804 | From Taboo to Truth: Navigating Midlife Sexuality with Karen Bigman

In this episode, we speak with Certified Sexuality Educator & Menopause Coach Karen Bigman.  Karen is the dynamic host of "Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations of Sexuality in Midlife." With a passion for empowering women and a wealth of knowledge as a Certified Menopause Coach and & Sexual Health Alliance Certified Sexuality Educator, Karen is on a mission to break down barriers and liberate us to engage in open conversations about sexuality in the later stages of life. Drawing inspiration from her journey of divorce and the transformative realization that one's sex life doesn't end with menopause, Karen launched her podcast to share what is often thought about yet rarely spoken about. Through candid and often raw discussions, Karen is helping navigate this often-overlooked aspect of midlife, offering education, support, and a platform to embrace sexuality. With her warmth, expertise, and unwavering dedication, Karen Bigman is changing the narrative around midlife sexuality and encouraging us to embrace our desires and passions without reservation. Living by the inspiring philosophy that “60 is the new 60”, Karen has discovered her life’s true passion, illustrating that pursuing one’s passion knows no age limit. Her story is a testament to the power of reinvention and the endless search for what we’re meant to do.
