support your partner through perimenopause and menopause, the importance of shared interests and connections, and why communication is essential in midlife relationships. Todd shares his views on fatherhood and marriage, how physical activity and food are integral to our relationship, and the empty-nest/open door season of our lives. He also describes his own health and daily lifestyle, the bigger picture in our relationship, and we share some lighthearted and fun discussions.

I love the interest this topic has generated, and I truly hope you and your significant other will find it an invaluable conversation about navigating midlife as a couple.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

How education and communication can help couples navigate the menopause experience



The changes Todd has noticed in my personality since my 30s
