In this empowering episode, we dive deep into the complex world of female sexuality, libido, relationships, and emotional wellness—especially through midlife, perimenopause, and separation. From the biology of desire to the importance of self-awareness, expert guests and candid conversations explore what really drives intimacy, connection, and wellbeing in women.

We talk honestly about:

• Why libido shifts during perimenopause and menopause
• How to stop the guilt around sex & low desire
• The power of friendship, oxytocin, and emotional intimacy
• Navigating separation with dignity, strength, and legal clarity
• How building a support team is key during life transitions
• Why prioritizing relationships is critical to long-term health

Whether you're navigating a new phase in your relationship, curious about midlife sexuality, or feeling disconnected—this episode will help you reclaim your energy, confidence, and connection.
