Is your marriage facing unexpected challenges in your 40s? You're not alone— 40% of divorces happen after age 40 – but even if not headed for the big D, women in their forties are bound to experience some rough patches in their marriages during this decade.

From trying to find “pockets of peace” in jam-packed days to unlearning the tendency to “keep score” against your partner, marriage counsellor THERESA PONG of The Relationship Room helps us through some of the most common – and yet unspoken – issues that threaten marriages in midlife.

In this episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with a registered counsellor with over a decade of experience helping couples reignite their marriages and reframe their shared narratives toward better futures. We get real about:

✅ How the way we were raised affects how we love – and fight

✅ Why it’s important to connect on our vulnerabilities, not hide them

✅ Whether having a “work wife” is a sign of a deeper relationship problem

✅ Ways to break through decades of pain and gain emotional closure

If you’ve never heard of emotionally focused couples therapy, this episode might just be the solution you need to move forward in a happier, healthier, more balanced relationship with your partner.

Did you already blow it on your Dry January attempt? Do you consider yourself sober curious – but not sure if the jump to full teetotaling is for you? Are you convinced you “don’t drink that much” – but wonder whether what you DO drink is holding you back?

Join three top women’s self-improvement podcast hosts – Jasmin Dhillon, Amanda Lim, and our guest MICHELLE O’BRIEN – in conversation about the choice to quit drinking – once and for all.

Michelle, host of The Upward Spiral Podcast shares her personal journey and practical tips for sober living, including:

From hashing out the reasons women tend to drink (yes, mamas – stressful parenting is one we talk about at length) to discussing the best zero-proof alternatives on the market, you’ll come away from this episode empowered to examine your own relationship to alcohol and perhaps, why you might want to consider kicking it to the curb yourself.

If you put on your clothes from twenty years ago – would they fit? How old do you feel, right now? And if you knew exactly how to extend the length and quality of your life – would you do it?

World-renowned longevity expert and co-founder of @chi_longevity PROFESSOR ANDREA MAIER asks these tough questions – and offers science-backed answers – in this thought-provoking season 4 opener of The Forties Formula podcast.

PROFESSOR ANDREA lends her global expertise in ageing and the prevention of age-related diseases to co-hosts Jasmin Dhillon & Amanda Lim, uncovering:

• What the “diet of longevity” actually looks like

• Whether you really need to spend hours in the gym to get life-extending results

• Where to invest your time and effort to prolong your health-related quality of life

• How to “measure what matters” to extend your lifespan and health-span

The differences in how we age are stark at ages sixty or seventy – but the factors that affect that gap actually start to affect us in our twenties. If you want the hard evidence, insider secrets, and pro opinions on what moves the needle on a longer, healthier life – listen now.
