RESOURCES FOR EPISODE

DHEA Suppositories (like Intrarosa)

DHEA is a hormone that your body converts into estrogen and testosterone. Inserted vaginally, it helps with dryness, lubrication, and overall tissue health.

Ospemifene (Osphena)

This is a non-hormonal oral pill that acts like estrogen in vaginal tissue. It’s great for postmenopausal women looking for an alternative to traditional estrogen therapy.

Here’s your journal prompt for the week:

“If I believed my body was worthy of pleasure, what would I do differently?”

Write it. Sit with it. Let it guide you.

And remember: your spark didn’t disappear.

It’s just waiting for you to stop surviving—and start reconnecting.
