The Truth About Long-Term Sexual Sustainability | EcoPreneur's Edge
Tue Feb 03 2026
What if your low libido isn’t “just aging”—but hormones, medication, stress, or emotional disconnect?
In this Sexual Sustainability episode of the What the Nell!? Podcast, the EcoPreneur's Edge edition, Nell and Mikee have an unfiltered, deeply human conversation about consent, medication side effects, emotional connection, ethical non-monogamy, and what it really takes to keep desire alive over decades—not just seasons.
We explore how libido changes across decades, how birth control and preventative medications can silently impact mental health and desire, and why emotional trust may matter more than frequency. From navigating hormones in your 30s and 40s to redefining intimacy, consent, and connection, this episode reframes sexuality as part of whole-life wellness—physical, emotional, and relational. Whether you’re single, partnered, child-free, monogamous, or exploring new dynamics, this conversation offers clarity without shame and honesty without hype.
**This episode includes candid discussion of mental health experiences, including intrusive or distressing thoughts that may feel alarming or overwhelming. While these conversations are shared to reduce stigma and increase awareness, they may be triggering for some listeners. If you experience thoughts about harming yourself or feel unsafe at any point, please pause the episode and reach out for immediate support. You deserve help, and support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you are outside the U.S., please contact your local emergency number or a trusted mental health professional. Listening to this episode is not a substitute for professional care, and seeking help is a sign of strength—not failure.**
