Emma Watts, The Menopause Mentor, explores one of the least talked about — yet most emotionally challenging — symptoms of perimenopause and menopause: loss of libido.

In this episode, Emma gently unpacks why desire can suddenly drop, what’s really happening hormonally, and how stress, fatigue, body confidence and everyday overwhelm all quietly play a role. With honesty, compassion and her trademark down-to-earth approach, she reassures listeners that this is common, normal — and absolutely not a personal failing.

Emma shares practical, realistic strategies to help reconnect with your body, rebuild intimacy (with yourself first), and create the right conditions for desire to return — without pressure, guilt or forced fixes.

Listeners will learn:

• How changing hormones affect arousal, sensitivity and desire

• Why libido isn’t just physical — it’s emotional and nervous-system driven too

• The impact of stress, sleep and self-image on intimacy

• Simple ways to support libido naturally during midlife

• Why connection matters more than performance

This episode is supportive, empowering and deeply reassuring — helping women understand their changing bodies and reminding them they are not broken.
