Alright, real talk: almost every single question I got from you guys when I said Dr. Cheryl Fraser was coming back on the pod boiled down to one thing. Sex drive in midlife. More specifically: where the hell did it go?

So, if you’ve ever felt like your libido ghosted you around perimenopause or menopause, this episode is your permission slip to stop feeling broken. Cheryl is an award-winning psychologist, couples therapist, and sex expert (and, honestly, one of my fave people ever), and she is laying it all out here: what’s normal, what’s not, and what we can actually do about it.

We talk about everything from Snoopy toothbrushes (yep, you read that right) to hormone therapy, from body image stuff to the very real logistics of midlife sex when your back/knees/neck are like, “nah, girl.” Cheryl brings her signature honesty and humor to a topic that way too many of us have been suffering in silence about.

And listen, you are not alone, you are not weird, and you don’t have to give up on a vibrant sex life just because your hormones are throwing tantrums. This episode is a mix of straight talk, science, and some much-needed laughs.

What’s Inside:

• Why libido often drops during perimenopause and menopause and what’s actually normal
• Cheryl’s personal story of going from “super frisky” to “WTF happened to my orgasms” in six months
• The role of hormones, body image, stress, and relationships in your desire (spoiler: it’s never just one thing)
• Practical steps to figure out if what you’re dealing with is physiological, psychological, or relational and what to do next

So let me ask you. What does a healthy sex life look like for you right now? Is it about getting back to the level of desire you had before or redefining intimacy in a way that feels good today? You don’t have to settle for feeling disconnected. Let’s talk about it. DM me on Instagram and let me know what came up for you after listening.
