Welcome to another episode of the Women in the Middle podcast!
Sex seems to be a hot topic no matter your age. This is especially true in midlife for many reasons. Things like empty nest and menopause add even more layers to understanding this topic for sure.
Our guest today is Dr. Sonia Wright, a board-certified radiologist, a sexual counselor and a life coach. She’s on a mission to help women embrace their sexuality as well as end the emotional pain and isolation associated with sexual difficulties. She believes wholeheartedly that all women deserve to experience pleasurable sexual intimacy.
Sonia talks about all kinds of things that might make you squirm. It’s surprising how uncomfortable midlife women can be with this whole topic but also how important it is that we talk about it. She encourages women to not only take ownership of intimacy and our bodies, but also get more comfortable about using words for the female anatomy, like Vulva, for example. She reminds us that lube is everything.
You’re going to love hearing Sonia’s fresh take on this common topic and problem. She emphasizes that it’s important to ask questions and no matter your age, that it’s your right to enjoy pleasure. She also shares the importance of embracing responsibility for being more intentional about your sexual health. Consider it an adventure and have fun!
