Women, Men & the "Gray Divorce": How to Reconnect When Everything Is Changing with Terry Real

from The Resetter Podcast with Dr. Mindy · host Dr. Mindy Pelz

Women in midlife are questioning their marriages at record rates often feeling more independent, less willing to people-please, and deeply hungry for real emotional connection. But what is actually happening inside women (and men) during this season of life? In this timely and powerful episode, I sit down with renowned therapist and bestselling author Terry Real to unpack what's really driving the "gray divorce" trend — and why so many long-term relationships feel strained during perimenopause and postmenopause. And if you've ever wondered whether midlife relationship struggles mean your marriage is broken or simply ready to evolve, this episode offers the nuance, compassion, and tools that short-form advice can't.
