GUIDED SUPPORT
For when information isn’t enough
Many women find that individual guides help answer specific questions.
Others feel stuck — especially when sex has become painful, uncomfortable, or emotionally distressing.
If you’re looking for more than written information, we offer an optional guided support resource that brings clarity, structure, and expert insight together in one place.
When Sex Hurts & Desire Feels Gone
A gentle, expert-guided plan for midlife women navigating pain, discomfort, and changes in desire.
This on-demand guide helps you understand what’s happening in your body, reduce fear and self-blame, and move forward safely — without pressure or pushing through.
It brings together a clear framework, calm written guidance, and selected expert conversations, thoughtfully sequenced.
Clear, written guidance for common midlife sexual health questions
Our Guides & Resources are designed to offer calm, written clarity around some of the most common — and often misunderstood — aspects of midlife sexual health.
These guides are not meant to overwhelm or replace medical care. They exist to help you understand what’s happening in your body, reduce fear and self-blame, and feel more confident exploring your next steps — whether that’s learning more, speaking with a professional, or simply realizing you’re not alone.
Each guide focuses on one core topic and is grounded in evidence-informed insight and real midlife experience.
