In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast,
Alexandra Stockwell, MD, interviews her husband, Rodd Stockwell,
MD, and Victor Mangona, MD. Together with Victor’s wife, Kate
Mangona, MD, they have an honest and open discussion about how to
support an ambitious wife. The men share the nuanced (and rarely
articulated) experience of being married to a driven, ambitious,
and growth-oriented woman–the challenges and the gratifications.
Rodd and Victor share their thought processes, including initial
skepticism and eventual support they’ve felt while navigating their
wives' forays into personal growth and coaching. Ultimately it’s
been something that has had a profound and welcome impact on each
of them and their relationships. The husbands are wonderfully frank
in describing how they perceived their partners' personal growth
journeys, and the consequent adjustments inspired within their
marriages. This episode abounds with valuable insights on how to
cultivate deeper emotional, sensual, and erotic intimacy with your
spouse.
