Road of Life Podcast Episode 111:

What if I told you the secret to a 42-year thriving marriage was having an affair?

(Don’t panic - it’s with her husband. I promise.)

In this episode, we’re hanging out with the absolute powerhouse that is Margie Dunki-Jacobs. She dropped some bombs that had us picking our jaws up off the floor - including how she and her husband reignited their relationship by pretending they were sneaking around.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Margie is the definition of living life on your own terms. She walked away from a 46-year life in Vermont, looked at her husband, and basically said, “I’m going. You coming?”

She ditched the corporate ladder, shredded the “go to college, get a good job, die quietly” script, and built a kickass life and business by design.

We dive deep into the good stuff, like:

• ✨ The Expectation Trap: Why releasing expectations might just be the most liberating thing you do for your love life (and your sanity).
• ✨ Getting Unstuck: How to stop obsessing over the whole road and just ask, “What’s the next right step?”

• ✨ The Shared North Star: How to make sure you’re rowing the boat in the same direction, rather than just being roommates who share a Netflix password.

This isn’t just a sweet success story. It’s a masterclass in courageous living. Whether you feel like you’re stuck in a rut, or you’re just tired of following everyone else’s rules, Margie’s wisdom is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

Small hinges swing big doors, and this episode is a massive hinge.
