When the house goes quiet, the old stories often get loud—especially those nagging voices whispering “I’m not enough, not lovable, not likable.” In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with coach and author Jonathon Aslay to explore how midlife transitions, empty nesting, and dating can trigger these core wounds. More importantly, we discuss a practical and compassionate path back to worthiness that supports not only new relationships but also long marriages ready for rejuvenation.
Jonathon shares his personal journey of transformation through pain—navigating divorce, a career collapse, and the devastating loss of his son. These experiences have profoundly reshaped his understanding of love and self-worth. Together, we dive deep into self-love as a skill set, encompassing self-worth, self-esteem, self-discipline, self-reliance, and nurturing the “six-year-old” within us all.
For empty nest couples, we outline practical steps to rekindle connection, including shared workshops, therapy sessions, and curiosity rituals that cultivate a new partnership.
