Menopause Rise and Thrive | Helping Women Navigate Midlife and Menopause

103. Pleasure


Listen Later

Are you feeling stuck in the "shoulds" of midlife — checking all the boxes of success but still wondering, is this all there is? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken. In this inspiring episode, we're talking about how pleasure, self-discovery, and nervous system healing can reignite your midlife revolution.

Today, I’m joined by Natty Frasca, a pleasure coach, speaker, and fierce advocate for midlife women owning their full power. Natty shares her deeply personal story of transformation after hitting 40 — and how reconnecting with pleasure helped her rebuild her marriage, career, and sense of self. If you’re ready to reclaim your joy and lead with love, this conversation is for you!

 

In this episode:

  •  Natty’s “kitchen counter epiphany” — and how it changed everything.
  • Why feeling good isn't just nice — it’s revolutionary.
  • How pleasure practices heal the nervous system and fuel resilience.
  • Why traditional marriage narratives don't fit many midlife women (and what to do about it).
  • Small, everyday ways to “love push” and ripple positive change into the world.
  • How Natty rebuilt her marriage through intention, imagination, and action.
  • The essential link between pleasure, safety, and true intimacy.
