My Live Chat with Melissa Vogel

from Dad Starting Over · host Dad Starting Over

In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Vogel — fitness and mindset coach, podcast host, and a woman who’s been through divorce herself — for one of the most honest conversations I’ve had about modern relationships.We talk about what really happens to marriages after kids arrive, why men and women slowly disconnect without realizing it, and how good people end up emotionally checked out years before divorce ever happens.Melissa opens up about her own marriage, why she drifted away emotionally long before it ended, and what she wishes someone had told her when she was younger. We get into attachment styles, masculine and feminine polarity, why accountability is so rare, and why “love” alone doesn’t save a relationship.We also tackle the uncomfortable topics most people avoid:Why attraction fadesWhy fitness and self-respect matter more than people admit Why men and women cheat for very different reasonsWhy second marriages fail so oftenAnd why many couples quietly become roommates instead of loversThis is the kind of conversation every couple should hear — especially before things break beyond repair.If you’re married, divorced, dating, or starting over as a man, this one will hit home.Join the HFM Brotherhood!
