from This Too Is Healing · host Nettee

Relationships don't stay the same because we don't stay the same.In Episode 3 of This Too Is Healing, I'm joined by Educational Psychologist Dr Adam McCartney and Menopause Coach Emma Archard to talk about relationships, parenthood, menopause, changing identities and the importance of staying connected through different stages of life.We explore why couples can drift apart when life becomes busy, why simply "getting through it" isn't always enough, and the importance of creating shared experiences and rediscovering each other as we change.We also talk about vulnerability, fear of rejection, community, loneliness and how to start those difficult conversations when you don't quite know what to say.An honest conversation about relationships, connection and finding our way back to one another.Next week: The everyday habits that support our minds and bodies.Podcast DisclaimerThe views, opinions and experiences shared in this podcast are those of the individual speakers and are provided for general information, education and discussion purposes only.
