A Personal Message From Me to You
I didn’t write this book just as a coach.
I wrote it as a partner who got it wrong—more times than I’d like to admit.
There was a season when my wife needed me, and I didn’t fully see her.
She was overwhelmed, hurting, exhausted in ways she couldn’t explain. And I… I thought I was helping. I offered advice. I stayed calm. I told her to focus on the positive. But what she really needed wasn’t a solution.
She needed me. My presence. My softness. My willingness to sit with the storm instead of trying to sweep it away.
I wish I’d known then what I know now.
I wish someone had told me how much menopause can affect not just the body, but the heart of a relationship.
How much pressure we put on ourselves to "stay strong" while quietly falling apart.
How easy it is to become distant when you’re just trying to keep things together.
This book is everything I wish I had during that time.
Not just the insights, but the language—the way to talk to each other when everything feels fragile. The permission to feel lost, confused, even frustrated, and still come back to love.
We found our way through it—together.
Not perfectly, but honestly.
Not quickly, but steadily.
And we’re better for it.
So if you’re in that season right now…
If you feel like you’re missing each other more than connecting—please know: it’s not too late. You can find each other again.
It just takes intention, tenderness, and a willingness to see the relationship not as broken, but becoming.
I’m grateful you picked up this book.
And I hope you walk away not just with tools, but with hope.
Because love, real love, doesn’t mean never getting lost.
It means being brave enough to come back—again and again.
With compassion and lived understanding,
