In this episode, I meet Annie Auerbach for the second time since the first publication of Flex in 2019. 

To mark this year's publication of Flex in paperback Annie has added an extra chapter, Flex in Flux to deal with the assumption that working from home during a pandemic is Flex. It is not. Flex at its best is an ideology for a more inclusive future and better quality of life for everyone. 

Please join us we discuss, 

• The aspiration of Flex and what it really means as a template for a better life.
• How the gender roles have played out during lockdown and the effect of Covid on women’s progress it the workplace.
• Our mutual passion for Menstrual Cycle Syncing and how it opens up a new relationship for women and their bodies, the role it plays in Flex and how it could lead to a new era of workplace management and working.
• Girls and their periods. The Period Fairy, Period Parties and girls and the long term benefits of young girls and their participation in sport, not being thwarted by their periods. 
• Why self-care is so much more than a bath bomb and a glass of wine.
• Uncoupling productivity from success.
• Finding ourselves in a ‘plastic moment’ - a portal between the old world and the new world and how reinventing our attitude to Flex will lead to a happier life.

In this episode, I chat to Tracey Cox, author, psychologist and TV personality about sex and how to adapt to the changes as we age. Fifty-plus looks nothing like it used to. Many of us I hit half a century with little sign of slowing down, but like it or not, something happens to us sexually post 50. 

Please join us as we discuss:-

• Tracey’s realisation and surprise that her full and active sex life was suddenly being affected by her menopause - she didn’t think it would happen to her. 
• Busting the myth that women have a lower libido than men, wrong, they just get bored with sex. The majority of women say ‘no’ to sex because they are bored with having the same sex! 
• Spontaneous arousal is down to our hormones, as they deplete we lose that spontaneity so we need to take responsibility for our own arousal and do the job our hormones used to do.
• Penetration and erection problems. Why an older vagina works well with an older penis.
• How women deal with their sexual issues as they age but how men struggle so much when they start to lose their erections.
• Communication, communication, communication.
• Being 50 and single and the untold benefits of meeting someone later in life.
•  Recognising when a relationship is just not working and when to walk away.
• The best is yet to come.
