At Tula Wellness, we believe women’s health must include the whole woman—body, hormones, mind, and intimacy. That means we talk openly about topics that have historically been minimized, misunderstood, or avoided altogether.
One of those topics is pleasure.
In the latest episode of Stay Juicy, Dr. Arianna sits down with Maureen Pollack, founder of Lovabilityinc and creator of the Waterslyde, for a thoughtful, evidence-informed conversation about women’s sensual power, desire across the lifespan, and why self-connection is an essential part of wellness—especially in midlife.
This conversation isn’t about shock value.
It’s about reclaiming truth.
Pleasure Is Not a Luxury—It’s Part of Health
For generations, women have been taught—directly or indirectly—that pleasure is indulgent, unnecessary, or even inappropriate. But when we look at women’s health through a modern, integrative lens, pleasure becomes something else entirely.
Pleasure is information.
It tells us about our nervous system, our boundaries, our sense of safety, and our ability to be present in our bodies. When women feel disconnected from their bodies, it can show up as low desire, fatigue, emotional blunting, or dissatisfaction—especially during midlife transitions.
Reconnecting with pleasure can support:
- Body awareness and confidence
- Stress regulation and nervous system balance
- Emotional intimacy and self-trust
- A more empowered relationship with aging
Desire Doesn’t Disappear With Age—It Evolves
One of the most persistent myths about women’s sexuality is that desire fades irreversibly with age. In reality, many women experience a shift—not a loss—of desire in midlife.
What often disappears is permission.
Permission to explore, to prioritize pleasure, to understand one’s body without shame. When women are given accurate information and supportive care, desire can evolve into something deeper, more embodied, and more intentional.
This episode of Stay Juicy explores exactly that evolution.
