EP469 - The Cycle Experience: Improving Sexual Pleasure

Author: Dr. Nazanin Moali, Ph.D, Psychology of Sex | Couple Therapy | Sex Education December 16, 2025 Duration: 36:39

Welcome to Episode 469 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am excited to be joined by Laura Federico and Morgan Miller who speak to me about cycle tracking, hormones, and the mind body connection in sexuality and health.

 

In this episode, we discuss what inspired Laura and Morgan to write their book “The Cycle Book” and how their personal and professional experiences shaped their approach. We talk about the profound gaps in education around hormones, menstruating bodies, and sexual health, and how this lack of information often leaves people feeling confused, dismissed, or disconnected from their own bodies.

 

Laura Federico is a psychotherapist and AASECT-certified sex and relationship therapist in private practice, and Morgan Miller is a certified professional midwife, lactation consultant, activist, and birth center founder in private practice.

 

Developed by Laura & Morgan, The Cycle Book helps you find clarity, the right treatment, and real relief, so you can finally feel like yourself again. We’re in the midst of a hormonal health awakening. For too long, those navigating PCOS, perimenopause, endometriosis, PMDD, and other hormonal symptoms have been dismissed and left without real support. The Cycle Book’s effective and trusted approach helps decode your body’s patterns. Rooted in science and beautifully crafted, this 12-month undated workbook blends expert insight with clean, functional design.


In this episode, you will hear:

 

·      What Cycle Tracking Really Means

·      Hormones And The Mind Body Connection

·      Personal Journeys Into Cycle Awareness

·      Endometriosis And Medical Dismissal

·      Tracking Desire And Sexual Arousal

·      Understanding Vaginal Dryness And Lubrication

·      Perimenopause And Hormonal Shifts

·      Tracking What Feels Good Not Just Pain

·      Using Data To Advocate In Healthcare

·      Why Analog Tracking Can Be Powerful
