How Desire Comes Back in Midlife

At what point did desire start feeling different for you?

Was it gradual, something that quietly faded into the background?
Or did you wake up one day and realize the spark you once recognized wasn’t showing up the same way anymore?

So many women in midlife ask themselves the same questions:
What’s my level of desire now?
Is this normal?
Is something wrong with me or is this just how it is from here on out?

In this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body, Kim Nicholson flips the entire conversation on its head.

Because desire doesn’t disappear in midlife... it changes how it shows up.
It becomes quieter. Slower. More subtle.
And most women miss it because they’re waiting for the version they remember instead of noticing the one that’s returning.

This episode explores what desire actually looks like now  not in theory, not in movies, but in real life. You’ll learn how your nervous system plays a central role in bringing desire back online, why safety matters more than urgency, and how to recognize the early signs that something inside you is already shifting.

We talk about why forcing desire backfires, how pressure shuts it down, and why the slow return is not a failure it’s wisdom.

If you’ve ever wondered where your desire went, what level of desire is realistic in this season, or whether it will ever come back in a way that feels authentic to you — this conversation will bring clarity, relief, and hope.

Not because you need to fix yourself.
But because there’s more happening inside you than you’ve been taught to notice.
