RESOURCES FOR EPISODE
DHEA Suppositories (like Intrarosa)
DHEA is a hormone that your body converts into estrogen and testosterone. Inserted vaginally, it helps with dryness, lubrication, and overall tissue health.
Ospemifene (Osphena)
This is a non-hormonal oral pill that acts like estrogen in vaginal tissue. It’s great for postmenopausal women looking for an alternative to traditional estrogen therapy.
Journal Prompt
Here’s your journal prompt for the week:
“If I believed my body was worthy of pleasure, what would I do differently?”
Write it. Sit with it. Let it guide you.
And remember: your spark didn’t disappear.
It’s just waiting for you to stop surviving—and start reconnecting.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
