    Ep 23: When Marriage Starts Feeling Like Roommates + Navigating Mother-in-Law Dynamics | Dr. Tracy Dalgleish

    At some point in many long-term relationships, couples quietly slip into something that feels less like a marriage… and more like living with a roommate. In this episode of Midlife Mix, I sit down with psychologist and author Dr. Tracy Dalgleish (You, Your Husband & His Mother) to talk about the relationship dynamics that can slowly chip away at connection — often without couples even realizing it. We unpack the complicated relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, how those tensions can spill into a marriage, and why many couples in midlife find themselves wondering: When did we start feeling more like roommates than partners? We also talk about whether it’s actually possible to reconnect after years together — and what couples can do to bring back intimacy, connection, and the spark that once defined their relationship. If you’ve ever looked at your partner and thought, “How did we get here?” — this conversation will resonate. Follow Midlife Mix for honest conversations about relationships, reinvention, and navigating the complicated (and sometimes hilarious) realities of midlife. 🎙️

    Ep 22: He Survived a Suicide Attempt — Now He’s Fighting for Men’s Mental Health

    After years of homelessness, addiction and abuse, Jason McLean found himself on the floor of his apartment with a gun in his hand, ready to end his life. He survived. Today, he is on a mission to confront one of the most urgent and under-discussed crises: men’s mental health. Men are significantly less likely to seek therapy. They are more likely to die by suicide. And many are taught to suppress emotion instead of process it. Jason now: • Speaks directly to men about vulnerability and strength • Works with young boys to normalize emotional expression • Visits schools to dismantle stigma early • Writes children’s books that teach resilience This conversation is about breaking silence. Because silence is costing lives. If you’re a man struggling — or love one who is — this episode matters.
