Perimenopause & Divorce: why everyone should care about this.

It can seem like most of our lives as women, we are being controlled by a mysterious power behind the scenes: our periods!

And we're really not wrong for feeling that way. On this episode of the Divorce Curious podcast, I'm joined by the founder of The Agenda Period, Alyx Coble-Frakes, and she is dropping some seriously fascinating knowledge on us about how our cycles impact every part of our lives, including and especially our relationships.

Did you know that 70% of all divorces are filed by women who are in perimenopause? That's just one of the suprising pieces of data that Alyx shares in this episode as we discuss the impact of perimenopause on relationships and so much more!

Give it a listen, leave me a comment, and share this episode with the women and men in your life.

Unmet needs in a relationship create resentment.

Few times make that as apparent as the holidays as social media illustrates with tens of thousands of women sharing their stories of how they are so often forgotten at Christmas and find themselves met with an empty stocking on Christmas morning. This, after having poured their heart, soul, money and sometimes sanity, into making the holidays magical for their partner and families.

The empty stocking has come to symbolize a deeper issue that many women are having, the struggle between feeling like they shouldn't have to remind their partners or families to think of them versus the hurt and anger that comes from being continually disappointed.

It doesn't have to be this way. There's another option: communicating your needs and expectations clearly and giving your partner the opportunity to succeed.

In this episode, Lisa shares a framework to help get more of the thoughtfulness and outcomes that you want, and less of the hurt and frustration that you don't want.
