In this episode, I explore how understanding your menstrual cycle, hormones, and changing life stages can help you make sense of shifts in libido—and prevent those changes from creating unnecessary conflict in your relationship. Libido is about more than sex drive; it is also connected to energy, vitality, confidence, and feminine energy.
Listen in to hear me share:
The many factors that can influence desire, including stress, sleep, mental and physical health, medications, body image, and relationship quality
The difference between spontaneous and responsive desire
My “finish line and obstacles” analogy for understanding why desire sometimes feels closer or farther away
How the menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases can affect mood, energy, and libido
How desire may change during pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and menopause
Why changes in libido should not automatically be taken personally by either partner
Practical ways to track your cycle, communicate your needs, prioritize your health, and build greater emotional and physical intimacy
