Breaking Free: Challenging the 50-Year Marriage Myth


Listen Later

Episode 4: Okay babes, we need to talk about something BIG. This episode is for every woman who’s ever been told that a “successful” marriage means staying together for 50 years, no matter how miserable you are. 🧨💔

Today, I’m cracking open the marriage myth so many of us were raised with—especially those of us from religious or traditional backgrounds. I get raw about my own journey from Mormon wife to divorced woman reclaiming her voice… and why I believe the goal of a “forever” marriage needs a major update. 🧬🔥

Inside this episode, we dig into:
 💥 How the internet, therapy, and access to new ideas have radically changed how fast we evolve as humans
 💥 Why “til death do us part” can keep us stuck in coasting, disconnected marriages
 💥 What it means to outgrow your marriage—and why that’s not failure, it’s truth

You’ll also hear:
 🌱 Why marriages should be containers for growth and healing, not just endurance
🚨 The real dangers of prioritizing the institution of marriage over your individual well-being
💡 How to ask the deeper questions: “What do I want now? And am I still growing here?”

Plus, I’m calling out outdated beliefs about sex, intimacy, and gender roles 👀 and showing you how doing your inner work before divorce changes EVERYTHING about what comes next. 💃📖

If you've ever thought, “I can’t imagine doing this for 10 more years... let alone 50,” then love—you need this episode. This is your permission slip to reimagine what partnership can look like. 💫
