About this listen

Sexy After 50 is the podcast for women over 50 who are done pretending they don’t miss feeling turned on, confident, and alive in their bodies.


If sex feels confusing, inconsistent, painful, or nonexistent…
If your desire disappeared and no one explained why…
If you’re tired of being told it’s “just hormones” or that this is “normal aging”…

You’re in the right place.


I’m Dr. Juls, licensed therapist, nervous-system specialist, and midlife expert—and this show is about waking up what never left.


Each episode explores how intimacy, sex, pleasure, and desire after 50 are shaped not just by hormones, but by your nervous system, stress load, emotional labor, body confidence, and lived experience. We go beneath surface-level sex tips and into somatic healing, feminine energy reconnection, and nervous-system regulation so your body can feel safe enough to want again.


This is for women navigating:
• Low libido
• Painful or disconnected sex
• Sexless marriage or mismatched desire
• Weight gain and body shame
• Hormonal changes
• Feeling invisible, unwanted, or alone


Sexy After 50 shows you how to rebuild pleasure, emotional connection, intimacy, and confidence—without forcing yourself, fixing yourself, or faking desire.


Because your fire never left.

It went into protection.


And we’re waking it up—gently, powerfully, and on your terms.


If your body is saying, “Yes—this is what I’ve been needing to hear,”
download the Desire & Fire Reset—a free nervous-system practice designed to bring intimacy and desire back from shutdown.

  • Bedroom Boredom to Sexual Hunger: The Erotic Menu Your Body Has Been Craving
    Feb 4 2026

    You’re not bored with sex.
    You’re bored with the same sex.

    And your body knows the difference between repetition and eroticism—even if no one ever taught you how to name it.

    If intimacy feels predictable, passion feels flat, and sex has quietly turned into choreography instead of craving, this episode will change how you understand desire forever.

    Bedroom boredom isn’t a relationship failure.
    It’s erotic habituation.

    Your nervous system is wired for novelty, curiosity, and sensation—but most long-term couples repeat the same sexual script for years and then wonder why desire disappears.

    This is especially true for women over 50, who were never taught how to lead with sensation, sovereignty, or nervous-system arousal—only performance, accommodation, and “keeping the peace.”

    In this episode, I dismantle the myth that passion fades with time and show you what actually reignites sexual hunger at any age.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • Why predictable sex kills desire—and why this has nothing to do with love, attraction, or commitment
    • The neuroscience of erotic habituation and why your brain flatlines when sex becomes scripted
    • The Sensation Menu Framework, a radically different way to approach intimacy that wakes up dormant nerve pathways
    • Why most couples are using only 10% of their erotic capacity
    • How novelty—not frequency—is the real cure for a sexless or bored marriage
    • The Silk Road Script, a communication tool that introduces new experiences without blame or defensiveness
    • The 72-Hour Intimacy Reset, a counterintuitive practice that reignites desire by deleting the old script
    • Why erotic sovereignty—not compliance—is the missing ingredient in lasting passion

    This episode is for women who don’t want obligation sex, polite sex, or performative sex anymore.

    You want hungry sex.
    And your body remembers how.

    If this episode stirred something in you, don’t dismiss it.

    Try the 72-Hour Intimacy Reset this week.
    Start ordering from the full Sensation Menu.
    And begin practicing erotic sovereignty—naming what your body wants now, not what worked twenty years ago.

    If one woman came to mind while listening, send this episode to her.
    This is the conversation women over 50 were never invited into—and it’s time.

    You’re not bored.
    You’re starving.

    And it’s time to feast.

    Sexy After 50 is a podcast for women over 50 navigating intimacy struggles, low libido, hormonal changes, weight gain, and feeling disconnected or alone, offering nervous system–based somatic healing, feminine energy reconnection, and sexual healing to restore pleasure, desire, emotional connection, and confidence after painful sex, sexless marriage experiences, or years of feeling unwanted or ashamed.

    They lied. Your desire didn't disappear—it went underground.

    The medical establishment would rather prescribe pills than tell you the truth: You're not broken. You're bored.

    Women over 50 aren't "post-desire." You're Pre-Revolution.

