Is there a future for modern marriage in America, and if so then how should it look?
 Poonam sits down with Dr. Amanda Hanson, also known as "The Midlife Muse," Amanda is an author, speaker and psychologist whose transformative approach to redefining the paradigm of womanhood has reached millions of women around the world. Her insights span across aging, healing and relationships. On today's episode, we talk about her internal setting for abundance despite a childhood lacking in material things. We discuss how her parents' divorce and her father’s abandonment shaped her worldview and in part led her towards psychology, and how she was able to make the five days they shared together before his death seem like a lifetime, and feel like it was enough. We talk about self-love, gaslighting, how the patriarchy hurts everyone and why she feels called to publish her upcoming book (not yet released)…which is going to ruffle more than a few feathers. At one point, we imagine together a world where I’ve convinced her to run for president with me as her VP, and dream up all of the emotionally meaningful legislation we could pass together. Finally, we delve deep into the balance between the divine feminine & masculine, how communication and relationship standards are changing…and what all of this means for the future of marriage in America. If there’s a future at all. We’re optimistic.
