Work Family Me - Conversations with Maude

Intimacy and pleasure in menopause, a conversation with Heidi True

Maude Burger-Smith Season 2 Episode 31

This is such a needed conversation in the stress management and the menopause education space. Heidi True and I discuss sexuality, bodies and intimacy in the menopausal transition and beyond - the challenges, the benefits, the practices. Heidi is a certified sex, love and relationship coach, yoga instructor and creative teacher with 20 years of embodiment experience. She holds certifications in both male and female sexuality, pelvic de-armouring and nervous system regulation and works with couples and individuals around their bodies, intimacy and sexuality in midlife and beyond. You can find out more about her here https://heiditrue.com/about/. Listen to our honest discussion to hear more about:


  • Redefining sex and the pleasure imperative
  • Sexy time as another “to-do” on the list
  • What might happen as we stop "accommodating others”
  • Vaginal health 
  • Being in aging bodies with love and appreciation
  • Recognising midlife changes and transitions for men
  • What we might want to think about in our 30s!


These are often secret concerns (and sometimes don’t even make it out of our heads) and I am so pleased to be able to share this interview with you as a validation and source of support!


P.S. Dr Lara Briden and Mama Gena (Regena Thomashauser) are the two authors that Heidi mentions.