    The Desire & Fire Reset™ is a 72-hour erotic awakening for women who refuse to be dismissed, dimmed, or told their fire has an expiration date.

  • Sex After Invisibility: Why You're About to Have the Most Intimate, Orgasmic Decade of Your Life
    Jan 28 2026

    The year you became invisible to men on the street is the year your body became capable of pleasure you couldn’t access at twenty-five.

    If you’re a woman over 50 who feels dismissed, overlooked, or disconnected from desire, this episode flips the cultural lie about aging and sex—and explains why your nervous system is finally primed for deeper intimacy, stronger orgasms, and real embodiment.

    You’re not declining.
    You’re upgrading.

    In this episode of Sexy After 50, I explain why most women were neurologically blocked from deep pleasure earlier in life—and why post-menopause creates the exact conditions required for full-body, emotionally connected sex.

    You’ll learn how decades of performance, visibility, and self-monitoring kept your nervous system in survival mode, why arousal and hypervigilance cannot coexist, and how aging out of sexual surveillance creates unprecedented erotic freedom.

    This episode weaves neuroscience, psychology, and somatic insight to explain what’s actually happening in your brain, pelvis, and nervous system after 50.

    By the end of this episode, you’ll understand:

    • Why post-menopausal brains are wired for deeper, longer, more sustained orgasms
    • How “erotic invisibility” reduces cortisol and increases oxytocin, creating nervous-system safety for intimacy
    • Why sensation-based sexuality replaces performance-based sexuality after 50
    • How pelvic floor awareness—not tightening—dramatically increases arousal
    • Why presence, not technique, is the foundation of satisfying sex and emotional connection

    If sex has felt mechanical, obligatory, or absent, this episode explains why—and why that chapter is closing.

    This episode reframes aging, desire, and intimacy through the body rather than appearance—offering a radically different understanding of sex after 50 rooted in nervous system regulation, embodiment, and sensation.

    Sexy After 50 is a podcast for women over 50 navigating low libido, sexless marriage, intimacy struggles, hormonal changes, and feeling invisible or disconnected, offering nervous system–based somatic healing, embodied sexuality, emotional connection, and pleasure-focused practices to restore desire, confidence, and intimacy.

    You were over-observed.

    And now—for the first time in your adult life—your body is finally yours to feel.

    They lied. Your desire didn't disappear—it went underground.

    The medical establishment would rather prescribe pills than tell you the truth: You're not broken. You're bored.

  • Bedroom Boredom After 50: How to Ask for What You Want Without Killing the Mood
    Jan 21 2026

    You’re confident everywhere else in your life.
    But when it comes to sex, you go quiet.

    If you’re a woman over 50 feeling bored, disconnected, or unsatisfied in bed—and terrified to ask for what you want—this episode names exactly why.

    Your desire didn’t disappear.
    Your voice shut down.

    In this episode of Sexy After 50, I explain why so many capable, accomplished women struggle to speak up about sex, even in long-term relationships—and how that silence quietly leads to:

    • Low libido
    • Sexless or routine intimacy
    • Emotional disconnection
    • Shame around desire and pleasure

    You’ll learn how nervous system conditioning, fear of rejection, and a blocked throat chakra make sexual communication feel unsafe—no matter how loving your partner is.

    This is not about techniques or tips.
    It’s about why your body freezes when it’s time to speak.

    By the end of this episode, you’ll understand:

    • Why women who communicate sexual needs report 58% higher sexual satisfaction
    • Why hoping your partner will “just know” keeps intimacy stuck
    • Why sexual conversations must happen outside the bedroom
    • The exact Sandwich Script that lets you ask for more foreplay, slower sex, or something new—without blame, awkwardness, or shame

    If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want to hurt his feelings” or “It’s too late to change things now,” this episode explains what’s really happening—and what actually works.

    Listen now and learn how to speak your desires with clarity, safety, and confidence.

    SHARE THIS EPISODE

    If this episode made you think “This explains exactly how I feel,” share it with a woman who needs her voice back.

    Your desire isn’t too much.
    And it’s not too late.
