When it comes to pleasure, most conversations fall into two categories: Sex gets worse after menopause Or Women in midlife are having the best sex of their lives.

But let’s be real, for a lot of us, orgasms do not come easily, especially through intercourse. Some of us weren’t taught how our bodies actually work. We learned to perform pleasure instead of feeling it. We faked it to fit in, to please, to protect and somewhere along the way, we stopped seeing our own sexual needs as sacred.

Then menopause shows up and everything we’ve quietly carried starts getting louder. The frustration. The pressure. The “I should be able to do this” stories.

Not because menopause took something...but because it finally asked us to pay attention.

This week inside the Menopause Love Lounge, we are having the conversation most women never get to have. We break down why orgasms shift in midlife, what is actually happening to your libido, and how pleasure can expand when you stop chasing a goal and start listening to your body. The ladies open up about desire changes, mental load, partner pressure, toys, lubrication, and the emotional layers that make climax feel complicated.

We talk about what is normal, what is solvable, and what is absolutely possible for women in their forties, fifties and beyond. You deserve pleasure that feels real, connected, honest and fully yours again.

Join us in the Lounge and be part of the conversation that every woman deserves but has never been invited to.

Welcome to the Menopause Love Lounge—where we get real, raw, and unapologetic about being a woman in midlife. We’re redefining intimacy, identity, and relationships—one juicy, unfiltered conversation at a time.

Share your experience in the comments. What has changed for you in midlife and what are you ready to reclaim?

Menopause is not killing the vibe. It is helping us choose better, love deeper, and date with more confidence than ever.

Some of us are dating again.

Some are redefining love inside long marriages.

And some have decided they’d rather sleep diagonally across the whole damn bed.

Menopause changes everything — our hormones, our confidence, our desires. But it also gives us permission to rewrite the rules.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to find, keep, or completely re imagine love in midlife — from dating apps and second chances to long-term intimacy that still sparks.

In this episode...

1. How can embracing "healthy selfishness" transform your dating life after 50?
2. What are the benefits of non-traditional relationships, like living apart together, for women over 50?
3. Why is it important to manage your energy and mindset when engaging in online dating?

And so much more...

DON'T FORGET TO TAKE OUR POLL:

If you're feeling the chemistry on the first date, do you go for the kiss or do you keep it classy and wait?

A. Kiss me now

B. Life's too short

C. Nope, let them earn it.

One day you’re fine, the next day you’re crying in Target — welcome to perimenopause.

Welcome to the Menopause Love Lounge, where we’re pulling back the curtain on the most confusing chapter of womanhood... perimenopause. This isn’t just hot flashes and mood swings; it’s a full-body plot twist that no one warned us about.

Join Andrea Knoche and her unapologetically real panel: Dawn Wiggins, Ozzy Osbourne, Junie Moon, Karen Viesta and Laurie Gerber, as they spill the truth about shifting hormones, wild symptoms, and the emotional roller coaster of midlife. From “WTF is happening to my body?” moments to why doctors still miss the signs, we’re breaking down the cultural confusion and calling out the medical gaslighting.

Plus, don’t miss our hilarious game of Friend, Therapist, or Doctor... because sometimes you just need to know which one to call first.

Raw. Real. Relatable. This episode will leave you laughing, nodding, and realizing you’re not losing it — you’re just in perimenopause.

🎙️ Tune in and reclaim your power, one hot flash at a time.

In this episode:

The WTF Moment That Started It All

We're kicking off the moment each of us knew our bodies had gone rogue - the meltdown, the midnight Google spiral, or the doctor's visit that left us more confused than when we walked in. Every woman has that first "Wait..is this menopause?! story" ...and yours might sound a lot like outs.

The Great Misdiagnosis Mystery”

Next, we will share this wild data we found — turns out it’s easier to get labeled with depression, anxiety, or thyroid issues than perimenopause. So why are women dismissed by the very system meant to help? And what happens to our confidence when every test says we’re ‘fine’ but our bodies scream otherwise?

The One Truth Every Woman Deserves to Know:

Before we wrap, we’re playing ‘Friend, Therapist, or Doctor?’—because half the time in perimenopause, you don’t know who to call. We’re sharing the moments that made us wonder, Is this hormones, heartbreak, or a medical emergency? Stay tuned to find out which ones had us texting a girlfriend, booking therapy, or speed-dialing urgent care.

And so much more...
