Join Dr. Mindy & Terry Real for Don't Leave It - Reinvent It: https://www.drmindypelz.com/reinvent
Have you reached a point in your marriage where you feel like you've changed, but your relationship hasn't?
In this episode of Live Like a Girl, I'm joined by renowned couples therapist Terry Real to explore why so many women begin questioning their relationships during midlife and menopause, and what it takes to reconnect when you've grown apart.
We talk about resentment, emotional intimacy, the childhood patterns that shape how we handle conflict, and how to communicate your needs without pushing your partner further away. Terry also shares his approach to relational empowerment and why reinventing your relationship may be another option worth exploring.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Why marriage can feel different after menopause
How resentment builds when your needs go unspoken
The difference between individual and relational empowerment
How childhood experiences influence relationship conflicts
Practical ways to communicate, reconnect, and repair
