Episode 386: The Art of Pleasure: Rediscovering Healthy Indulgence at Midlife w/ Laini Gray


Listen Later

In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that’s rarely discussed but incredibly important: the art of pleasure at midlife. I’m joined by Laini Gray as we explore why many women have either disconnected from intentional pleasure or are caught in cycles of false pleasures that don’t truly satisfy.

We cover:

  • The science behind pleasure – How our brain chemistry works and why pleasure matters for our health and longevity
  • False pleasures vs. true pleasures – Understanding the difference between momentary escapes and genuine joy
  • The unique challenges midlife women face – Why we struggle to prioritize pleasure and how societal messaging contributes
  • Practical strategies – Simple ways to incorporate more meaningful pleasure into your daily life

This conversation isn’t just about indulgence—it’s about reclaiming your right to joy and making pleasure a non-negotiable part of your wellness journey. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from what truly brings you happiness, this episode is your permission slip to prioritize pleasure again.
