The Feminine Rebellion: Pleasure, Power + Unapologetic Living for Midlife Women

von Natty Frasca

Website RSS

The podcast for women in their 40s and 50s who are done performing and ready to start living — boldly, unapologetically, and completely on their own terms.
Hosted by Natty Frasca, transformational coach and rebel rouser, this is where midlife women reclaim their feminine power, pleasure, and purpose — and burn down everything that's been keeping them small.
If you've checked all the boxes and still feel like something's missing — you're not broken. You're ready for your rebellion.
Pleasure activism. Feminine power. Embodiment. Raw truth. Unapologetic living. Join us.
