This episode was originally released on May 25th, 2018. When two women in their sixties start losing interest in sex, their sex-starved partners become increasingly frustrated. Both women blame old age for their waning libidos. But is their diminished sex drive because of age or something else? The erotic lives of senior citizens are typically made invisible by our culture, which can lead to confusion and misinformation. Dr. Pepper Schwartz, the love and relationship columnist for AARP, joins the Sugars to dispel certain myths about sex and aging: Do libidos change after menopause? How does the aging body affect the way we feel about sex? Should medical interventions be considered for a declining sex drive? Dr. Schwartz is a professor of sociology at the University of Washington and has written more than 25 books on love and sexuality. She's also an on-air expert for Lifetime TV's “Married at First Sight.” The Sugars Recommend “Our Souls at Night,” by Kent Haruf “Scary Old Sex,” by Arlene Heyman

”It was really sort of a Blitzkrieg assault approach where I wrote many, many scripts and emailed everybody I knew, and entered scripts into screenwriting competitions. “While I was living in New York I paid for a pitch fest in L.A. I flew out there to this event where you had five minutes to pitch different companies, like Lionsgate Motion Pictures. It was like speed dating for screenwriters. Eventually, I got one of my scripts into the hands of The Asylum and that eventually became ‘Born Bad,' which was a made-for Lifetime TV movie. When they told me they liked that script and they wanted me, well, that was amazing!” Jared Cohn is a film/TV director, writer, and producer based in Los Angeles, CA. He has directed over 50 films that have been produced and distributed by major studios and distributed by major studios and production companies such as Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, Syfy, Lifetime, and many more. His new book, 50 Movies Made: Lessons Learned on a Filmmaker's Journey, chronicles his life through the Hollywood trenches and how he achieved his lifelong dream on the other side.

Jeannette is joined by the fabulous Jennifer Grace to discuss her inspiring journey from a vibrant childhood filled with dance to becoming Miami's number one life coach, motivational speaker, and author. Jennifer talks about her unique approach to coaching, emphasising the importance of helping others recognise their own potential while navigating challenges like imposter syndrome. She also reflects on her experiences working with celebrities and female entrepreneurs, highlighting the different dynamics they face. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset is about choosing how to view situations, whether from a limited or growth perspective. Neutralising events allows individuals to detach from emotional responses and choose a more empowering viewpoint. Imposter syndrome affects people across all demographics, regardless of success. Normalising it and helping individuals recognise their achievements can shift their perspective and reduce its impact. It's essential to celebrate milestones and successes, no matter how small. This practice helps individuals appreciate their journey and prevents them from constantly moving the goalposts without acknowledging their accomplishments. The launch of a hybrid publishing company addresses the challenges authors face in traditional publishing. This model offers a transparent, supportive alternative that allows authors to retain a larger share of their profits while receiving necessary guidance and resources. BEST MOMENTS "I think the first thing I always try to do is normalise imposter syndrome, making people feel like, okay, there's not something wrong with me because I'm feeling this way." "The beauty is we get to choose. Are you going to have a limited mindset or a growth mindset?" "I think part of retreat needs to celebrate and have fun. People take sometimes this work way too seriously." "I had a complete breakdown with my own child... I used all the tools that I had in my tool bag to meditate and journal and have a new vision for him and I."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Fresh off of the Lunar Eclipse in Libra, we must now come face-to-face with Chiron as it conjuncts the Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8th. The nature of Chiron, the wounded healer, in Aries is an incurable pain point that is often associated with feeling unwanted and self-sufficient to a fault. This week, Christopher talks us through what can expect out of Chiron in the midst of this conjunction and how our own wounds will be tested.

It's that time of year— you've now entered the eclipse portal!

“Four years after I left – four long years of being stalked and having my tires slashed – my former husband took the kids one day and disappeared out of country.” That's the beginning of Lizbeth Meredith's years-long nightmare of searching for her two young daughters after her abusive ex-husband kidnapped them and took them to Greece. Living on just $10 an hour at the time, Lizbeth embarks on a $100,000 journey working with a private detective, fighting through a foreign court system, getting arrested, and taking terrifying risks to bring her children home.But this is a story that really begins with Lizbeth's own difficult childhood. In this episode, Lizbeth shares the long road from her own early trauma to surviving domestic abuse, to rescuing her girls and growing a foundation of confidence and self-worth. She now works as a writer, true crime interviewer, probation worker, and child abuse investigator, and uses her voice and her experiences to advocate for victims everywhere.Lizbeth talks honestly about being “a good victim”, staying quiet in hopes that things would get better, and how her childhood contributed to decades of not believing in herself. She wrote about the whole harrowing journey of defying the odds and the expectations in her memoir, Pieces of Me, and in 2022, that book was made into a Lifetime movie, called Stolen by Their Father. In 2023, Lizbeth published her second book, Grounded In Grit, that she describes as “personal development for women weighed down by crises or abuse, finally ready to become their own best advocate”.You don't want to miss this amazing story of transformation and survival.About the ShowThe Breakout is the hit podcast hosted by human resources and change experts Dr. Keri Ohlrich and Kelly Guenther.

I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Susan Lovelle through Facebook. While I got to know her a little during our initial conversation I had no idea of how many great and universally usable life suggestions and observations she would provide us all during our episode that you now get to explore. Susan knew from the age of six years old that she wanted to be a doctor. However, along the way she also discovered ballet and was a professional ballet dancer for nearly 17 years. As Susan explains, any kind of such an activity as ballet takes a toll on the body. Near the end of her ballet career she ended up being in the hospital intensive care unit three times. She then began to realize that something had to change. She remembered her interest in being a doctor and went back to become a physician. After experiencing many rotations she settled on becoming a plastic surgeon. I leave it to her to tell you the whole story. After working in plastic surgery for 20 years she decided she needed to go in a new direction and became a life medicine professional. Dr. Susan covers popular topics that directly affect productivity and well-being, from work-life balance strategies to the significance of self-care. She emphasizes the impact of personalized nutrition, sleep, and hormones on productivity and energy levels, while also offering effective stress reduction techniques to cultivate a more balanced life. Our discussion is quite straight forward, down to earth and full of ideas we all can use. Dr. Susan has quite an engaging persona about her which will, I am certain, draw you in. I hope you enjoy her observations. About the Guest: Dr. Susan Lovelle, a former plastic surgeon, is the Founder of Premiere Wellness and Balanced Performance, offering all-in-one lifestyle health solutions for busy professionals and innovative companies. She specializes in boosting their personal energy, optimizing weight, and balancing hormones to unlock peak performance in every aspect of life.   Dr. Susan covers popular topics that directly affect productivity and well-being, from work-life balance strategies to the significance of self-care.
