113. Pleasure Doesn't Age at Midlife with Penny van der Sluys

Women got sold the idea that pleasure has an expiry date. That once you hit midlife, menopause, or "a certain age" that part of you just quietly switches off. Penny van der Sluys is here to call that what it is: a lie. In this episode, Penny shares how she went from working in psychology and HR to becoming a pleasure activist and what she's learned about desire, aliveness, and the female body along the way. Because pleasure isn't something we lose with age. It's life force energy. And it's available to us at every single stage, if we know how to reconnect to it. We get into why so many of us were never taught about our own bodies, why female pleasure still gets treated as an afterthought, and the difference between responsive and spontaneous desire (this one's a game-changer if you've ever thought something was "wrong" with you). Penny also shares the simple, practical ways to start coming home to yourself, small daily check-ins, removing what drains you, and reconnecting to what actually makes you feel alive. Midlife isn't the end of anything. It might just be the beginning of the most connected, alive version of you yet. Have a listen, girlfriend. 🌸Connect with Penny van der Sluys📲@pennyvandersluyshttps://pennyvandersluys.com/ --------------------------------------   🩷Connect with our host: Katelin Vincent 🧡📲 @yougogirlfriend_ https://www.yougogirlfriend.com.au/ -------------------------------------- 💛 Sponsor Love 💃🏻 That’s The Spot Luxe pleasure gifts.
