Want a better sex life? Sexual health expert Dr. Maria Sophocles helps us amp up our orgasms and sex life with ideas for closing the “midlife bedroom gap” and managing what can get in the way of pleasure—think painful sex, low and mismatched libido, and vaginas that have morphed from “Nordstrom to Ikea” in midlife. We cover actionable ideas to boost lubrication, the role of HRT, sex toys, and steamy audio erotica. Plus, ideas for rewiring your brain to become a “sexual savings account” ready for spontaneous withdrawals. Hot tamale alert! This extra spicy show is the adult sex ed no one teaches you!

Get a straight-talk, science-backed look behind the latest buzzy menopause headlines on a new study that finds that the overall health benefits of HRT outweigh the risks. What does this new study mean for you? This week on the podcast, leading women’s health expert Dr. Jessica Shepherd (you know her from GMA and The Today Show) unpacks the headlines and gives us the 411 on HRT—what it is, how it works, and at what age and stage you can best benefit. We also get into hormone myth-busting, explore who is (and who is not) a candidate, and dive into options beyond HRT for women looking for a more expansive meno care toolkit. Fast-paced, informative, and actionable, this show is a do-not-miss!

Have you tried and failed to make a mindfulness habit stick? Many of us are attracted to the benefits of mindfulness—stress-busting, a sense of calm and centeredness, and a sharper awareness of wonder. But making the practice stick? Tricky. In this episode, we explore a simple daily mindfulness practice that anyone can begin using immediately to access the benefits of mindfulness and unlock more joy in their daily life. In this episode, Katie is joined by Deborah Huber, co-author of “Today I Noticed: A Little Book of Mindfulness That Will Change the Way You See the World.” We uncover the difference between meditation and mindfulness, explore how mindfulness can offer life lessons from the grocery store checkout line, and why a regular mindfulness practice lets you experience daily life as new and novel, even as you tread familiar territory.
