In this powerful and personal episode, I’m diving deep into a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough—libido and menopause.

If you’ve ever felt like your spark disappeared or your desire hit the pause button, you’re not alone—and it’s not just “in your head.” We explore the real, biological shifts happening in your body, including the decline of testosterone and estrogen, and how they affect everything from your sex drive to your energy, motivation, and even your joy.

You’ll learn why testosterone isn’t just a “male hormone,” how vaginal dryness and pelvic floor changes impact your daily life—not just intimacy—and why so many women feel invisible or dismissed during this stage of life.

But this episode isn’t just about what’s going wrong—it’s about what’s possible. I share my own journey of rediscovering pleasure, energy, and desire after a transformational experience in Costa Rica, and how reconnecting to joy and movement lit a fire in me I thought was gone for good.

Whether you’re navigating menopause now or supporting someone who is, this episode is your permission slip to take back control of your health, advocate for the support you deserve, and reignite your connection to your body and your desires.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

  • Why declining testosterone impacts so much more than just your libido
  • The real effects of vaginal dryness and why it needs to be taken seriously
  • The harmful double standard in how men’s and women’s sexual health are treated
  • My personal story of reigniting my desire through joy, movement, and hormone support
  • Why menopause is not the end, but an opportunity to come alive again

This is your reminder that your sexual wellness matters—and you are not alone in this journey.
