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.

Life Turned On: Stories of Sexual Self-Discovery in Midlife & Beyond
S4:E17 - Shedding Orgasm & Redefining Intimacy with Joanna Arai
(CW: Sex trafficking.) In this episode, we talk with coach and trauma-conscious practitioner Joanna Arai about what it really means to reclaim intimacy with yourself. Joanna shares her path from survival and disconnection to deep embodiment and pleasure, all while never having experienced orgasm. Through vulnerability and self-honesty, she’s cultivated a rich, beautiful sex life rooted in presence, not performance. This conversation explores how true intimacy begins within and how self-connection can transform every part of how we love and live.
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.
