36: Sexual Wellbeing and Body Image in midlife and beyond
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sexual wellbeing often changes in midlife. Bodies change. Desire changes. But you don't have to settle for being dissatisfied.
Yet very few women are given tools to talk about it without shame, pressure, or self-blame.
In this episode, I explore the often-overlooked link between body image and sexual wellbeing — and why your thoughts and emotions play a bigger role than your appearance ever could.
Drawing on insights from a women’s and sexual health doctor, alongside my own lived experience and coaching work, I break down:
• Why the brain is the most important sexual organ
• How cultural messages about women’s bodies shape intimacy
• Why pressure, duty, and “shoulds” kill desire
• What body image actually is — beyond the mirror
• How shame quietly impacts connection and communication
• Why working with thoughts and emotions changes what’s possible
• Practical ways to approach intimacy
This episode is for you if:
• You feel disconnected from your body or desire
• You feel a bit hopeless or frustrated and like you have to settle
• Communication feels hard
