Ep227: Relationship Therapist On How To Survive The Empty Nest
Mar 100:50:55Tap to summarizeNatalie and I are getting into the nitty-gritty of why so many couples hit a wall once the kids finally pack their bags... It’s a weird, quiet transition where the three or four-bedroom house suddenly feels way too big and you realise you haven’t actually had a real conversation with the person across the table in years. Natalie King from The READ Clinic joins me in the van to talk about Empty Nester Syndrome and why it often crashes right into the chaos of perimenopause. We talk about the Gottman Method (which sounds fancy but actually started with a couple of maths nerds looking for dates) and the Magic Six Hours that can keep a relationship from becoming just a series of logistically managed chores. Whether you’re right on the cusp of an empty house or you’re a decade away, Natalie explains how to ensure you’re still laughing together in 30 years. Plus, we get into the one specific way to bring up a problem that guarantees you won't end up in a screaming match.If you enjoy the episode, please leave a comment - and I'd love it if you'd hit the FOLLOW button!Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.
