Sharing My Truth

Why are so many marriages ending in divorce, and what’s really happening behind closed doors?

In this episode, Mel and Suzie sit down with divorce lawyer Tyler Bailey to talk about the reality of modern marriage, divorce, money, infidelity, children, and what he sees every day when relationships fall apart.

Are people giving up on marriage too quickly? Who is usually the one asking for the divorce, and why? Are men right to worry that they could lose half of everything they’ve worked for? And are women sometimes putting themselves in a vulnerable financial position by stepping away from their careers to raise children?

We also get into some of the most controversial issues around marriage and divorce. Should everyone get a prenup? Can a prenup protect women as much as men? What happens when a man discovers the child he has been raising isn’t biologically his? And when a marriage ends, is splitting everything 50/50 actually fair?

Tyler gives us a divorce lawyer’s perspective on what really destroys marriages, the mistakes couples make before they ever walk into his office, and what men and women should understand before saying “I do.”

Whether you’re married, divorced, dating, or wondering whether marriage is even worth it anymore, this conversation might change the way you look at relationships.

She wants a masculine man. She wants him to provide, take the lead, make her feel secure, and bring that strong masculine energy into the relationship. But when it comes to the home, she expects everything to be 50/50.

So can you really have both?

In this episode, we get into one of the biggest contradictions in modern dating and relationships. Women are increasingly financially independent and want equality at home, but many still say they’re attracted to traditional masculine qualities, including a man who provides and takes the lead.

If a man is expected to carry more of the financial responsibility, is it fair to expect him to do exactly half of the cooking, cleaning, and household responsibilities too? And if both partners want a completely 50/50 relationship, does that change the masculine and feminine dynamic they say they want?

We also look at what “50/50” actually means. Does everything have to be divided equally, or is a healthy relationship about both people contributing in different ways?

Mel and Suzie debate whether modern relationships are asking men and women to play traditional and modern roles at the same time and whether that’s actually sustainable.

She’s single, successful, independent, and fully capable of taking care of herself. But when it comes to dating, she says she wants a strong, masculine man who can take the lead.

There’s just one problem. When a man actually does lead, she doesn’t always like it. Suddenly, his confidence feels controlling, his decisiveness feels bossy, and she finds herself pushing back.

So what does wanting a “masculine man” actually mean?

In this episode of Sharing My Truth, Mel and Suzie unpack a listener’s dilemma that a lot of successful, independent women may relate to. Can you want a man who leads while still maintaining your independence? Where’s the line between masculine leadership and controlling behaviour? And if you constantly challenge the type of man you say you want, could you actually be getting in your own way?

We get into masculine and feminine dynamics, control, independence, modern dating, and why what we think we want in a partner doesn’t always match what we’re comfortable with when we actually get it.

Is he too controlling, or is she struggling to let someone else take the lead?

Are women looking for the right things when choosing a man, or are modern dating expectations getting in the way of finding a genuinely good partner?

In this episode of Sharing My Truth, Mel and Suzie continue their conversation with Coral Osborne, Certified Intimacy & Identity Coach for men, about what women prioritize in dating and why some of those expectations may be working against them.

We talk about attraction, status, success, masculinity and emotional connection, and whether women are overlooking the qualities that actually make a relationship work. Coral also shares what she has learned from working closely with men, including what men really want from women and what they wish women understood about them.

Are women expecting men to tick too many boxes? Are they overlooking good men? And when it comes to finding a lasting relationship, are we all focusing on the wrong things?

Are men more misunderstood than ever, and does anyone actually care about what they’re going through?

In this episode of Sharing My Truth, Mel and Suzie sit down with Coral Osborne, who works closely with men around relationships, intimacy, confidence, and connection, to talk about what she’s seeing behind closed doors.

Men are constantly told they need to communicate more, be more emotionally available, and understand women better. But who is trying to understand them?

