Redefining Midlife with Jo Clark

188. When Leaving Is the Brave Choice in Midlife


Listen Later

What do you do when you've quietly started asking yourself not how to fix your relationship, but whether you should leave it? In this honest and compassionate conversation, Jo speaks with psychologist and life coach Lana Hall about the courage it takes to put yourself first in one of the biggest decisions of your life.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why knowing what you want matters more than knowing what you don't

  • The subtle red flags women minimise — and what to do when you tell yourself "it's not that bad"

  • Why staying for the kids isn't always the loving choice you think it is

  • The inner patterns from childhood that quietly shape your relationship choices

  • What healthy dating in midlife can look like when you're ready to begin again

If you've been sitting with a question you haven't quite found the words for yet, this episode is a gentle, grounded place to start.
