In this episode, Bill and Marty talk with divorce, couples, and life coach Nick Meima about purpose, connection, marriage, divorce, stepparenting, and the inner beliefs that shape our lives. Nick shares how his path moved from aging and cohousing into relationship work, and why real growth starts with facing “not enough” beliefs, getting support, and doing the inner work needed to live with more love, maturity, and purpose.

About Nick Meima:

Nick Meima is a divorce coach, couples coach, and life coach whose work centers on intimacy, disconnection, and what it takes to build healthier relationships. His path began early through a deep interest in aging and care for older adults, which led him to earn graduate degrees in marriage, family, and child counseling and in gerontology. He later served as the CEO of a large retirement community, helped create multiple intergenerational cohousing communities, and spent years bringing people together across age groups and life stages. Today, Nick works with individuals, couples, business owners, and leaders, helping them move through divorce, relationship strain, and major life transitions with more clarity, maturity, and care.
