194. The Messy Middle and the Impossible Intimacy Game

Starting this podcast was my way of saying, "I’m done playing by the rules," and sharing my journey with all of you. Which is why I wanted to shift the focus to a powerful concept of “giving your last fuck”. This isn't about sexual intimacy or specific acts - it's about living boldly and authentically, on your own terms. Midlife brings a newfound freedom, where the expectations and judgments of others start to fade, leaving us with the most important question: Are you truly happy?   Tune in to this final episode as we dive into how you can live your fullest life - authentically and unapologetically. We’ll explore how to trust your intuition, prioritize your own happiness, and disregard the societal rules that were designed to keep us small. This is your moment, your second half of life, and I’m here to celebrate it with you. Let’s make it count.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://soniawrightmd.com/200

Happy Pride Month, my Diamonds! As we celebrate love and diversity this June, I'd like to explore the topics of self-acceptance, sexual orientation and what it means to come out - especially in the later part of your life.   Many people experience a 'late bloom', or what is also called Late Onset Lesbianism.
