Life Turned On: Stories of Sexual Self-Discovery in Midlife & Beyond
Life Turned On: Stories of Sexual Self Discovery in Midlife and Beyond is a podcast that challenges societal norms and celebrates the power of sexual exploration later in life. Join us as we dive into the lives of women aged 35 and better, who have experienced a profound awakening and newfound liberation in their sexuality. Through intimate interviews, literature reviews, expert advice, sex education and insightful discussions, we unravel the myth that sexual vitality fades with age. Rediscover the joys of self-discovery, body acceptance, and authentic intimacy on Life Turned On.

S4:E3 - Shedding HIV Stigma with Vanessa Leja
In this episode, we speak with Vanessa, a ten-year HIV thriver who has transformed her diagnosis into a journey of power, advocacy, and deep self-trust.
Vanessa’s story invites us to release old scripts about sex, health, and worth. It’s a conversation about resilience, mutual accountability, and the quiet strength it takes to become your own source of healing.
Welcome to Season Four. We’re not just talking about shedding—we’re doing it. In our bodies, our breath, our choices, and our stories.
If you're feeling the pull to go deeper this season, here are a few ways to connect beyond the podcast:
