Have you come into your own as a midlife woman? Do you embrace the aging woman that you have become (even while desiring to change certain aspects of yourself) or are you on a continual mission to ‘keep up with the younger Joneses?’ Have you stepped into your sexuality and claimed it?

On this episode, I’m chatting with author, sex educator, speaker and sexual health writer, Walker Thornton. In this first of two episodes, we candidly discuss our sexuality as midlife women, feeling invisible, the way men view us and more. Tune in to this invigorating conversation as we touch on embracing — our bodies, our graying hair, ourselves. It isn’t about man-bashing . . . far from it. It’s about challenging who society says we’re supposed to be, how we’re supposed to behave and how we’re supposed to look as midlife women.
