Pleasure & The Pause: Cultivating Pleasure During Peri/Menopause

Guest Expert:

  • Sarah Tomchesson – Certified Sex Educator, Embodied Intimacy Coach, Director of Marketing for Magic Wand, Vice Chair of SIECUS (Sex Ed for Social Change)

Overview
Pleasure isn’t a luxury—it’s a vital part of wellbeing. In this thoughtful and practical conversation, Leah and Cass, co-founders of Intimate Wellbeing, talk with Sarah Tomchesson about how to maintain and even rediscover pleasure during peri/menopause. You’ll explore how your body, desires, and arousal patterns change over time—and learn how to navigate those shifts with confidence and curiosity.

You’ll Discover:

  • The Stages of Sexuality – how our relationship with our bodies evolves through life, with a focus on the peri/menopausal years

  • Hormonal changes explained – how shifts in estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone impact vaginal health, libido, and energy

  • Desire vs. arousal – understanding the difference and how to nurture both during hormonal transition

  • Contextual desire – how accelerators and brakes influence arousal, and why pleasure in midlife is about more than the old PIV model

Why Watch?
If you want to understand your changing body, manage symptoms, and embrace intimacy on your own terms, this episode gives you the tools and insights to make it happen.

I put off listening to this for weeks because I figured it'd be awkward, but Sarah Tomchesson talks about pleasure during perimenopause in a way that's warm and completely frank.
