In this episode of The Radically Well Podcast, hosts Rosie Acosta and Tessa Tovar explore the complexities of body image, self-acceptance, and how menopause impacts relationships, and libido. They discuss the importance of open communication about sexual desire, the challenges women face, such as the orgasm gap, and the power of mindfulness and self-connection in fostering intimacy. Sharing personal experiences and expert insights, they break down hormone replacement therapy, the stigma surrounding menopause, and practical solutions for common concerns like vaginal dryness.
If you're ready to explore how perimenopause and menopause affect relationships, libido, and how you can feel confident and sexy at any age, this episode is for you!
Three reasons to listen to the entire episode:
1. Recognize that it’s normal for women to experience changes in libido and vaginal dryness during menopause.
2. Seek help and learn to monitor hormone levels, such as testosterone, which can enhance well-being and sexual desire.
3. Practice exploring and communicating sexual preferences with partners; good news: this can help bridge the orgasm gap and reduce the pressure and shame many women feel in their intimate lives.
