## Resource

What I Discussed With Dr. Kelly Barron... - How chocolate and sex have always been linked, and the herbs Kelly uses to make that connection real. - Why menopause changes my sex life without ending it, and what "designing a new sexual life" actually means. - The physical and emotional signs that show up when I feel disconnected from my own body at this stage of life. - Why so many women assume there must be a pill for low libido, when the real fix starts with removing pressure and giving myself grace. - The generational silence around sex after 50, and why celebrities like Madonna never talk about what's really going on. - What responsive desire is, and why it takes longer to get in the mood now than it did in my 40s. - Why scheduling sex and building rituals makes intimacy better, not less exciting. - The lingerie storytelling moment that taught me how anticipation can transform a night.
