Welcome back to Here Comes Sunshine. In Part 2 of our Deciding to Stay or Go series, we're turning the focus inward. You can’t make a grounded decision about your relationship until you know what you're truly looking for.

So many men over 40 have never fully asked themselves:

• What kind of connection do I crave?
• What does intimacy look like for the man I’ve become?
• What type of partnership feels aligned with my values?

• How to define your relationship vision in just five powerful sentences
• How to name your non-negotiables and core values
• How to recognize old patterns that are no longer serving you

• Have I outgrown this version of love?
• What part of me have I been silencing to avoid conflict?
• What would it look like to love—and be loved—in a way that honors who I am now?

Today’s episode will help you reconnect with your emotional, physical, and relational needs. You’ll walk away with practical tools and clarity, not about what your partner wants, but about what you want in this next season of life. We’ll cover: You’ll also get reflective prompts like: You deserve clarity. And you’re allowed to want more.

Let’s keep walking this path together.

You’re doing the brave work.

Welcome to Here Comes Sunshine. Today, we begin a powerful four-part series for anyone who has ever lain awake asking, “Should I stay, or is it time to go?”

Whether you’ve been married for decades, dating again after divorce, or sitting in a relationship that no longer feels right, you’re not alone. This episode invites you to stop ignoring your needs and get honest about where you truly stand.

We’ll explore:

• How to create a relationship energy audit

• What emotional patterns you been tolerating

• How to reconnect with what you want and need

You’ll also get soul-searching questions to reflect on, like:

• Who am I when I’m around my partner?

• Have I been honest about my unhappiness?

• What am I afraid will happen if I speak my truth?

This isn’t about rushing to a decision—it’s about beginning a deeper, more honest conversation with yourself.

If you need support on this journey, you can find coaching tools and resources in my Stan Store or contact me directly at sarah@intimateconsciousness.com.

You don’t have to stay stuck.
And you don’t have to walk this alone.

It is that time of year again, I am taking some time to unplug, enjoy time with family, and get my house (literally) in order!

See you in a couple of weeks!
