1013. The Truth About Women’s Sex Drives

Dr. Jolene Brighten joins this Microdose for an honest conversation about women’s libido,  hormones, and the myths we’ve been taught about sex. From emotional safety + nervous system to desire and intimacy, this episode reframes what women think is “wrong” with them. Dr. Brighten unpacks the pressure women feel to “fix” themselves and why women’s bodies need safety, support, and emotional connection to fully open sexually. If you’ve ever struggled with libido or feeling disconnected from your body, this conversation will feel deeply validating.
