2025 was not an easy year. It challenged us emotionally, mentally, and relationally in ways we didn’t anticipate. In this episode, we sit down and honestly reflect on what the year demanded of us, what we had to release, and how those endings shaped who we are now.This is not a highlight reel. This is a real conversation about growth, loss, clarity, and evolution inside a marriage. We talk about the moments that forced reflection, the patterns that became impossible to ignore, and the lessons that only show up when life gets uncomfortable.If 2025 stretched you, tested you, or made you question things you thought were settled, this conversation is for you. Sometimes growth does not look like winning. Sometimes it looks like letting go and choosing to move forward anyway.Join us as we look back honestly and talk about what had to end so something stronger could begin.What did 2025 reveal to you?*********Welcome to Legacy Journeys — Where Love, Life, and Laughter After 40 Take Center StageWe’re Liv and Mello, a real couple navigating the joys and challenges of love, marriage, and personal growth in midlife.
