In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Angela Wright, a clinical sexologist, menopause specialist, and co-founder of Spiced Pear Health, to talk about the most requested topic from our listeners: sex and perimenopause.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering where your libido went (and whether you’ll ever get it back), if sex has become uncomfortable, confusing, or simply another task on your to-do list—this one’s for you.

Dr. Angela brings clarity, compassion, and a no-BS attitude to a topic that’s still too often whispered about. We talk about why UTIs, vaginal dryness, and painful sex are common—but not normal. We unpack the impact of changing hormones on desire, arousal, and body image. And we explore what it really means to reclaim pleasure and agency in your 40s and beyond.

We also dive into:

🎟️ The orgasm gap (yep, it’s real—and the stats will blow your mind)

🤐 Why long-term relationships often suffer in silence when it comes to sex

💪 How perimenopause can be the gateway to deeper confidence and more authentic pleasure

🗣️ And how to talk to your partner about what’s really going on with your body

Dr. Angela doesn’t just talk science—she talks about how it feels, and why so many women are hitting their sexual stride after menopause (yes, really).

This episode is for every woman who’s ever felt “too much,” “not enough,” or just plain invisible. It’s time to rewrite the narrative—on our terms.

✨ Plus: Angela shares practical tools, lube tips (trust us, it’s a game-changer), and how estrogen is your vulva’s best friend.

So grab a glass of wine (or tea), a notebook - and join us.
