What if everything we’ve been taught about pleasure, menopause, and the menstrual cycle was wrong?

For generations, women have been conditioned to disconnect, from their sensuality, their cycles, their desires, and their power. We’ve been told that midlife is a decline, that menopause is something to fix, and that pleasure is something to earn, but what if none of that was true?

In this episode of Your Fully Expressed Life, I’m joined by Penny van der Sluys, a pleasure activist and feminine empowerment coach, to rewrite the script on women’s bodies, cycles, and our feminine power.

We unravel the deep cultural conditioning that has kept women small, explore why menopause is actually a portal to wisdom, and discuss how reclaiming our pleasure and our body at any age can transform the way we move through life.

This conversation is about breaking free from the idea that pleasure is something we must “deserve” or that fades with time.

Whether you’re navigating midlife, perimenopause, or simply wanting to reconnect with your feminine energy and your pleasure, this episode is for you.

✨ The biggest myths about pleasure, menopause & feminine power

✨ Why midlife isn’t a decline → it’s an awakening

✨ How the menstrual cycle is a key to health & self-awareness

✨ The impact of birth control on our connection to our bodies

✨ How pleasure & sensuality are radical acts of self-expression

✨ Why women are conditioned to suppress their desires & intuition

✨ How cycle awareness & body literacy can change your life

Penny van der Sluys is a pleasure activist, sex & feminine empowerment coach, conscious creatrix, & soul-led connector.

She invites women in their midlife to prioritise pleasure, play and passion, and discover their super powerful, untapped sensual, sexual and feminine energy so they can feel confident, free and in love with their body and life.

She creates unique, empowering spaces, programs, events and 1:1 experiences for womben in their midlife and beyond, to reclaim the feminine, explore their sexy, sensual side, discover a new way of being in sisterhood, and establish a powerful relationship with Mother Nature.

As a pleasure activist she’s a champion/cheerleader and advocate for women in their midlife and beyond to discover and prioritise their largely hidden, undervalued, suppressed and controlled sensual and sexual pleasure superpowers that are the keys to our self-expression, voice, confidence, and power.

🎙️ [00:05:10] – What living a fully expressed life means to Penny
