275. Reclaiming Desire: God, Intimacy & the Sacred Spark of Midlife

 April 08, 2025


 

This one’s tender. And real. And maybe a little awkward for our podcast editor (hi, Emme 👋), but it’s a conversation that needs to be had—especially for women of faith navigating midlife.

In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Edie invites us to reclaim a part of ourselves that’s often hidden, ignored, or burdened with shame: our God-given sexuality. 💛

From shifting hormones to emotional fatigue, many women find themselves disconnected—from their bodies, their spouses, and even from desire itself. But what if desire isn’t something that just happens—what if it’s something we can create on purpose?

In this soul-stirring talk, you’ll learn:

✨ Why your sexuality isn’t shameful—it’s sacred
✨ How desire is connected to creativity, joy, and purpose
✨ Ways to cultivate intimacy and connection with your spouse
✨ Why appreciation, curiosity, and playfulness matter
✨ How to embrace this part of your identity with grace, power, and freedom

This is about more than physical connection—it’s about waking up to the full, radiant woman God made you to be. It's about reclaiming desire as a holy, vibrant part of your wholeness.

So grab your coffee, your journal, and maybe your earbuds (😉) and listen in. Your aliveness matters. You were made for connection.
