    Empty Nest, New Identity: Rediscover Yourself & Find Love in Midlife with Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder

    For years, you've been someone's mother, partner, wife, or caregiver. You've spent so much time showing up for everyone else that you may have forgotten what makes YOU feel alive. And now, in midlife, everything is shifting. Who are you when the roles that once defined you begin to change? And how do you rediscover love, intimacy, and desire when you barely recognize yourself? In this episode of *Plenty of Husbands*, host Robin Fisher Roffer sits down with clinical psychologist and intimacy expert Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder for an honest conversation about identity, the empty nest, relationships, and finding your spark again after 50. IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE: • Why becoming an empty nester can leave you questioning who you are • How to rediscover your identity after years of putting everyone else first • Why finding yourself matters before finding a romantic partner • How married couples can reconnect by getting curious about each other again • Why sex and intimacy don't have to disappear after 50 • How to feel sexy and confident again after divorce, widowhood, illness, or years without intimacy • Why friendship, trust, and emotional safety matter in romantic relationships • How to explore new experiences without judging yourself for wanting something different Dr. Heidi reminds us that intimacy isn't just about sex, and finding love isn't necessarily about finding someone new. Sometimes it's about getting to know yourself again—and discovering what's possible in this next chapter. LET'S TALK: If your children have grown up or your relationship has changed, what's been the hardest part of rediscovering yourself? And if you're over 50, do you believe your best years of love and intimacy are still ahead of you? Share your thoughts in the comments. We'd love to hear from you.

    How to Know If a Relationship Is Truly Right for You

    Can you recognize the difference between genuine connection and familiar dysfunction?   In this episode of Plenty of Husbands, Robin Fisher Roffer speaks with behavioral specialist, relationship expert, dating coach, and grief counselor Jace Stapley about breaking self-sabotaging dating patterns and creating healthier relationships in midlife.   Jace explains why we often repeat familiar relationship dynamics—even painful ones—and how slowing down can reveal whether someone’s actions truly match their words. They also discuss how to date with intention, avoid rushing into commitment, maintain your identity in a relationship, and grieve the end of a relationship so you can genuinely move forward.   Key Takeaways · Self-sabotage is often a form of emotional protection rooted in fear of the unknown. · Familiar does not always mean healthy—or compatible. · Give new relationships the test of time before making major commitments. · Create your non-negotiables and deal breakers before you begin dating. · Compare perception with facts, and make sure someone’s actions match their words. · Healthy relationships require psychological safety, equal communication, and active listening. · Maintain your independence by staying connected to your values, boundaries, interests, and voice. · Grieving a relationship is an important part of healing and moving forward.   Whether you’re dating after divorce, rebuilding your confidence, or hoping to find lasting love, this conversation offers practical guidance for navigating your next chapter with clarity and courage.   #MidlifeDating #DatingAfterDivorce #FindingLoveAgain #HealthyRelationships #RelationshipAdvice #DatingTips #SelfSabotage #RedFlags #GreenFlags #DealBreakers #NonNegotiables #EmotionalSafety #Boundaries #WomenOver40 #WomenOver50 #MidlifeLove
