In this week’s episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I’ll be answering some common questions about being a midlife woman. We’ll be diving into the big three topics: sex drive, urinary incontinence, and menopause — these issues many women face but don’t talk about enough.
Today, I’ll share valuable insights on each of these topics, offering guidance and support.
If you’ve been struggling with any of these challenges, or simply want to understand how they impact midlife, know that you’re not alone. Tune in as we explore these subjects, debunk myths, and provide you with the tools to feel empowered, vibrant, and in control during this transformative stage of life.

Quotations:
"Don’t be held back by menopause.”
"Sex is not just about the act, it's about an attitude. Sexy is confidence."
"The most beautiful season of your life is still ahead of you, even when you hit menopause."
"Midlife changes are common, but they’re not a sentence. You don’t have to fear or accept them as final. This season can be beautiful, empowering, and full of wisdom."
"Aging doesn’t mean giving up on your health or desires. Normalize what’s happening, find what works for you, and don’t shy away from seeking support."
"Sexuality in midlife isn’t about giving up. It’s about discovering a new normal and keeping intimacy alive in ways that work for you and your relationship."
"Take initiative for your waning sexuality—this aspect is important not just for your partner, but for you too. God created intimacy to be beautiful, unique, and private to marriage."
"Menopause doesn’t mean the end; it’s a new chapter. The wisdom, authenticity, and strength you gain make this one of the most incredible seasons of your life."
"Remember, it’s not about what you’re losing but what you’re gaining: peace in who you are, confidence in your choices, and the joy of truly living."
