Redefining Midlife with Jo Clark

In this deeply reflective episode, I share the story of my wonderful 30-year marriage. The highs, the hard seasons, and what's kept our love growing stronger. If you've ever wondered whether long-term love can deepen rather than fade, this honest reflection will give you hope and perspective.
In this episode, we explore:
Why love in midlife feels different (and why that's beautiful)

How friendship becomes the foundation that carries you through hard times

Choosing to grow together rather than apart when life gets heavy

The power of shared experiences and making joy a priority

Why strong relationships require intention, not perfection

This conversation is a helpful starting point if you're navigating your own relationship shifts in this season of midlife, too.

In this episode, Jo sits down with psychotherapist Niki Grennell to explore what happens when the connection in a long-term relationship starts to fade beneath the weight of responsibility and everyday life.

In this episode, we explore:
The difference between sex and intimacy—and why intimacy often disappears first

Why personal growth can either strengthen or create friction in midlife relationships

The three layers of connection: with yourself, your partner as they are now, and your shared future

How to know whether to stay and work on things—or when it's time to leave

Simple, compassionate ways to begin shifting a relationship from one side

If this topic has been quietly weighing on you, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate place to start thinking it through.
