"Sometimes at midlife, we stop doing the things we think we should be doing, and start focusing on what we truly want to do. That's when we find that inner peace." - James Davis

Are you navigating the complex waters of midlife relationships? In this enlightening episode, I sit down with James and Claire Davis, founders of Midlife Mentors, to explore the transformative journey of relationships after 40.
