Episode Sex, Sleep & the Science of Libido: Dr Betsy on What Women Really Need After 40

0:00 42:36

When was the last time you heard an honest conversation about women’s sexual health - one without shame, whispering, or outdated myths?

In this powerful and unexpectedly funny episode, Lisa sits down with Dr Betsy Greenleaf, the first board-certified female urogynecologist in the United States, triple board-certified and now specialising in sexual wellness and hormone health for women over 40.

Together they unpack everything we should have learned years ago:

- why sex and orgasm are critical for women’s long-term health, especially through perimenopause and menopause

- the real science behind libido, pleasure and “why I’m just not in the mood”

- how trauma shaped Dr Betsy’s mission to make sure no woman feels dismissed or unseen again

- what’s actually happening to our pelvic floor, hormones and desire as we age

- the simple mindset shift that can transform your sex life: start with willingness, not desire

- why creativity, confidence and even business success are deeply connected to our sexual wellbeing

Dr Betsy brings clarity, compassion, and decades of expertise - and Lisa brings the honest questions every woman wants answered.

If this conversation resonates, follow the show for more real stories, real women, and real transformation.
