Summary

In this episode of The goop Podcast, Gwyneth sits down with her longtime friend and teacher Michaela Boehm to explore the female relationship to intimacy—how it shifts as we age, and what it really takes to stay connected to ourselves and our partners as we move through the complexities of work, motherhood, and self-discovery. Michaela, a gifted embodiment and relationship expert, shares why intimacy is an ongoing practice, the power of play, and how honest communication is essential to keeping connection alive. It’s a conversation about feeling more alive as we age—and how reclaiming our sensuality can unlock a more vibrant, connected version of ourselves.
