113 | Finding Safety in Your Body: Robyn Parets on Healing through Nervous System Regulation
For more than 20 years, Robyn Parets lived with chronic illness, anxiety, and a body that always seemed to be fighting something. She saw countless practitioners, tried everything she could find, and kept pushing through — the way high-achieving women do. What she did not understand was that underneath every diagnosis, every symptom, and every exhausting flare was a nervous system that had simply lost its way home. It was not until she discovered nervous system regulation and somatic breathwo...

112 | Menopause, Work & Your Next Chapter with Dr. Arianna Sholes-Douglas
Have you ever found yourself in a meeting, searching for a word that used to come effortlessly, or suddenly losing your train of thought in front of a room full of people? Have you quietly wondered whether you are losing your edge, your confidence, or your ambition — without ever connecting it to what is actually happening in your body? Menopause does not wait until our careers wind down. It arrives right in the middle of them, when women are leading teams, growing businesses, mentoring other...

111 | The Menopause Conversation Every Couple Needs to Have with Sari Cooper
When was the last time you asked yourself what you actually want? For many women, menopause is the first time that question becomes impossible to ignore. The body is changing. Desire is shifting. And relationships that have been running on autopilot for years are suddenly asking to be looked at more honestly. In this episode, Gabriela sits down with Sari Cooper, AASECT-certified sex therapist and founder of the Center for Love and Sex in New York City, for one of the most expansive and shame-...

110 | How Co-Regulation Deepens Intimacy (No Sex Required)
You know the feeling. You have been going since morning — emails, deadlines, the relentless doing. Your nervous system has been in full output mode for hours. And then evening comes, your partner moves in close wanting to connect, and your body just shuts down. Not because you don't love them. Simply because you have nothing left to give. If you have ever thought "I want to want, I just can't get there from here" — this episode is for you. In this solo episode, Gabriella introduces one of the...

109 | The Perimenopause Revolution: What Your Body Is Actually Telling You with Dr. Mariza Snyder
Most women step into perimenopause the same way Gabriela did — in the dark, without language, without a roadmap, and without anyone telling them what was actually happening in their bodies. The anxiety, the brain fog, the rage, the fatigue, the loss of libido — they could feel it all, but they could not make sense of it. Dr. Mariza Snyder felt the same way. Even after 17 years of clinical experience supporting women through this transition. In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, Gabriela s...

107 | Midlife, Sobriety, And Returning To Yourself With Ashley Kelsch
What if the question is not why can't I quit, but what is this doing for me? In this installment of the Return to Her series, Gabriela sits down with Ashley Kelsch, writer, coach, and somatic practitioner who helps midlife women change their relationship with alcohol and reconnect with themselves. Ashley spent a decade running a sexual wellness shop in Austin, where women quietly confided things in dressing rooms they were not sharing with anyone else — and underneath it all was the same thre...

107 | From Survival Mode To Self-Connection: A Nervous System Reset For Midlife Women
Have you ever lain awake at 3am, heart racing, mind running through a list of worries you cannot seem to turn off? Or maybe it is the opposite — you move through your days flat, numb, going through the motions of a life that looks perfectly fine from the outside while feeling strangely absent from it on the inside. Both of those states have a name. And neither of them is a personal failing. In this solo episode, Gabriela shares one of the most foundational concepts in nervous system work — th...
