Marriage and Menopause Podcast Episode 8: Why We Only Felt Powerful On Vacation

Marriage and Menopause Podcast Episode 9: Why We Only Felt Powerful On Vacation

We used to go on cruises to reconnect. Every time we got on a ship, she was decisive. Engaged. Present. She initiated conversations, plans, everything. And every time we got home, I couldn't figure out where that woman went.

It wasn't a discipline problem. It wasn't a motivation problem. It wasn't a her problem. It was biology.

In this episode, Judy and David are filming live on the Royal Caribbean Star of the Seas for David's 58th birthday. Vacations were where they finally figured out what was actually happening. Vacations lowered cortisol. Sleep improved. The nervous system finally regulated. And temporarily, desire, drive, and executive function came back online.

Not because of the ocean. Because of what the ocean removed.

This episode is for every couple who only feels like a team when the stress disappears. Who wonders why the best version of their marriage requires a passport.

The cruise didn't fix them. Getting the biology right did. And this episode explains how. If you only thrive on vacation, the issue may not be your relationship. It may be your physiology.

Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to walk it alone.
