Episode #12 Beyond Libido: The Secret to Unlocking True Desire

In this raw and revealing conversation, Dr. Anthea Todd is joined by certified sex educator Eleanor Hadley to explore what libido is really telling us.

Whether you've lost your spark, feel stuck in a long-term relationship rut, or are questioning if your desire is “normal,” this episode goes far beyond performance and comparison. Eleanor shares the deeper truth about libido, desire, and how pleasure is an internal signal—not something you have to earn or perform for.

This empowering episode blends science, sensuality, and self-inquiry to offer a new way of understanding your body, your relationships, and your right to feel good.

You’ll Hear About:

• The difference between libido and desire—and why that matters

• Why long-term relationships often shift your desire (and how to reignite it)

• How functional health and hormone changes impact sexual signals

• The role of resentment, boundaries, and safety in sexual connection

• Why it’s not your fault if you “don’t feel like it”—and what to explore instead

• How to map your pleasure (yes, there’s a guide for that)

• Daily rituals to reconnect with sensuality and self-worth

“Your body is designed to experience pleasure. We exist in this world with all these sensory delights. It would be a shame not to indulge in them.”— Eleanor Hadley
