Title: Erotic Wholeness After 40 with Darshana Avila

Summary If you’ve ever thought, “We’re solid… so why don’t I want sex?” this episode is your gentle reframe. Carrie talks with erotic wholeness guide Darshana Avila about rebuilding intimacy from the inside out—starting with nervous-system tenderness, expanding consent language, and redefining sex as life-force energy that fuels creativity, leadership, and joy. Especially resonant for women and non-binary folks navigating perimenopause/menopause, body changes, and the desire to feel at home in your skin.

In this episode

• What “erotic wholeness” means (beyond the bedroom)
• Why midlife is the perfect season to stop performing and start choosing
• Practical first steps: relaxation, consent vocabulary, touch experiments
• Communicating preferences after years together
• Talking with teens about consent & pleasure without fear-mongering
