The Changes That Deepened Our Marriage This Year

The Midlife Mentors ·

2025/11/23

Send us a text In this week’s episode of The Midlife Mentors podcast, we’re opening up about the things that have shifted in our marriage over the past year. It hasn’t all been smooth sailing - far from it. There were seasons that stretched us, humbled us and asked more of us than we expected. But through honest reflection, deeper faith, and a bit of guidance from outside, we’ve found our way into a stronger, more grounded partnership. A love with more tenderness, more truth… and far more res...

2025/10/28

Send us a text Most people think they’re tired because they’re doing too much…But the truth is - it’s not always that they’re tired from doing. They’re tired from leaking energy in a hundred tiny ways they can’t see. It’s not laziness, it’s not lack of motivation - it’s death by a thousand energy leaks. You’re on the hamster wheel, working harder, pushing through… But you’re not topping up your tank - physically, mentally, or emotionally. And that’s what we’re diving into today - how to run y...

When Motivation Disappears

The Midlife Mentors ·

2025/10/21

Send us a text In this episode I, James, am flying solo and discussing all things 'motivation' and most importantly, sharing what to do when it disappears. Newsflash, this happens to all of us! The gym kit’s staring at you, the emails are piling up, and even the things you used to love feel like a chore. It’s not that you’ve become lazy - it’s that your motivation’s done a disappearing act. And if you’re in midlife, there’s probably a reason for that. So iIn today’s episode, I’m going to bre...

Send us a text This week, it’s just me Claire, as I fly solo - having a very real conversation about something that’s been on my heart and mind. Unless you live under a rock, you may have noticed that the the world feels as though it’s spinning faster and getting louder by the day. One minute it’s a new disaster, the next it’s more division, more fear, more noise, more hate. There’s this collective heaviness many of us are carrying - a mix of sadness, anxiety, and overwhelm - all while ...

The 'People Pleasing' Dilemma: Is It Costing You More...

The Midlife Mentors ·

2025/09/20

Send us a text How many times have you said yes when every part of you wanted to say no? How many years have been spent keeping the peace, avoiding conflict, or chasing approval - at the cost of your own wellbeing? For so many of us, people pleasing has been a way of life. It starts young, becomes automatic, and by midlife we can find ourselves running on empty, resentful, or wondering who we even are anymore. In today’s conversation, we’re diving into why people pleasing shows up so st...

The Benefits Of Being Bored

The Midlife Mentors ·

2025/08/30

Today we’re talking about the positive power of boredom! We’ve just got back from three nights completely off-grid, staying in a little shepherd’s hut - no WiFi, no screens, just the two of us, a lake to swim in, good books, naps in the afternoon, and cooking over an open fire. At first, we’ll admit, it felt strange not having the usual distractions - no endless scrolling, no notifications buzzing, no constant to-do list. But something interesting happened once we settled into the still...

This episode is a deeply personal one. We’re lifting the lid on a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime – what happens when both partners go through midlife hormonal changes at the same time.
