Why You’re Not in the Mood (Hint: It’s Not Hormones—It’s Rage)

With Amanda Testa

🎙️ Episode 335: Why You’re Not in the Mood (Hint: It’s Not Hormones—It’s Rage)

Let’s talk about something that might be behind your low libido—and it’s probably not what you think.

It’s not your hormones.It’s not your age.It’s not your partner.

It’s rage.The rage that never had space to breathe.The swallowed boundaries.The silent “no” that never became a voiced “yes.”

In this week’s episode of the Find Your Feminine Fire podcast, I’m sharing why so many women feel disconnected from their desire—and how that disconnect is often rooted in repressed anger.

You’ll learn: ✨ How rage and erotic energy live in the same part of your nervous system ✨ Why feeling numb or “not in the mood” is often about suppressed emotion, not brokenness ✨ How chronic people-pleasing suffocates your sensuality ✨ The sacred role of anger—and how to work with it gently, without fear ✨ A simple practice to help you safely begin releasing stored rage and reconnect to pleasure

This episode isn’t about doing more. It’s about feeling what’s already there. And remembering: your turn-on isn’t gone. It’s just waiting for you to feel again.

From Empty Nest to Love-Fest: Reigniting the Spark After the Kids Fly

With Amanda Testa

🎙️ Episode 334: From Empty Nest to Love-Fest: Reigniting the Spark After the Kids Fly

The house is quiet. The calendars have cleared.And now that the kids are gone… you’re looking across the dinner table at your partner and wondering:

“Do we even know each other anymore?”If you’re in that space—navigating the empty nest season, feeling more like roommates than lovers, and craving connection—you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.

In fact, this next chapter could be the most turned-on, emotionally connected, and erotically alive time of your relationship—if you’re willing to shift how you see love, desire, and yourself.

In this week’s episode of the Find Your Feminine Fire podcast, I’m sharing a vulnerable and powerful invitation for couples in midlife to move from disconnection to deep reconnection—emotionally, energetically, and erotically.

Why emotional distance is normal in long-term relationships— and how to start reconnecting when you feel more like roommates than lovers.

The nervous system truth about desire— and why your turn-on isn’t gone, it’s just waiting for safety, space, and softness to return.

How to reignite intimacy without pressure— using simple daily rituals to bring emotional, energetic, and erotic connection back to life.

The new paradigm of midlife love— where you don’t “go back” to how things were, but create a deeper, sexier, more soul-aligned relationship for who you are now.

The Real Truth About Feeling Sexy in Midlife, And How To Do It

With Amanda Testa

🎙️ Episode 333: The Real Truth About Feeling Sexy in Midlife, And How To Do It

Let’s be honest—midlife can be messy.

Our bodies change. Our roles shift. Some days I feel amazing. Other days? I’m tired, snappy, and wondering what even is my purpose right now.

In this week’s solo episode, I’m sharing what it’s really like behind the scenes for me—navigating mood swings, parenting challenges, body image wobbles, and moments of total disconnection. I talk about the things I do to reconnect to my sensuality and power, even when I don’t feel like I have it together.

Here’s a taste of what I cover:

✨ How I ride the waves of hormonal shifts and energy dips

✨ My go-to reset when I’m spiraling with negative self-talk

✨ What it means to enter “second spring” and why grief is part of the journey

✨ The small pleasures and rituals that bring me back home to myself

✨ Why a little community, a little music, and a lot of grace go a long way

You don’t need to be perfect to feel powerful. You don’t need to look a certain way to feel sexy. You just need to give yourself permission to feel, to rest, and to remember that you matter.

I’m right there with you.

Do you ever feel like you have it all together—until life throws a curveball and suddenly, an unexpected part of you takes over?

✨ How naming her inner parts (hello, Brandi!) gave her a whole new way to navigate relationships and self-growth

✨ Why so many women feel like they’re “playing small” in relationships and how to break free

✨ The connection between movement, yoga, and healing emotional wounds

✨ The role of meditation in processing emotions, building self-trust, and releasing deep-rooted trauma
