Today, I’m thrilled to share with you the enlightening conversation I had with the incredible Carla Sanders, a mentor for women navigating the transformative period of midlife. Our discussion delved into the often-taboo topics of sex, pleasure, and intimacy during menopause, and I’m here to unfold the layers of this vital conversation in a way that I hope will resonate with many of you.

Meeting Carla Sanders: A Journey to Sexual Fulfillment

Now, let’s talk about the heart of our podcast episode. Carla Sanders, my esteemed guest, is a beacon of wisdom for women in midlife. She mentors women to embrace the fullness of their sexuality, heal from past wounds, and expand their capacity for pleasure and intimacy. Carla opened up about her personal journey of sexual discovery and the marital challenges that propelled her towards sacred sexual healing. Her story is a testament to the power of self-exploration and the courage to confront and overcome personal obstacles.

Navigating Sexuality and Menopause

Carla and I explored the complex landscape of sexuality during menopause. She highlighted the importance of understanding our bodies and the changes they undergo, such as fluctuations in libido, vaginal dryness, and the overall recalibration of sexual experiences. Carla’s message is clear: take a pause, explore new approaches to intimacy, and don’t hesitate to seek professional guidance if you feel it’s necessary.

The Importance of Communication and Self-Discovery

One of the key takeaways from our conversation is the need for open communication with partners. It’s crucial to have honest discussions about your needs, desires, and the physical changes you’re experiencing. Carla encourages women to embark on a journey of self-discovery, to learn what brings them pleasure, and to communicate that with their partners.

Carla generously shared her free e-book, “Sex and Menopause: A Sacred Journey,” which is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this stage of life. You can access this e-book on her website, cosmiccrone.com. Additionally, Carla mentioned her Facebook group, the Womb Wisdom Portal, a space for women to come together and engage in meaningful conversations about liberation and freedom.

Building a Community of Support

I can’t stress enough how important it is to create a community where these conversations can happen openly. By talking about sex and normalizing these discussions, we chip away at the stigma and outdated societal norms that often silence women’s experiences. I’m grateful to Carla for her wisdom and dedication to this cause.

Our discussion on the Boss Body podcast was more than just a conversation; it was a call to action for women in midlife to reclaim their sexuality and find empowerment in their intimate lives. I want to thank Carla for her invaluable insights and for sharing her journey with us. And to my listeners, I encourage you to subscribe to the podcast, share it with others, and join us in breaking down barriers and embracing the fullness of life at every stage.

Remember, your body is a temple, and it’s never too late to celebrate its potential for pleasure, strength, and vitality. Let’s continue to support each other and spread the message of love, intimacy, and body positivity.
