    #311: What Every Man Needs to Know About Women's Menopause for a Relationship to Survive

    Menopause isn't just a women's issue. It's creates a relationship struggle for both partners. And for many couples, it's the moment things fall apart. In this episode of Practicing Love, I talk with men's guide Mark J. Platten about why relationships during menopause and midlife feel so challenging, and what men are rarely taught about how to show up. Most men enter relationships with what Mark calls "Prince tools." They try to fix, perform, or avoid conflict. But menopause often brings emotional intensity, physical changes, and deeper truths to the surface. The old tools stop working. When this isn't seen as a problem to solve, it's an invitation to grow. In this episode explore: • Why so many couples struggle or separate during menopause and andropause • The difference between "Prince" and "King" energy • How to stop shutting down or taking things personally • The biggest mistakes men make during this stage • How midlife becomes a rite of passage into emotional maturity • What real intimacy is, beyond just sex • How vulnerability becomes strength, not weakness If you love a woman in midlife — or you're moving through this season yourself — this conversation will help you show up with steadiness, heart, and depth. Because menopause doesn't have to be the end of intimacy. It can be the beginning of the most honest and connected love of your life.   In this episode of Practicing Love, I talk with men's guide Mark J. Platten about why relationships during menopause and midlife feel so challenging, and what men are rarely taught about how to show up.

    #309: How Men Really Heal After 40: The Path to Health and Purpose

    Former pharmacist Josh Rimany joins Shana to explore what real healing looks like for men in midlife — beyond symptom management or quick fixes. Together they unpack how the mind-body-soul connection restores vitality, why the healthcare system often misses the mark, and how men can find wholeness, purpose, and deeper love after 40. A grounded and inspiring look at the "second mountain of life," where success expands from professional to personal, and starts to include impact and fulfillment rather than just dollars and positions.

    #308: How Men Can Stop Feeling Lonely and Build Real Friendships

    Loneliness among men has reached crisis levels, but there are ways to change this. If you've been feeling alone, are tired of surface-level conversations, or unsure how to find men who can be real, honest friends, this conversation will give you tangible ways to connect — one walk, one conversation, or one man at a time. In this episode I talk with Jonathan Jacobs, founder of the L.A. chapter of Walking Talking Men, about how intentional time and connection can be simple, and create a foundation of real friendship. We explore why so many men struggle to build close friendships, how vulnerability becomes strength, and why deeper relationships are the key to men's emotional and physical health (as proven by the famous Harvard study on happiness).

    Today's conversation with men's coach Solay Rad is a new look at how power, beyond ego, is much more impactful and fulfilling. We explore how to channel energy into purpose so you can have more of the life you want, and why partnership thrives when it is rooted in meaning and possibility. Solay also shares a new take on prayer that is not focused on religion, and that acts as a technology of intention and creation.
