Kate is the co-founder and CEO of Parlor Games, a company born from the intersection of business expertise and functional medicine, with a mission to help women better understand and care for their bodies during and after menopause. Through her work, Kate has supported over a million women in navigating the effects of low estrogen, particularly when it comes to vaginal health, intimacy, and quality of life. Together, Rachel and Kate dive into the realities of hormonal shifts, from dryness and discomfort to incontinence and the profound impact these changes can have on relationships, confidence, and identity. Kate shares powerful stories from women who have suffered in silence, missing intimacy, feeling isolated, and believing these challenges were simply something they had to live with. They also explore the deeper layers of sexuality as a form of expression not just through intimacy with a partner, but through creativity, connection, and self-ownership. Kate speaks to the importance of community, education, and reclaiming agency in a space that has long been overlooked or dismissed.

Ep. 31 - Menopause, Pussy Wisdom & Erotic Rebirth with Dana Pierce & Cate Gaffney

Rachel Wilson welcomes Dana Pierce and Cate Gaffney for an honest, playful, and deeply empowering conversation about menopause, pleasure, sexuality, and what it means to reclaim the power of the feminine body later in life. Dana and Cate are both coaches who guide women in reconnecting with their bodies, breaking through internal limits, and rediscovering pleasure as a powerful tool for transformation. Dana works with women navigating major life transitions and becoming the self-authors of their own lives, while Cate helps women break through internal ceilings using somatic practices, breathwork, and hypnosis to bring pleasure back as a sacred source. Together, Rachel, Dana, and Cate dive into their personal menopause journeys—from perimenopause symptoms and hot flashes to the cultural stigma and lack of education surrounding this major life transition. They explore how menopause can be reframed not as a decline, but as a powerful threshold into deeper self-knowledge, confidence, and erotic awakening. The conversation also moves into topics many women aren’t taught to talk about openly: changing bodies, evolving sexuality, vaginal dryness, discovering new pleasure points, and how intimacy can actually improve with age when women feel empowered to communicate their desires and prioritize their own pleasure. Along the way, they discuss everything from hormone testing and lifestyle shifts to sensual awareness, empty nesting, aging in a youth-obsessed culture, and why choosing pleasure might be one of the most powerful acts of rebellion available to women. This episode is candid, funny, and deeply affirming—a reminder that menopause isn’t the end of a woman’s vitality, but often the beginning of her most liberated and erotic chapter yet.
