Description

Sexy After 50 is the podcast for women over 50 who are done pretending they don’t miss feeling turned on, confident, and alive in their bodies.


If sex feels confusing, inconsistent, painful, or nonexistent…
If your desire disappeared and no one explained why…
If you’re tired of being told it’s “just hormones” or that this is “normal aging”…

You’re in the right place.


I’m Dr. Juls, licensed therapist, nervous-system specialist, and midlife expert—and this show is about waking up what never left.


Each episode explores how intimacy, sex, pleasure, and desire after 50 are shaped not just by hormones, but by your nervous system, stress load, emotional labor, body confidence, and lived experience. We go beneath surface-level sex tips and into somatic healing, feminine energy reconnection, and nervous-system regulation so your body can feel safe enough to want again.


This is for women navigating:
 • Low libido
 • Painful or disconnected sex
 • Sexless marriage or mismatched desire
 • Weight gain and body shame
 • Hormonal changes
 • Feeling invisible, unwanted, or alone


Sexy After 50 shows you how to rebuild pleasure, emotional connection, intimacy, and confidence—without forcing yourself, fixing yourself, or faking desire.


Because your fire never left.

It went into protection.


And we’re waking it up—gently, powerfully, and on your terms.


If your body is saying, “Yes—this is what I’ve been needing to hear,”

What if your libido didn’t disappear? What if your body simply stopped tolerating sex that wasn’t good enough anymore? If you’ve been told you have “low libido” after 50—but the idea of obligation sex, rushed sex, or disconnected sex makes you shut down—this episode flips the entire narrative. Most women over 50 aren’t losing desire. They’re outgrowing mediocre intimacy. For decades, you were taught that libido should be spontaneous, automatic, and ever-available. That if you weren’t cr...
You’re not bored with sex. You’re bored with the same sex. And your body knows the difference between repetition and eroticism—even if no one ever taught you how to name it. If intimacy feels predictable, passion feels flat, and sex has quietly turned into choreography instead of craving, this episode will change how you understand desire forever.

In this episode of Sexy After 50, I explain why so many capable, accomplished women struggle to speak up about sex, even in long-term relationships—and how that silence quietly leads to: Low libidoSexless or ro...
You’re not frigid. And you’re definitely not “just old now.” If you’re a woman over 50 who looks successful on the outside—but inside feels numb, disconnected, or quietly resentful of intimacy—this episode will stop you in your tracks. Because what’s killing your desire has nothing to do with lingerie, hormones alone, or “trying harder.” It’s your nervous system.

If you’ve started flinching when your partner reaches for you—not because you don’t love them, but because sex has started to hurt—this episode may save your intimacy. Painful sex after 50 isn’t rare. And it’s not “just menopause.” But it is something most women were never warned about. In this episode of Sexy After 50, I name the experience so many women silently endure: “sandpaper sex." Burning. Dryness. Pain. Avoidance. Shame. I explain what’s actually happening in your body, including: Ge...
Feeling numb below the waist? Your body isn't broken—it's protecting you. After decades of managing everyone else's needs, your nervous system has shut down the "pleasure center" to conserve energy. But here's what no one tells you: You can't think your way back to desire. You have to feel your way back. In this episode, I'm revealing the exact science behind why "trying harder" to want sex is the fastest way to kill your libido—and the 5-minute Somatic Desire Mapping practice that moves you ...
When was the last time you felt real desire? Not obligation. Not “I should want this.” But actual, embodied, I want you desire. If you can’t remember, this podcast is for you. For women over 50, low libido isn’t just about hormones. It’s about a nervous system that’s been stuck in survival mode for decades. Chronic stress, caregiving, professional responsibility, emotional labor, and burnout quietly shut down the body’s capacity for sex, intimacy, and pleasure. When your nervous system doesn’...
