(#019) Midlife Marriage & Keeping the Spark Alive with Melissa Murphy

In this candid continuation of my conversation with Melissa Murphy, we drop the filters and let you in on the kind of chat we'd have over coffee or on a hike. We talk about marriage in midlife—how it shifts as kids grow up, the importance of seeing each other again with fresh eyes, and the work (and fun) it takes to keep the connection alive after decades together. Melissa opens up about her own 24-year marriage, the role therapy has played, and what it means to grow together rather than apart. We also wander into the real, behind-the-scenes stuff—my work as a sex and relationship coach, Melissa's exciting new coaching offer for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, and why sometimes the bravest thing we can do is try something new before we hit "rock bottom." In this episode, you'll hear us talk about: How to rekindle intimacy and connection in long-term relationships The surprising benefits of therapy or coaching—for yourself and your marriage Melissa's personalized "Now What?" coaching offer for women ready to feel their best in midlife - just in time for FALL!
