Talking about vaginas, pelvic floors, and sex after 50 still feels taboo — but it shouldn’t. In this honest and empowering conversation, Kim sits down with Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, the first board-certified female urogynecologist in the U.S. and founder of the International Pause Institute.

Dr. Betsy shares why so many women in perimenopause and post-menopause struggle with vaginal dryness, painful sex, bladder leaks, and infections and why these symptoms are common but not something you have to live with.

From vaginal estrogen to cutting-edge therapies like lasers, red-light, and regenerative treatments, she explains the wide range of options available to restore confidence and intimacy.

They also dive into the gut–brain–vagina connection, the emotional side of sex in midlife, body image, bladder health, hormone confusion, and how stress and sleep impact intimacy. You’ll walk away with practical tips, a dose of laughter, and a reminder that thriving in midlife is possible.


Highlights

  • What a urogynecologist actually does and how Dr. Betsy became the first female board-certified in the field

  • The biggest vaginal and pelvic floor concerns women face in midlife (and why it’s not “just aging”)

  • Why vaginal dryness, UTIs, and painful sex are connected to hormone shifts and the microbiome

  • Options beyond vaginal estrogen: DHEA, testosterone, lasers, red-light therapy, and more

  • Bladder leaks and incontinence: what’s really happening and why kegels alone aren’t enough

  • The gut–brain–vagina connection and how food, stress, and bacteria impact libido and confidence

  • Why stress and sleep directly influence hormones, intimacy, and sex drive

  • The power of body image and confidence in reclaiming sensuality after 50

  • Dr. Betsy’s top 3 midlife health essentials — plus a bonus on protein and strength training

What They Say

Discover What My Clients Are Saying

“You have a unique and special way.”

The most significant thing that changed in my work with you was that my all consuming, soul-killing obsession with food was relieved through gentle healing and integration. I knew in my heart that you really cared about me and had my best interests at heart which helped me to re-connect with my own ability to love and support myself. When that part felt back in balance I think the food piece also re-balanced itself. Another incredible gift you offer is a super well resourced tool box! There was also plenty of deep diving into core wounding and reviewing old stories, all of which you skillfully guided me though and helped me to integrate in order to heal.

Thank you so much for everything.

E. K.

“It seems so simple now!”

Kim taught me to listen to my body. I now can slow down and find out what I really need…which is not always food. I also learned it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I struggled with dieting and then overeating. I have found a happy place where I can just be. She also taught me so much about food, reading labels and how good real food can be. Thank you.

M. B.

“I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me.”


My reason for hiring Kim is different as I already knew how to eat healthy and was already in great shape. I wanted to learn more about digestion and overall gut health which is super important for all aspects of life. She is amazing! Very easy to talk too and she made me feel very comfortable and I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me. She is very nice and definitely very knowledgeable! She was able to help me in every way I needed and then some! Anyone who needs any form of help that she offers because she is top notch and well worth the money and time!Could not be happier with the decision I made to hire her as my coach!

K. C.

“Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives.”

I feel an enthusiasm for embracing routines and habits that encompass not only my body, but spirit and mind. Kim is a beautiful, genuine person who is intuitive and kind.
Her support and positive perspective always turn around my attitude and help me see the favorable aspect to decisions I’ve made in a non-judgemental way.
Access to this type of reassurance is perpetual and brings peace of mind. Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives. Kim has been instrumental in bringing me home to my truest self.
