Relationships naturally evolve over time , and in midlife, many people find themselves navigating significant changes. Shifts in priorities, family responsibilities, health, and identity can all impact how we connect with partners, friends, and loved ones. Sometimes these changes bring growth and deeper connection. Other times, they bring uncertainty, conflict, or loss.
At The Messy Mid we provide a supportive space to explore these changes and the feelings that come with them.
