Reclaiming Sensuality and Beauty in Menopause | Wren Morrow

In this episode, I am joined by the incredibly talented outdoor boudoir photographer, Wren Morrow, to explore the powerful concept of decolonizing desire and reclaiming our personal autonomy during the transition into perimenopause and menopause.We dive deep into how societal beauty standards are often "crafted in boardrooms" to keep women in a state of lack, and how we can break free by returning to the wisdom of our own bodies.Wren shares her unique philosophy on photography as an "experience-focused" portal to freedom, helping women move from "performing" beauty to authentically embodying genuine joy and unfiltered delight.We unpack the "fierce awakening" that occurs in midlife as life force energy is finally redirected from caretaking others back toward the self. I also break down why hormone replacement is a vital step in maintaining a "libido for life," while Wren explains how her collaborative process with nature alchemizes past "shadows" into a deep lack of self-consciousness.Ready to reclaim your sensuality?
