Marriage doesn’t stay the same and it’s not supposed to. In this episode of The Shifted Podcast, Amira sits down with her husband, Sam, to talk honestly about what it takes to grow separately and still stay together after thirty years of marriage.
From meeting in 1992, marrying in 1994, raising three kids, and walking through health struggles, belief differences, and hard relationship challenges, Amira and Sam share how boundaries and self-respect reshaped their connection.
This conversation explores:
How to grow as individuals without drifting apart
Why boundaries create more intimacy, not less
The role of self-respect in long-term marriage
Navigating marriage challenges and change in midlife
