What if midlife isn’t a crisis—but an opening? In this episode of The Purple Passion Project, Dr. Stacy sits down with Sheryl, a 55-year-old single mom and business owner who redefined her life and relationships after years of monogamy. Just before turning 50, Sheryl stepped into the BDSM lifestyle and later incorporated swinging—discovering not just freedom, but a deeply committed partnership rooted in trust, communication, and consent. Sheryl shares her journey through marriage, divorce, widowhood, and dating, how she shifted her mindset around monogamy, and what it really looks like to balance parenting, work, privacy, and pleasure.
