What happens when the spark fades — and does it have to? Award-winning psychologist, sex therapist, and author Dr. Cheryl Fraser has spent her career answering that question. As the creator of the Become Passion Online Immersion Couples Program and the host of the Sex, Love and Elephants podcast, she has helped thousands of couples break free from the slow drift into routine, reignite desire, and build passionate relationships that last a lifetime.

In this episode, Dr. Cheryl Fraser joins Sarah to share her signature Passion Triangle framework — three interconnected keys to lasting intimacy — and to have an honest, eye-opening conversation about what really happens to desire, pleasure, and connection as we age. From the surprising truth about sexless relationships to the science of spontaneous vs. responsive desire, from the physical realities of menopause to the transformative power of mindful touch and tantric sexuality, this conversation leaves nothing on the table.

Whether you've been partnered for decades or are navigating intimacy on your own terms, Dr. Cheryl's message is clear: your sensual life is your life force — and it's worth fighting for at every age.
