Curious about what really happens to your sex life during perimenopause and beyond?

In this episode, I sit down with endocrinologist Dr. Gillian Goddard to unpack what’s going on inside your body — from hormones to blood flow, from estrogen to testosterone, and how it all impacts desire, arousal, and pleasure. We talk about vaginal atrophy (yes, it’s a thing), pelvic health, and the real changes that happen as you move through this stage of life.

Dr. Goddard breaks down the science in a way that feels clear and approachable, while also naming the emotional and relational side of these changes. We explore not just what’s happening physically, but also how to advocate for your sexual health, navigate conversations with your partner or doctor, and keep pleasure at the center of your experience—even when your body feels different than it used to.

Whether you’re approaching menopause, in the thick of it, or just want to understand your body better, this grounded, insightful conversation will help you feel informed, empowered, and a whole lot less alone.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your pleasure or unsure how to unlock your desire, you’re not alone.My new ⁠⁠self-paced course⁠⁠ is here to help you understand what your body — and brain — actually need to feel turned on. Whether you’re partnered or solo, this is a private, flexible way to explore desire, clear obstacles, and reconnect with your sexual self — on your own terms.
