Unmuted: The Midlife Roundtable

Unmuted – The Midlife Roundtable is a women’s health and sexual wellness podcast for women 40+ (and the people who love them), created to bring honest, informed conversations about midlife out of the shadows and into the open.

Hosted by Serena Haines, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Sexologist, and Intimacy Coach, alongside her trusted co-hosts of women’s health and sexual health experts, Unmuted explores everything that’s often whispered—but rarely explained—around perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, sexual desire, libido, vaginal dryness (GSM), pelvic health, HRT (hormone replacement therapy), mental health, body image, relationships, neurodivergence, intimacy, and midlife confidence.

With a balance of science, lived experience, humour, and zero shame, each episode empowers women to better understand their bodies, advocate for their health, and reconnect with pleasure, intimacy, and themselves at every stage of menopause.

• Serena Haines — Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Sexologist & Intimacy Coach
