Ever find yourself thinking, “Isn’t midlife supposed to be more fun?” You’re not alone, and that’s exactly why today’s episode, “How You Reclaim Pleasure in Midlife,” is such an important listen. I’m joined by the fabulous “pleasure queen,” Natty Frasca, a coach for midlife women dedicated to helping us rekindle joy, purpose, and playfulness as we navigate this pivotal chapter of life.

In this conversation, Natty and I break down what it really means to reclaim pleasure in midlife. We talk about why pleasure isn’t selfish or frivolous but absolutely essential. You’ll learn why most of us have lost touch with what lights us up, how “mom guilt” and old scripts hold us back, and most importantly, how small acts of joy can become life-changing.

If you’re ready to stop living on autopilot, reconnect with your desires, and show up as the most vibrant version of yourself (for you and everyone you love), this episode will give you the practical tools and encouragement to start reclaiming your pleasure right now. 

What You'll Learn:

  1. Why pleasure is a vital part of midlife wellness, not a selfish indulgence
    Understand how prioritizing your own joy has a positive impact on everyone around you.
  2. Simple ways to start reclaiming pleasure even when guilt shows up
    Learn Natty’s “compounding pleasure” technique and start with tiny, guilt-free steps.
  3. Reconnect with your true desires and sense of aliveness
    Discover why so many women forget what they want, and how to gently rediscover it.
  4. Model resilience and joy for your children and community
    See how your transformation can inspire the next generation to embrace pleasure and self-love.
  5. Concrete first steps for your own midlife pleasure journey
    Try Natty’s “desire ritual,” get micro-action ideas, and learn how to find the right circle of support.
