Alex Robboy on Desire, Shame, and Reclaiming Pleasure

We talk about self-care, balance, and burnout—but not about sex.

In this honest, funny, and deeply grounded conversation, certified sex therapist Alex Caroline Robboy, founder of The Center for Growth, joins Danielle Davies to talk about desire, shame, and reclaiming pleasure.

With decades of experience helping women and couples navigate intimacy, Alex breaks down what great sex actually means—and why it’s less about performance and more about connection.

Together, they explore the realities of female sexuality, from perimenopause and libido changes to communication, curiosity, and rediscovering joy in your own body.

Together, Danielle and Alex talk about:

💥 The 60/40 rule—and why great sex starts with putting yourself first.

💬 How shame and silence disconnect women from their own bodies.

⚡ Why “chemical sex” isn’t about performance, it’s about connection.

💪 How perimenopause and libido changes affect sex—and why grace matters more than libido.

❤️ Why intentionality, communication, and curiosity are the real keys to pleasure.

If you’ve ever wondered where your desire went—or if it’s even okay to want more—this episode will help you find your way back.
