Marriage & Menopause

About Marriage & Menopause

Marriage and Menopause is the podcast where love, relationships, intimacy, and midlife collide. Hosted by Dr. LaKeischa and her husband, Wendell, this candid husband-and-wife conversation explores what really happens to a marriage when hormones shift, bodies change, roles evolve, and the people you married are still becoming new versions of themselves. From sex and intimacy to communication, emotional connection, power dynamics, privacy, money, aging, and the everyday moments nobody warns you about, Marriage and Menopause goes behind the curtain on the conversations couples are often having privately—or avoiding altogether. With humor, vulnerability, a little disagreement, and both the medical and male perspective at the table, Dr. LaKeischa and Wendell create space for couples to better understand themselves, understand each other, and keep choosing one another through the changes of midlife. Because menopause doesn’t just happen to a woman. It happens inside a relationship.

   Episode 6: Who Are We Becoming in This Marriage?

   You don’t marry one version of a person and get to keep that version forever. Over the years, we change. Our bodies change. Our priorities change. Our careers change. Our children grow up. Menopause, andropause, aging, life experiences, and simply growing into ourselves can all reshape who we are and what we need. So what happens when the person you married starts becoming someone new? In this episode of Marriage and Menopause, we’re talking about what it means to make room for growth insi...

   Episode 5: Marriage, Love, and the Contract We Never Wrote

   What exactly are we agreeing to when we say, “I do”? A rewatch of Coming to America sparked a deeper conversation for us about love marriages, arranged marriages, commitment, and the unspoken contracts couples bring into marriage. Because marriage may begin with love, but it is also a legal, financial, emotional, and practical partnership. And like any partnership, it has to evolve when the people inside of it evolve. In this episode of Marriage & Menopause, Dr. LaKeischa and Wendell t...

   Marriage & Menopause Episode 4: Know Your Body

   How well do you really know your body? In this episode of Marriage & Menopause, we’re talking about why body awareness should start long before perimenopause, menopause, or andropause ever enter the conversation. From basic hygiene and puberty to hormones, sleep, libido, mood, energy, sexual health, and the changes that come with midlife, too many of us reach new stages of life without ever being taught what to expect. We talk about why it matters to know your normal, recognize when som...

   Bonus Episode: Do We Actually Know How to Support Each Other?

   Sometimes the best marriage conversations happen when you aren’t sitting down to have a “marriage conversation” at all. In this bonus episode of Marriage & Menopause, we’re coming to you from the airport with a question we’ve been thinking about in our own relationship: Do we actually know how to support each other in this season of our marriage? Because after years together, it’s easy to assume you know what your spouse needs. But people change. Responsibilities change. Careers change...

   Marriage & Menopause Episode 3 - The Six Second Kiss

   What happened to kissing just because? In this episode of Marriage and Menopause, we talk about the six-second kiss and why something so simple can become a meaningful way to reconnect in marriage. As life gets fuller with work, children, responsibilities, stress, exhaustion, and changing hormones, affection can slowly become automatic. A quick kiss goodbye. A peck before bed. Or sometimes, no real physical connection at all. We explore the difference between automatic connection and inten...

   Marriage & Menopause Episode 2 - I just don't feel like myself anymore

   It is one of the most common things women say during perimenopause and menopause, but those changes do not happen in a vacuum. When she doesn’t recognize herself, her partner may not recognize what is happening either. In this episode of Marriage and Menopause, Dr. LaKeischa and Wendell talk about what happens inside a marriage when hormones begin changing the way a woman feels physically, emotionally, mentally, and sexually. We unpack the exhaustion, mood changes, body changes,...
