Overview
Pleasure isn’t a luxury—it’s a vital part of wellbeing. In this thoughtful and practical conversation, Leah and Cass, co-founders of Intimate Wellbeing, talk with Sarah Tomchesson about how to maintain and even rediscover pleasure during peri/menopause. You’ll explore how your body, desires, and arousal patterns change over time—and learn how to navigate those shifts with confidence and curiosity.

You’ll Discover:

• The Stages of Sexuality – how our relationship with our bodies evolves through life, with a focus on the peri/menopausal years

• Hormonal changes explained – how shifts in estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone impact vaginal health, libido, and energy

• Desire vs. arousal – understanding the difference and how to nurture both during hormonal transition

• Contextual desire – how accelerators and brakes influence arousal, and why pleasure in midlife is about more than the old PIV model
