Pleasure in the Pause: Midlife Conversations About Menopause, Sex & Pleasure
What does it mean to age with pleasure?
Pleasure in the Pause is a podcast for women navigating midlife, menopause and beyond who want to feel more connected to their bodies, their relationships and themselves.
Hosted by women’s health and sexual wellness educator Gabriella Espinosa, the show brings together candid conversations with doctors, researchers, thought leaders and wellness experts exploring what shapes our capacity for pleasure as we age — from hormones and sexual health to body image, nervous system regulation, intimacy, relationships, friendship and community.
Because healthy aging isn’t just about living longer — it’s about feeling alive, connected and at home in our bodies throughout the years ahead.
Pleasure has no age limit or expiration date!
