258: If You Feel Uninspired, Numb, or “Blah” About Life—Listen to This
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from joy, pleasure, or that electric sense of being lit up by life, this episode is for you. Josie redefines libido beyond the narrow lens of sex drive and hormones, and reclaims it as what it really is: your vital life force. From ancient spiritual wisdom to modern science, this episode unpacks how libido is a reflection of your energy, creativity, inspiration, and connection to self—and why so many women feel numb, burnt out, or “blah” in a world that teaches us to suppress it. Josie shares her personal story of feeling completely shut down and how her entire perspective on libido shifted. You'll learn: Why libido is a vital sign—not just sex drive; cultural and spiritual reasons we’ve been taught to suppress pleasure; the surprising role of creativity, meditation, and nervous system safety in reigniting libido; and what it really means to live from your life force again. If you’ve ever wondered where your spark went, this episode will help you find it.
