About this listen

Join Brian Crombie for a candid and deeply insightful conversation with Camille Lawson, women’s health expert, hormone educator, and relationship counselor. Millions of couples experience changes in intimacy during midlife — but few talk about the real drivers:

Hormonal shifts
Chronic stress and elevated cortisol
Sleep disruption
Changing sexual desire
Emotional misinterpretation

Is loss of intimacy always psychological — or sometimes biochemical? Camille explains how fluctuating estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol affect:

Mood and anxiety
Attachment patterns
Reactivity and conflict
Sexual desire and responsiveness
Emotional connection

We dive into how chronic stress alters blood flow, hormones, and sleep — all measurable pathways that directly impact intimacy for both men and women. Relationship Psychology Insights:

Spontaneous desire often shifts to responsive desire
Stress amplifies misinterpretation
Exhaustion can be mistaken for rejection
Hormonal shifts may be mistaken for loss of attraction

Midlife doesn’t have to mean decline — it can be a recalibration if couples understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
