Reigniting Desire: A Conversation with Allie Thiess

The Menowave Lounge: Hot Flashes and Cool Conversations Podcast

In this episode of The Menowave Lounge: Hot Flashes and Cool Conversations…
Host Robin Duke dives deep into one of the most intimate (and often unspoken) aspects of menopause: sex.

She’s joined by Coach Allie Thiess — board-certified sexologist, integrative wellness coach, and founder of The Passion Zone — who helps women in midlife and beyond reignite their desire and reconnect with their sensual selves.

With wisdom, warmth, and just the right dose of humor, Coach Allie invites us to stop viewing menopause as the end of intimacy — and start seeing it as a powerful reawakening. From hormone truths to bedroom tips, this conversation is your permission slip to reclaim your pleasure.

In This Episode, We Explore:
Why libido dips — and how to bring it back with compassion, not shame
The emotional and energetic blocks that impact desire (and how to clear them)
Creating a “romance routine” — from candles and music to mindset shifts
Talking to your partner with honesty, clarity, and love
Sex furniture, angry vaginas, and why lubrication is self-care
Rewriting your intimate story for this next, empowered chapter

Coach Allie reminds us: You’re not broken — you’re evolving. Midlife isn’t the end of your sex life… it might just be the most connected and conscious chapter yet.
