Caroline and her husband John celebrate their 20-year anniversary on “Coming In Hot” by walking through a psychologist’s six stages of marriage and sharing what they’ve lived through so far, focusing on the honeymoon, realization, and rebellion stages. They openly discuss early red flags they ignored, especially around money, family dynamics, expectations, and communication, plus moments when the “rose-colored glasses” came off, including John getting fired and how he handled it. They talk about power struggles after kids, feeling controlled or resentful, and how having purpose, boundaries, lists, and honest conversations helped them rebuild connection. They share practical ways they stayed close—weekly date nights, travel, trying new things, and showing affection—while emphasizing respect, trust, patience, and not trying to change each other, ending with a playful lightning round and advice for making marriage last.

In this episode, Caroline chats with board-certified OB-GYN and bestselling author Dr. Mary Claire Haver about why menopause and perimenopause are often misunderstood and under-taught in medicine, and why “just getting older” is not an acceptable diagnosis. Dr. Haver shares how she shifted from university medicine into opening a menopause clinic after COVID, and explains that menopause is a whole-body event with estrogen receptors throughout the body, affecting sleep, mood, brain fog, palpitations, vertigo, skin, and more. She breaks down the stages of perimenopause and menopause, describing hormone “chaos” as eggs decline, and stresses prioritizing sleep, resistance training, protein, fiber, and reducing processed foods and sugar to fight inflammation and prevent frailty. They discuss careful, monitored use of GLP-1s, skepticism about unregulated peptides/NAD, Dr. Haver’s own hormone regimen, and where to find menopause care. If you or someone you know is in the age of menopause, pre, during and post, this episode is for you!
