What happens when one of you wants more… and the other just doesn’t?
And no one knows how to talk about it without someone feeling rejected, pressured, or wrong.
In this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body, Kim explores one of the most common and least talked about, dynamics in long-term relationships: when desire feels like it’s flowing in only one direction.
This isn’t about blaming hormones.
It’s not about fixing anyone.
And it’s definitely not about trying harder.
It’s about understanding what’s really happening beneath the surface in your nervous system, your body, and your sense of safety.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
• Why mismatched desire is incredibly common, especially in midlife
• What wanting more is really about and what wanting less is really protecting
• How pressure quietly shuts desire down
• Why closeness and desire are not the same thing
• How to rebuild connection without begging, avoiding, or keeping score
Kim also guides you through two simple, powerful practices : The Desire Map and The Two Yeses Rule, to help you move out of frustration and back into understanding.
If desire has started to feel like a one way street in your relationship, this episode will help you slow down, get curious, and find your way back to each other — without force.
Listen in. Breathe. You’re not alone in this.

At what point did desire start feeling different for you?

Was it gradual, something that quietly faded into the background?
Or did you wake up one day and realize the spark you once recognized wasn’t showing up the same way anymore?

So many women in midlife ask themselves the same questions:
What’s my level of desire now?
Is this normal?
Is something wrong with me or is this just how it is from here on out?

In this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body, Kim Nicholson flips the entire conversation on its head.

Because desire doesn’t disappear in midlife... it changes how it shows up.
It becomes quieter. Slower. More subtle.
And most women miss it because they’re waiting for the version they remember instead of noticing the one that’s returning.

This episode explores what desire actually looks like now not in theory, not in movies, but in real life. You’ll learn how your nervous system plays a central role in bringing desire back online, why safety matters more than urgency, and how to recognize the early signs that something inside you is already shifting.

We talk about why forcing desire backfires, how pressure shuts it down, and why the slow return is not a failure it’s wisdom.

If you’ve ever wondered where your desire went, what level of desire is realistic in this season, or whether it will ever come back in a way that feels authentic to you — this conversation will bring clarity, relief, and hope.

Not because you need to fix yourself.
But because there’s more happening inside you than you’ve been taught to notice.

Why do you still miss someone — even when life has moved on?
Why does your chest tighten when you walk past a place you used to go together?
Why does a friendship fading, a marriage drifting, or a loved one’s death feel like your whole body is holding its breath?

In this episode of My Sexy Menopause Body, we’re getting honest about the kind of ache women rarely talk about — the ache of distance. Not just romantic distance, but the distance that comes from grief, breakups, emotional drift, strained friendships, and family relationships that don’t feel like home anymore.

And here’s the truth no one told us:
Your body misses people long before your mind understands why.

This episode uncovers the science behind that tender truth — how your nervous system literally codes in the people you love. Their voice, their laugh, their smell, the rhythm of their presence… all become part of your internal sense of safety. So when something shifts — whether they’re gone, drifting, or simply no longer showing up the way they used to — your body keeps reaching for them.

You’ll learn why the ache feels physical, why it lingers, and why it doesn’t mean you’re weak, broken, or “living in the past.”
It means you’re human.

And the most hopeful part?
If your nervous system learned connection once… it can learn it again.

Inside this episode, we’ll talk about:

• What actually happens inside your body when someone feels far away
• Why emotional distance hurts even when the relationship hasn’t ended
• How grief, drift, and heartbreak all activate the same biological pathways
• Why your body still looks for someone who’s no longer there
• The gentle, practical ways you can begin to rewire for safety, softness, and connection again

Whether you’re healing from loss, navigating distance in your marriage, missing an old friend, or simply trying to find your way back to yourself — this episode will help you understand the “why”… and give you hope for the “what now.”

Because love doesn’t disappear.
It changes shape — and your body can learn to feel safe again.
