The Coital Imperative
In episode 2, Sarah discusses how the coital imperative can negatively influence heterosexual relationships when women experience low libido. Sarah explains what the coital imperative means and uses author, Emily Nagoski's interpretation of how sexual desire can be different for everyone and societal beliefs have made us feel that if we do not initiate sexual spontaneity, something must be wrong with us.
This is a must listen to episode for women who are feeling inadequate and shamed if they are experiencing low libido in a heterosexual relationship.

Menopause in Different Cultures
In episode 1, Sarah Chopra shares her research findings on the menopausal experience in different cultures using the bio-psycho-social model. Women are living longer, staying in the workforce longer, and will spend up to 30-40 years of their life in either the menopausal transition and postmenopause. In 2030, there will be 1.2 billion people experiencing perimenopause and menopausal symptoms. Some countries are recognising this growing demographic and establishing government policies to support women during this phase of their life.
