And this new, unknown season of life can feel pretty overwhelming - and often lonely.

Listener Dessa asks: “Hey, Megan, I appreciate that you think of women of all ages in all of your podcasts. One question. Do you have any recommendations on how husbands could be more supportive of their wives as they're going through this stage of their life? Thanks.”
