Embracing Change and Rediscovering Passion with Vicki Larson

The Knitty Gritty Podcast with Melissa and Susie

Who said age should slow us down?

In this episode, we shatter the myth that women lose interest in sex as they age and flip the script on what it means to embrace pleasure. Turns out, some women have never experienced the joy of mind-blowing passion which leads them to perhaps be less interested. We also expose the historical neglect of women's sexual health and throw a spotlight on the slow progress in celebrating women in their prime.
We’re not too old to do many things, especially when taking control of our financial destinies. Join Vicki as she shares some shocking facts about women who age into poverty and why it is important to learn about money now.
We're not only opening up the conversation about sexual health and finances. We also dive into the importance of friendships and the support that comes with strong female bonds. Who run the world? You guessed it—women who love and uplift each other!
And as if that wasn't enough, we've got the lowdown on menopause—those hot flashes and wild mood swings. Let's be real, ladies, it's time we demanded better healthcare support during this rollercoaster ride. We're shattering taboos and leaving no topic untouched!
We wrap up this outrageously empowering episode with a celebration of aging fabulously. The tides are turning, and we're here for it! Confidence, beauty, and vitality have no age limit. Say goodbye to society's narrow expectations and hello to a world where women in their sixties are rocking it like never before.
So, grab a glass of wine, sit back, and join us on this wild, no-holds-barred journey of pleasure, power, and embracing life on our own terms. It's time to rewrite the rules, my friends!
