S*x and menopause- it’s a topic wrapped in silence and stigma.

But the truth is: s*x does change through menopause… and that doesn’t mean it’s over.

Menopause can bring:
✨ Vaginal dryness
✨ Changes in desire
✨ Shifts in arousal
✨ Pain or discomfort
✨ Emotional and identity transitions

But it can also bring:
🌿 A deeper connection with your body
🌿 The end of performative s*x
🌿 Clarity on what you want- and don’t
🌿 The beginning of s*x on your terms

You are allowed to grieve the changes.
And you are also allowed to reclaim s*x, pleasure, and intimacy in new, nourishing ways.

Menopause isn’t the end of your s*xual self- it’s a transformation.

Seeking support from a Certified S*x Therapist can be a valuable step in your transformative relationship to s*x throughout menopause.

Using the right products (like The Pleasure Pods for addressing vaginal dryness) can be too!

Allow yourself permission to let menopause be the s*xual debut you deserve.

✨ When brilliance meets inspiration! ✨

It was such a privilege to meet the incredible Dr. Tara of .co yesterday at the Stimulate Show! 💫 She openly shared her insights and secrets on building a brand on social media—so inspiring and full of wisdom. 🙌

Her new book “How Do You Like It?” is coming soon, and trust me, you’ll want to check it out! 📖💥

S*xual shame is quiet- but heavy.

It lives in the parts of us that flinch, shut down, or go silent.

It tells us that our desires are too much, our boundaries not enough, and our bodies somehow wrong.

But here’s the truth:

🖤 Shame is not yours to carry.
It’s passed down through trauma, culture, religious scripts, and silence.

🖤 You are allowed to be curious.
To ask questions, to take up space, to want more, or less.

🖤 Healing from s*xual shame is possible.
It starts with gentleness. With naming it. With knowing you’re not alone.

You are worthy of a relationship to s*x, pleasure, and your body that feels rooted in truth- not shame.

✨ Save this post if you need the reminder.

🖤 Follow for more on healing shame, exploring s*xuality, and reconnecting with your s*xual self.

🏆 WE'VE BEEN NOMINATED! 🏆

I'm beyond excited (and honestly a little emotional) to share that Pleasure Pods has been nominated for the CHFA Trailblazer Small Business Award!

This award spotlights promising newcomers in the natural, organic, and wellness industry—recognizing businesses like ours that have been operational for less than five years and are making waves with innovation and leadership.

Here's what makes this extra special: CHFA is primarily made up of food, beverage, and supplement brands. To see our intimate wellness and skincare products standing alongside these incredible companies? That speaks volumes about how far we've come in legitimizing the menopause category.

I'm genuinely proud of how far we've traveled on this journey. From those early days of explaining why menopausal women need specialized products, to now being recognized by one of Canada's most respected health associations—it feels surreal.

To everyone who's been following our entrepreneurial roller coaster—THANK YOU. Your support, shares, comments, and belief in our mission have gotten us here. You've been part of building something that didn't exist before.

This nomination isn't just ours—it belongs to every woman who's been brave enough to talk about menopause, every retailer who took a chance on our category, and every follower who believed in what we're building.

Here's to breaking barriers, one award nomination at a time! 💪
