🎙️ Hi, I’m Maria Angelova, and welcome back to the Mind Body Podcast!
In this empowering and fun episode, I sit down with Amy Rowan, Board Certified Sexologist, speaker, intimacy coach, and podcast host. Known as the “Suburban Sexologist,” Amy helps women and couples break through shame, build confidence, and reconnect with pleasure. We talk real about desire, menopause, painful sex, orgasms, body image, emotional labor, and what healthy intimacy really looks like.

✨ What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
💬 Real Talk on Desire: Why women lose the spark — and how to get it back

🔥 Redefining Sexual Intimacy: It's not just about orgasms
🌈 Perimenopause, Pain & Pleasure: Navigating change with grace

💡 Key Takeaways:

✅ Men need sex to feel loved. Women need to feel loved to want sex
