146 - Sexy and Spiritual in Menopause: Lisa Fitzpatrick on Reclaiming Your Sensuality and Sovereignty in Midlife

Menopause, midlife desire, and reclaiming your erotic power — this episode is a masterclass in seeing menopause not as decline, but as spiritual initiation. Pelvic and sexual health educator Lisa Fitzpatrick joins Amy Wilkinson to unpack the science and soul of midlife desire, and why the years everyone fears might be the most powerful of a woman's life.

Lisa was a physiotherapist, feminine empowerment coach, and pelvic health expert — until her own body and heart brought her to her knees. Three months into menopause, her fiancé of nine years left her for a woman 20 years younger. What followed was a dark night of the soul that cracked open everything she thought she knew about worth, power, and eroticism.

In this conversation, Lisa and Amy explore menopause as a ten-year initiation — a "medicine of subtraction" that strips away everything inauthentic and makes way for a woman's deepest spiritual power. They talk about why women in their 40s and 50s are statistically the most likely to divorce or consider suicide — and why women in their 60s and 70s are statistically the happiest and most fulfilled they've ever been.

You'll hear about:

• Why menopausal symptoms are messengers, not malfunctions
• The link between outsourcing your worth and physical/hormonal distress
• Reclaiming sensuality and sexuality as spiritual power, not something that expires
• Learning to receive after a lifetime of giving
• Lisa's dark night of the soul — and the "divine rescue" she now sees in it
