Celebrating 100 Episodes Of Pleasure In The Pause: What These Conversations Have Revealed
Most women in midlife were never taught the language for what is happening in their bodies — and that silence has real consequences in the bedroom and at the doctor's office. In this special 100th episode, I step into the hot seat and get interviewed for the very first time. Watch to the end — I share things I have never said publicly before, including what I am building next. DETAILED OVERVIEW This is Episode 100 of Pleasure in the Pause — our two-year anniversary — and to celebrate, my friend and fellow midlife health expert Karen Cerezo turns the tables and interviews me. We get into the real story behind why I started this podcast, what I have learned from 100 conversations with leading doctors and researchers in women's sexual health, and the patterns I keep seeing in the women I work with. We cover the most common myths about midlife pleasure, the critical difference between systemic hormones and local hormone therapy, why pelvic floor therapy belongs on every woman's self-care list, and the cutting-edge medical tools most women have never heard of. We also talk about what it means to widen the definition of pleasure — and what it feels like to step into a new decade with intention. If you are navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply want to feel more informed and connected to your body in this season of life, this episode is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS *Midlife does NOT mean the end of pleasure — there are more tools, treatments, and options available right now than most women realize *Systemic hormones and local hormone therapy are two different things, and understanding the difference could change your experience of intimacy completely *Knowing your own anatomy is the foundation of self-advocacy — both in the bedroom and at the doctor's office *Pelvic floor therapy is one of the most underused and most effective tools available to women in midlife, and most women do not know it exists until they need it *Pleasure is broader than the bedroom — expanding your definition of what lights you up is where confidence and connection begin CALL TO ACTION If this episode resonated, subscribe to Pleasure in the Pause and share it with a woman in your life who needs this conversation.
