In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, we’re exploring a topic that deserves more depth, nuance, and support: female libido. Low desire is often brushed off or misunderstood—but the truth is, your body is always speaking. And when it comes to libido, there’s usually more going on beneath the surface.

We’ll look at libido through the lens of emotional health, hormone balance, spiritual alignment, and nervous system support, and I’ll share what I’ve seen work (and what might be keeping you stuck).

Inside this episode, we’ll unpack:

• The connection between cortisol, oxytocin, and dopamine


• Why progesterone matters more than you think


• How resentment, overstimulation, and burnout can block desire


• The cyclical nature of libido and how to stop labeling it as “low”


• Practical steps to reconnect with your body and foster deeper intimacy


• Why sleep and a sense of safety are essential foundations for desire
  
  
  
  

This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a whole-self approach to helping you feel more alive, more connected, and more at peace in your body again.
