The Truth About Midlife Sexuality: Insights from Dr. Kelly Casperson | Urologist, Author and Sexual Medicine Expert
Here’s a topic that’s often overlooked, dismissed, or shrouded in stigma: sexual longevity and desire in midlife and beyond.We are living longer than ever before. The average woman today can expect to live well into her 80s, with decades of life post-menopause. And yet, the messaging we receive about sexuality often suggests that desire dwindles, pleasure fades, and our sensual selves should quietly retire. Spoiler alert: That’s not true.Joining me today is Dr. Kelly Casperson, a board-certified Urologist, sexual medicine expert, author of You Are Not Broken, and host of the podcast of the same name. On a recent trip to Australia to headline the So Hot Right Now event, a juggernaut of a women’s health and menopause movement, held at the Opera House, Dr Kelly brought down the house with her frank approach to sexual health and longevity. She has made it her mission to debunk myths about female pleasure, break down the science of sexual function, and empower women to reclaim their bodies, desire, and confidence at any stage of life. From hormonal changes and genitourinary health to the impact of mindset, medical treatments, and modern sexual wellness products, we’ll cover what women need to know to have a thriving sex life—not just in their 20s, but in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and well beyond. Key Takeaways: Sexual health is a vital part of overall well-being and longevity Desire often shifts due to hormonal changes—especially during menopause Common issues like dryness are widespread, but not “normal” Urologists play a crucial role in supporting female sexual function Better sex education is needed—most women weren’t taught the basics Pornography often misrepresents the reality of sexual connection Vibrators and sexual aids can improve comfort, health, and pleasure The “orgasm gap” speaks to a broader issue in sexual equity Social media distorts views of anatomy and performance Women often internalise criticism about their bodies for decades Testosterone plays a key role in women’s mood and desire Many women experience a sexual renaissance in midlife Communication and connection are fundamental to fulfilment Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/XkMuptzJDlkSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Starting Again with Style: Real Housewife of Sydney Star on Midlife Power Moves | Nicole O’Neil, Founder of Bon Patch
In this conversation, Nicole and I get into what reinvention really looks like in midlife, from shifting careers, finding a new purpose, to redefining relationships. After a hailstorm of headlines, Nicole opens up about the importance of female friendships, inspiration from cultural identity, and the art of saying no when it no longer feels right, a privilege that often comes with age. We also discuss how the connection between wellness, beauty, and emotional resilience is more relevant than ever. From fashion to scent, female friendships to menopause, this episode goes deep and wide. Key Takeaways Reinvention isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a midlife power move. Deep, supportive friendships are a pillar of health and longevity. Saying no is a powerful act of personal growth. Women thrive when they uplift each other, not tear each other down. Wellness and beauty are deeply intertwined. Believing in what you create matters, authenticity sells. Fashion is more than trend; it’s identity and expression. Scent shapes your aura and leaves a lasting impression. Cultural heritage informs ambition, values, and resilience. It’s time to break the silence around women’s health, including menopause.

The Vagina Coach: The Truth About Leaks, Prolapse and Pelvic Floor Power with Kim Vopni
What if you could take back control of your bladder, feel strong and supported from the inside out, and transform how you move through midlife, starting with your pelvic floor? This week, we’re going there. I’m joined by Kim Vopni, widely known as The Vagina Coach, a pioneer in pelvic health education, bestselling author, and founder of the Buff Muff Method. We break the silence around issues like incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain, topics often brushed off or suffered through in silence. Kim shares why pelvic health is central to longevity, energy, and confidence, and how women can ditch the shame and start healing. We talk about why Kegels are not a one-size-fits-all solution, the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic pelvic floors, and why habits like straining or skipping water can quietly sabotage your core. If you’ve ever leaked while laughing, or quietly wondered if what you're feeling is normal, this episode is your permission slip to ask questions, get answers, and reclaim your pelvic power. Key Takeaways: Pelvic health is essential for midlife vitality and long-term wellness Leakage, urgency, prolapse, and pain are common—but not inevitable Kegels aren’t a universal solution; some women need relaxation, not just strength Professional pelvic health evaluations are game-changing Constipation, dehydration and bathroom habits directly affect pelvic floor health Your feet and posture influence your pelvic alignment Education around pelvic health should start earlier and happen more often Shame and silence are the biggest barriers to healing Chapter Stamps: 00:00 – Introduction to The Vagina Coach02:34 – Understanding Pelvic Health and Longevity05:38 – The Importance of Pelvic Health in Ageing08:12 – Debunking Myths Around Pelvic Health11:08 – Common Pelvic Health Issues and Their Solutions13:53 – The Role of Kegels and Pelvic Floor Exercises16:34 – Understanding Hypertonic Pelvic Floors19:22 – The Importance of Professional Evaluation22:15 – Practical Tips for Pelvic Health25:01 – Addressing Taboo Topics in Women's Health27:47 – Conclusion and Resources for Pelvic Health Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/d0DsWExJdGcSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
