In this episode of Wake Her Up, Marcella Hill and Sharon Johnson dive into the big question so many midlife women are asking: Is it possible to have a personal transformation without blowing up your marriage?
We’re talking midlife glow-ups, redefining independence inside a relationship, and what it really means to reclaim your autonomy without abandoning your partner. From sleep divorces to getting your own bedroom (yes, really), we explore how carving out space—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—can be the key to deeper self-discovery and connection.
Whether you’re craving more freedom, feeling stuck in old patterns, or just wondering if there's more for you in this season of life, this episode is your permission slip to explore new possibilities—without needing to walk away from everything.
💬 Topics We Cover:
Can you change without losing your relationship?
What a “sleep divorce” is and why more women are choosing it
The difference between isolation and autonomy
How to allow your partner space and claim your own
✨ This conversation is raw, real, and full of “Oh my god, me too” moments. Tune in and find the courage to wake her up—the you that’s been waiting.
