Could your marriage become stronger if you considered divorce as a viable option?
Today, I'm chatting with relationship coach Sharon Pope, as we uncover the paradoxical notion that acknowledging the possibility of divorce can actually reinforce a marriage.
We delve into the power of choice and how it can lead to a more intentional and fulfilling partnership. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of setting healthy boundaries and reveal why trying to control our partner's commitment often backfires, leaving a trail of unhappiness and discontent.
As societal roles evolve, so do the dynamics within a marriage. Sharon and I discuss the new terrain of gender expectations and responsibilities, dissecting how modern marriages are adapting—or struggling—to keep pace. We cast light on the silent signals that a relationship may be veering off course and stress the urgency of addressing issues promptly. Whether it's cultivating a space for open dialogue or recognizing when it's time to seek professional help, we guide you through the critical choices that can either rejuvenate your relationship or lead you to part ways with grace and certainty.
This episode addresses the complexities of maintaining intimacy amidst the demands of parenthood. We share strategies for nurturing your connection and why it's essential to remain curious about your evolving spouse. In addition, we explore how relationship coaching can provide the toolkit needed for couples to flourish through adversity.
So, whether you're looking to reignite the spark in your marriage or contemplating the crossroads of "stay or go," this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for embracing the continuous journey of love and partnership.

Ever wondered about the secrets your body holds during perimenopause? How this stage of life affects not just your physical health, but also your relationships? Join us as we unravel these mysteries with Bria Gadd - a personal trainer, holistic health coach and integrative nutritionist with a special expertise in female hormones. Bria guides us through the facts and myths surrounding perimenopause and menopause, highlighting the critical transitions occurring during this period in a woman's life. She emphasizes the importance of understanding this stage, as it affects 40 million women worldwide, half of whom don't understand the distinctions between perimenopause and menopause.
We break down myths like menopause being caused by estrogen deficiency while discussing the role of progesterone. We also focus on the body's need for more energy during certain periods, how this affects metabolism, and how low-impact movement can contribute to our overall wellbeing during this time. We then shift our attention to how cortisol and inflammation factor into our physical health, the significance of age and lifestyle habits, and how we can better handle and understand these changes.
Finally, we discuss the four pillars of health: sleep & rest, nutrition & fuel, movement & exercise, and pleasure. These pillars not only form the foundation of our health but also strengthen our relationships. Bria shares valuable insights into why some women struggle more than others during perimenopause and how we can ensure we are not one of them.
Wrapping up the episode, Bria leaves us with resources and advice for women and partners to smoothly navigate this challenging, yet rewarding time in life.

Today’s interview is with ABC’s chief meteorologist and Good Morning America personality, Ginger Zee. Ginger lives in New York City with her husband Ben, and her two boys, Adrian and Miles. She recently wrote a book called Natural Disasters – I Cover Them and I Am One, in which she opens up about her life and her struggle with depression. She is honest and real and gives hope to others who have or are battling similar mental health problems. She also wrote a children’s book called Chasing Helicity, which was just released last week. She is smart, creative, happy, honest and so much fun to interview.

In our interview, Ginger opens up about love of the weather, her marriage, her experience with depression and how a woman really can have it all. She also shares with us how she unwinds after a long, stressful day and how she gets so much done everyday. I especially loved one of her final thoughts about how dark clouds will eventually and always clear. They cannot stick around forever, that is just not how the atmosphere works. I love the hope she brings to anyone who is struggling with anything in their life. Just keep going!

You can find her books on Amazon.com and through any other book retailer. You can follow her on Instagram @ginger_zee or watch her weekday mornings on ABC’s Good Morning America.

A giant “thank you” to Ginger for taking the time to chat with me and even re-record the interview after some technical difficulties. I will always be your number one fan! I just know everyone will love her as much as I do after they listen to her candid interview.
