"What I really was grieving was the loss of what I'd hoped my marriage would have been." – Pat Fenner Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with author and podcaster Pat Fenner, who shares her powerful journey through "gray divorce"—divorce that happens to women over 50, typically after a decade or more of marriage. After 37 years of marriage, Pat found herself having to start over at an age when most couples are planning retirement together. Her story brings to light the unique challenges facing women in gray divorce, from employment gaps that make renting an apartment nearly impossible to the crushing blow to self-worth that comes with feeling "unemployable" after decades focused on family. Pat's transformation from feeling like she'd "end up being a greeter at Walmart" to building a successful podcast production business offers hope and practical wisdom. Her journey highlights hidden skills many women possess but don't recognize—skills developed through years of unpaid but invaluable work managing households, raising children, and caring for aging parents. Perhaps most powerfully, Pat discusses reclaiming her identity and becoming what she calls the family "matriarch,” which is not someone who controls, but someone who serves by sharing hard-won wisdom. Her advice to women in similar situations is to take inventory of your skills, involve yourself in family finances before you have to, and remember that "being a grown ass woman" isn't selfish. It's actually inspiring!

This excerpt from FutureSTRONG Academy's website examines the growing trend of gray divorce, exploring how men and women express indifference differently inrelationships. It highlights the role of biology, particularly serotonin levels, and societal expectations in shaping these differing expressions. The article also discusses the impact of a lack of positive reinforcement and the challenges faced by women who prioritize family over career. Finally, itemphasizes the importance of open communication and understanding in navigating relationship difficulties, whether leading to separation or reconciliation. This podcast helps us answer these questions: How do societal expectations influence gray divorce rates? What biological and psychological factors fuel marital indifference? How does evolving self-perception affect relationship dynamics? Read the article HERE: How Men AndWomen Display Their Indifference Can Be A Prelude To Separation: https://futurestrong.org/2024/01/12/how-men-and-women-display-their-indifference-can-be-a-prelude-to-separation/
This episode of The D Shift highlights the importance of knowing your options, particularly when going through a gray divorce. Mardi Winder-Adams is joined by Laura Phillips, a respected and seasoned reverse mortgage specialist. Together, they explore the realities and misconceptions surrounding reverse mortgages. Laura brings more than three decades of experience in mortgage lending, and her passion for helping older adults navigate this little-understood financial option is evident throughout the conversation.Laura traces the origins of reverse mortgages to the Reagan era, clarifying that these products are government-regulated loans intended for homeowners aged 62 and older. She dismantles some of the most stubborn myths, like the fear that the government will take away your home or that a you can be left unprotected. Instead, Laura explains, homeowners retain full title, and the loan simply functions as a means to convert home equity into usable cash, either through lump sums, monthly payments, or lines of credit, all without the obligation of a monthly mortgage payment.They share a practical comparison between reverse mortgages and traditional HELOCs, highlighting how reverse mortgages can be especially useful for those with limited income in retirement, offering flexibility without demanding repayment until the homeowner sells or moves out of the property. Laura also notes recent legislative changes that further protect borrowers, ensuring better safety if both spouses reside in the home.The discussion extends to considerations for anyone looking to age in place, including the ability to use reverse mortgage funds to modify homes for accessibility or to pay for in-home care. Laura urges listeners to approach these decisions thoughtfully, consult professionals, and always disclose their circumstances honestly, especially when dealing with properties that have rental units or additional occupants.This episode is a great resource for individuals contemplating their financial future after divorce, widowhood, or simply as part of their retirement planning. Laura's expertise makes the sometimes-intimidating topic of reverse mortgages feel much more manageable and relevant for anyone seeking clear information on the subject.About the Guest:Laura Phillips is a Licensed Reverse Mortgage Specialist with a mission to guide people through the entire HECM/Reverse loan process, so they feel confident about the options available for their next 30-year financial strategy. From helping real estate professionals, customers, and financial advisers navigate home financing, she helps customers find mortgage solutions that work for them. 25+ years of experience in real estate lending have taught Laura that it is not just a person's house; it's their home, and it's one of the most significant financial commitments a person will make in their life. She helps people devise strategies to enjoy their best years in their family homes.

"What if the loneliness you feel in your marriage is actually preparing you for the solitude that could set you free?"Pat Fenner thought she knew how marriages were supposed to end. After 37 years, the slow drift into loneliness felt normal. But when divorce blindsided her, this mother of five discovered something unexpected: she had been lonely even when married. What followed was a journey from feeling like a "hard little kernel" to coming home to herself in ways she never imagined. Pat's story challenges everything we think we know about fighting for relationships versus fighting for ourselves."I absolutely love my life right now," Pat declares—words she couldn't have said for fifteen years. Through raw honesty, she reveals the red flags she missed, the fear that kept her trapped, and the surprising difference between solitude and loneliness. Her advice? Stop thinking marriage gets worse with time. Sometimes the very thing we think will destroy our relationship—standing up for ourselves—might actually save it.

Send Jay comments via textWhat happens to long-term relationships when the kids leave home? In this candid conversation, relationship coach Dr. Marie Murphy shares her insightful and judgment-free perspective on the growing phenomenon of gray divorce—the trend of couples separating after the age of 50. With her PhD in sociology of sexuality, Dr. Murphy challenges conventional views on infidelity and relationship transitions. She emphasizes the importance of being honest with ourselves about what we truly want: “Do you want to reconnect, or do you just think you should want to reconnect?” This distinction lies at the heart of our discussion and leads to deeper explorations of relationship dynamics during midlife.Highlights:Understanding gray divorce: 40% of divorces now occur after age 50, often linked to infidelity.The role of intentional curiosity in revitalizing relationships and fostering deeper connections.The dilemma of feeling responsible for others' emotions and how it conflicts with cultural ideas of individualism.Empowering thoughts that help you navigate your relationship choices without guilt or shame.Key Takeaways:Approaching infidelity with a non-judgmental mindset allows for clearer decision-making.The sociology of sexuality focuses on understanding actual behaviors in relationships rather than adhering to societal norms.Making relationship choices often involves balancing competing desires rather than straightforward right or wrong decisions.Marie Murphy's BioDr. Marie Murphy is a non-judgmental infidelity coach, and the host of the podcast Your Secret is Safe with Me. Much of the so-called advice out there for people who are engaging in infidelity is little more than thinly veiled judgment, but that's not what Marie provides. Marie offers guidance and support that respects the fullness of your humanity, and the complexity of your situation - no matter what you're doing in the infidelity department.
