Thriving In Menopause

S13E3: S13 E3 Reclaiming Pleasure in Menopause


Listen Later

What does it mean to reconnect with pleasure, intimacy and vitality during menopause? In this bold and insightful episode, we sit down with Adriene Cobcroft, a clinical sexologist, somatic psychotherapist and trauma therapist, to explore the powerful shift that’s possible when women reframe midlife as a time of sexual and emotional awakening – not decline.

Addie shares her wisdom on overcoming shame, the importance of body-based healing, and how emotional wellbeing and pleasure are deeply intertwined. She also unpacks the transformative potential of somatic therapy and how we can start feeling more confident, connected and turned on – no matter our age or relationship status.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Common myths about libido, ageing and desire

  • How shame and trauma get stored in the body – and what to do about it

  • The role of somatic therapy in rekindling intimacy and self-trust

  • Simple, empowering practices to reconnect with your body at home

  • Why the best sex of your life could still be ahead of you

  • How to navigate intimacy in both long-term relationships and new dynamics
