Sexy After 50: Improve Sex & Intimacy by Healing Your Nervous System
Sexy After 50 is the podcast for women over 50 who are done pretending they don’t miss feeling turned on, confident, and alive in their bodies.
If sex feels confusing, inconsistent, painful, or nonexistent…
If your desire disappeared and no one explained why…
If you’re tired of being told it’s “just hormones” or that this is “normal aging”…
You’re in the right place.
I’m Dr. Juls, licensed therapist, nervous-system specialist, and midlife expert—and this show is about waking up what never left.
Each episode explores how intimacy, sex, pleasure, and desire after 50 are shaped not just by hormones, but by your nervous system, stress load, emotional labor, body confidence, and lived experience. We go beneath surface-level sex tips and into somatic healing, feminine energy reconnection, and nervous-system regulation so your body can feel safe enough to want again.
This is for women navigating:
• Low libido
• Painful or disconnected sex
• Sexless marriage or mismatched desire
• Weight gain and body shame
• Hormonal changes
• Feeling invisible, unwanted, or alone
Sexy After 50 shows you how to rebuild pleasure, emotional connection, intimacy, and confidence—without forcing yourself, fixing yourself, or faking desire.
Because your fire never left.
It went into protection.
And we’re waking it up—gently, powerfully, and on your terms.
If your body is saying, “Yes—this is what I’ve been needing to hear,”

Sexy After 50 Trailer: Why Your Nervous System—Not Your Hormones—Is Blocking Sex, Intimacy, and Desire
When was the last time you felt real desire?
Not obligation.
Not “I should want this.”
But actual, embodied, I want you desire.
If you can’t remember, this podcast is for you.
For women over 50, low libido isn’t just about hormones.
It’s about a nervous system that’s been stuck in survival mode for decades.
Chronic stress, caregiving, professional responsibility, emotional labor, and burnout quietly shut down the body’s capacity for sex, intimacy, and pleasure. When your nervous system doesn’t feel safe, arousal becomes biologically impossible.
Welcome to Sexy After 50—the podcast for women who refuse to believe numbness, painful sex, or sexless marriages are “just what happens” with age.
Dr. Juls, a PhD-trained counselor and midlife expert. This show blends nervous system healing, somatic work, and honest conversations about sex and intimacy after 50—without shame, pressure, or quick fixes.
In this trailer, you’ll discover:
- Why your libido didn’t die—it went into protective shutdown
- How “trying harder” actually blocks desire
- Why nervous system healing, not willpower, restores pleasure
- What functional freeze is—and why so many women over 50 live there
- What this podcast will (and will not) offer you
This is not about spicing things up.
It’s about helping your body feel safe enough to want again.
If you’re done blaming hormones
If you’re ready to stop forcing sex and start feeling intimacy again
Sexy After 50 is a podcast for women over 50 navigating low libido, sexless marriage, painful sex, and intimacy struggles, teaching nervous system healing, somatic practices, and emotional reconnection to restore desire, pleasure, and confident sexuality after menopause.

Here's something no one tells you about turning 50. You don't lose your libido. You just forget you're allowed to want anything. When was the last time you felt desire? Not, I should want this. Not I'll do it because he wants it. Actual visceral. I need you right now. Desire, if you can't remember. You are listening to the Right podcast. Sexy after 50, improve sex and intimacy by healing your nervous system so you finally feel turned on and coughed in. Again, I'm Dr. Jules and we're waking up but never left desiring and fire. I'm Dr. Jules, and this is Sexy After 50. This podcast is for the woman who dreads the question, are you awake when her partner comes to bed? Feels like a roommate instead of a lover. Googles am I asexual at 3:00 AM because she's starting to think that's just who she is now. Huh. She looks in the mirror and doesn't recognize the woman staring back and you know, sometimes feels angry that she's supposed to just accept this is the new normal girl. If that is you, you aren't alone and nothing about you is broken. Here's a hard truth that they just don't tell us enough. Your libido did not die. It's been guarded. Your body didn't shut down because you're too old or dried up. It shut down because it's been surviving for decades. Your nervous system, not your hormones control, pleasure and no amount of lingerie. Date nights or trying harder will work if your body still thinks it's at war. So we are going to stop blaming estrogen and we're going to start telling the truth. In this show, we're gonna talk about the things that no one else says out loud very often, and that's why you feel nothing when you're touched. Even though you're very much in love, why maintenance sex can make you feel worse, not better, and why your sacral chakra might be blocked and what that actually means for your nervous system. And girl, how to stop treating your body like a problem to solve. It's a beautiful thing. You are going to start treating it like a place to live. I've designed each episode to blend real neuroscience, somatic healing, and honest, sometimes messy conversations about low libido, painful sex, sexless, marriages, perimenopause, post-divorce, or widow dating. Body shame and what it actually takes to feel alive again after 50. I'm a PhD trained counselor who spent 30 years helping other people heal y'all while my own body was shutting down. I know what it's like to lie in bed thinking, what is wrong with me? And I know what it takes to come back not through trying harder, not through scheduling sex, not through pretending, but through nervous system work, through somatic healing, through giving your body permission to stop performing and start feeling. I used to dread intimacy, but girl, I'm gonna be honest now, I initiate it. I used to feel invisible. Now I feel magnetic. I used to think my body was broken. Now I know it was just exhausted. And the women I work with. I hear them say things like this. I initiated sex for the first time in 18 months. I didn't plan it. I just wanted him. I forgot what it felt like to feel anything. Now I can't stop feeling everything. I thought this part of my life was over. It's not over. It's just beginning. This podcast is not a spice up your marriage. Podcast. This is not a 10 Sexy Tricks podcast. This is a nervous system intervention for high achieving women who have achieved their way into numbness. We don't do fluff, we don't do pressure. We do not fix you. We do the work that helps your body remember how to feel safe enough to feel pleasure. So if you're tired of performing, instead of participating, managing instead of wanting being the strong one while disappearing inside your own life. If you're ready to stop forcing it and start feeling it. If you want to wake up, the woman midlife tried to kill. Girl hit subscribe because this is where we stop pretending everything is just fine and we start getting greedy. For our own joy, I'm Dr. Jules, and this is Sexy After 50, and here's what I know. Your desire isn't dead. It's just buried under a lifetime of being the capable one. Let's dig it up. New episodes every week and PS look for my book. Are we gonna have sex or what coming out in the spring? Is your body saying yes. This is what I've been needing to hear. Download the Desire and Fire reset while that spark is still flick. It's free and it's the exact nervous system practice that brings sex and intimacy back from shutdown. The link is in the show notes. Your fire never left. Let's wake it up.