We get into why so many men feel unheard in modern relationships, the pressures and expectations placed on men, what women may be getting wrong about what men actually need, and why the conversation around relationships can sometimes feel very one-sided.

Coral also shares what she has learned from working directly with men, including the things they struggle to say out loud and what they really want from their relationships with women.

Is modern dating failing men? Are women really listening to what men are saying? And have we become so focused on what women need from relationships that we’ve stopped asking what men need too?

🔥 This is a conversation that might challenge what you think you know about men.

How much of who you are is really you, and how much is the person you think you're supposed to be?

In this episode, we sit down with Dave Rossi, author, speaker, and founder of Omega, to talk about the pressure men feel to perform, achieve, appear strong, and live up to an image of what a man should be.

Dave spent much of his life succeeding at a game he says he never chose to play. From the outside, he was achieving, but underneath it, he felt increasingly disconnected from who he really was. That experience ultimately led him to question the expectations he'd built his life around and find a different way of living.

We talk about modern masculinity, identity, success, relationships, and authenticity and what happens when men spend so much time trying to meet other people's expectations that they lose sight of themselves.

What does it actually mean to "be yourself"? Can you be successful without constantly performing? And how do you figure out who you really are when you've spent years becoming who you thought you were supposed to be?

It's a thought-provoking conversation about masculinity, the masks we wear, and what can happen when you finally take them off.

A 55-year-old married man writes in with a dilemma: he loves his wife, doesn’t want to hurt her, and says they have a good life together. But the sex and intimacy have disappeared, and he’s been getting that part of his life elsewhere.

Now he doesn’t know what to do. He doesn’t want to hurt his wife, but he knows something has to change. Does he stay because after all these years he owes it to her and the life they’ve built together? Does he admit he’s been cheating, knowing the truth could devastate her? Or does he leave, even though he still loves her?

He doesn’t want another relationship or to replace his wife. But he also doesn’t want to accept a life without sex, affection, or feeling desired.

Is cheating ever understandable when intimacy has disappeared from a marriage? Is keeping the secret actually protecting his wife or protecting himself? And can you genuinely love someone while repeatedly cheating on them?

In this episode, Mel and Suzie get into love, sex, loyalty, infidelity, and what we really owe someone after decades together.

Stay, confess, or leave. What would you tell him to do?

Kit primarily coaches women, and part of his approach is helping them look at dating more realistically. Are your expectations matching the kind of relationship you want? Are you confusing sexual attraction with relationship interest? And are men and women actually looking for the same things in each other?

We talk about why women can sometimes use sex to gain access to men who are happy to date or sleep with them but would not necessarily choose them for a committed relationship. Kit explains why this can create a false sense of your dating options, particularly when sexual interest is mistaken for genuine relationship potential.

We also explore what men look for when choosing a partner, what women look for in men, unrealistic dating expectations, attraction versus compatibility, and why simply waiting for the perfect person to turn up may not be working.

It’s a frank conversation about the men women want versus the women men want, and what both sides might need to understand if they actually want a successful relationship.

Modern dating has changed, but are men and women still waiting for each other to make the first move?

In Part 1 of our conversation with dating coach Kit  @stayslickwithkit, we explore what’s happening between men and women today, why dating has become so difficult, and what women can do differently if they want to attract the kind of man they’re actually looking for.

Kit primarily coaches women, helping them understand men, attraction, and how to create the opportunity for the right relationship to develop. One of his core ideas is women need to make the first "feminine move". As Kit puts it, masculinity pursues; femininity invites.

If you want a man to approach you, pursue you, or ask you out, you have to give him something to respond to. A look, a smile, a conversation, a signal of interest. Nobody is coming if you do nothing.

We talk about the growing disconnect between men and women, Gen Z and dating, masculine and feminine dynamics, why some men are increasingly hesitant to approach women, what attraction looks like today, and how women can make the “first feminine move” while still allowing a man to pursue.

Is modern dating really broken, or have men and women simply forgotten how to signal that they want each other?
