Description

Ever felt like you’d rather fold laundry than have sex? You’re not broken—your body and brain are just asking for something different. 

In this episode, Allison dives into the real reasons women struggle with low libido—and why it has nothing to do with being “broken” or not loving your partner. From hormone fluctuations and stress to body image, pelvic floor pain, and communication breakdowns, she unpacks the messy, layered truth about desire. You’ll learn why most women experience responsive rather than spontaneous desire, how to set yourself up for intimacy that actually feels good, and the practical rituals that can help you reconnect with your body and your partner.

 Tune in to hear:

• Why desire is often responsive for women and how to work with it
• How hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone—and cortisol—impact libido
• The role of stress, body image, and pelvic floor pain in lowering desire
• Why low libido doesn’t mean you don’t love your partner
• Tips to boost desire: scheduling intimacy, foreplay, fantasy, and rituals
• How to use communication (and solo exploration) to spark more connection
• Why dancing, breathwork, and self-touch can reset your desire
