It reveals what’s been ignored.If you’ve ever looked at your relationship and thought“How did we get here?”or“Why does everything suddenly feel so hard?”You’re not alone and your marriage isn’t broken.In this episode, I’m joined by Somatic Life Coach Mikki Gardner to unpack why so many couples experience tension, resentment, or even separation during midlife and what’s actually happening beneath the surface.We talk about the emotional load many women carry, how years of self-silencing lead to disconnection, and why midlife often becomes the turning point where everything that’s been buried rises to the surface.More importantly, we walk through what you can do now to navigate this phase intentionally so your marriage can evolve instead of unravel.What You’ll Learn:- Why midlife changes feel sudden (but aren’t)- The real reason resentment builds in long-term relationships- How self-betrayal quietly erodes connection over time- What it actually looks like to communicate needs effectively- Why “saying something” isn’t the same as creating change- How to start shifting your relationship without blowing it upConnect with Mikki:Website: https://www.mikkigardner.com/Podcast: https://www.mikkigardner.com/podcastInstagram: @mikkigardnerThanks for listening!Connect and send a message letting me know what you took away from this episode: @michellepurtacoachingIf you would like to support this show, please rate and review the show, and share it with people you know would love this show too!Ready to put a stop to the arguments in your marriage?  Watch this free masterclass - The #1 Conversation Married Couples Need To Have (But Aren't)Support the show
