## Resource

&lt;p&gt;Let’s talk about what &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; happens to your sex life after 40.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this raw and refreshing episode, Michele sits down with &lt;strong&gt;Jane Hammond&lt;/strong&gt;, Sexual Health Educator and intimacy coach, to dismantle the outdated narratives around female pleasure, libido, and what it means to feel &lt;em&gt;turned on&lt;/em&gt;—in every sense of the word.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We cover:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why low libido is more common than you think (and what’s actually behind it)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How hormones, trauma, stress, and metabolism shape your sex drive&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The difference between &lt;strong&gt;desire vs arousal&lt;/strong&gt; (this alone will change how you view “low sex drive”)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What’s &lt;em&gt;normal&lt;/em&gt; vs what’s &lt;em&gt;treatable&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why midlife is the &lt;strong&gt;best time&lt;/strong&gt; to reclaim your sexual confidence&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;And how to spark intimacy again—whether you&amp;#39;re in a long-term relationship or flying solo&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This episode is for the woman who’s felt disconnected from her body, her partner, or her passion—and wants to feel ALIVE again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⚡Hit play. Your sexual reawakening starts here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don&amp;#39;t forget to leave a review or a rating so more women like you can find my podcast!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMPORTANT LINKS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Subscribe to ⁠&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/@michelescarlet_&quot; target=&q…
