    The Truth About Long-Term Sexual Sustainability | EcoPreneur's Edge

    What if your low libido isn’t “just aging”—but hormones, medication, stress, or emotional disconnect? In this Sexual Sustainability episode of the What the Nell!? Podcast, the EcoPreneur's Edge edition, Nell and Mikee have an unfiltered, deeply human conversation about consent, medication side effects, emotional connection, ethical non-monogamy, and what it really takes to keep desire alive over decades—not just seasons. We explore how libido changes across decades, how birth control and preventative medications can silently impact mental health and desire, and why emotional trust may matter more than frequency. From navigating hormones in your 30s and 40s to redefining intimacy, consent, and connection, this episode reframes sexuality as part of whole-life wellness—physical, emotional, and relational. Whether you’re single, partnered, child-free, monogamous, or exploring new dynamics, this conversation offers clarity without shame and honesty without hype. **This episode includes candid discussion of mental health experiences, including intrusive or distressing thoughts that may feel alarming or overwhelming. While these conversations are shared to reduce stigma and increase awareness, they may be triggering for some listeners. If you experience thoughts about harming yourself or feel unsafe at any point, please pause the episode and reach out for immediate support. You deserve help, and support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you are outside the U.S., please contact your local emergency number or a trusted mental health professional. Listening to this episode is not a substitute for professional care, and seeking help is a sign of strength—not failure.** 00:00 Introduction to Sexual Sustainability 00:53 Diving into Sexual Sustainability 03:17 The Importance of Consent and Physical Health 05:56 Personal Stories and Experiences with Birth Control 12:48 Navigating Sexual Health in Relationships 19:27 The Impact of Medication on Mental and Sexual Health 25:29 Exploring Low Libido and Medication Effects 27:48 Building Trust in Relationships 31:20 Understanding Demisexuality 37:04 Keeping the Spark Alive 39:08 Open-Mindedness and Ethical Non-Monogamy 42:38 Striving for Personal and Relationship Growth 46:28 Concluding Thoughts and Future Plans CONNECT WITH MIKEE: https://linktr.ee/Metromikee?fbclid=IwY2xjawElovdleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHai92-qRTCtEdJoMFbygQS9wCZFwucuhEP-f8N6l8yBGp5GvPwt66f1T_A_aem_djwcfRMBzKyHAU9Xt6Bnug Connect with us: What the Nell!?

    Overnight Success Takes 25 Years: The Real Business of Releasing Music with Greg Mihaly

    Everyone wants the moment — few are willing to survive the years it takes to earn it. In this episode of What the Nell!? Podcast, Nell sits down with friend and Trop Rock artist Greg Mihaly to break down the real story behind “overnight success,” the unseen business of releasing music, and why most artists may not make it before the music ever has a chance to work. Greg Mihaly has been making music professionally for 30 years and only now are many people discovering his work. In this candid, no-BS conversation, Greg opens up on what actually goes into releasing music as an independent artist: distributors, royalties, featured artists vs. co-writes, playlisting, and why hype before a release doesn’t always matter. They also dive into Greg’s upcoming single “Here Comes the Sun” featuring Alan Jax Bowers, the creative process behind the collaboration, and why momentum is built after the release, not before it. This episode is a must-listen for musicians, podcasters, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are tired of surface-level advice and want to understand what longevity really looks like.
