About this listen

What if it were possible to have the best sex of your life at 40 or even 70?

With more than 20 years of experience as a highly regarded physician and founder of the largest all-female-staffed OB/GYN practice in the nation, Dr. Susan Hartwick-Smith, also known as Dr. Susan, presents Sexually Woke, a surprisingly frank and thought-provoking look at midlife sexuality. This optimistic new perspective is based not only on wisdom gained from sharing intimate stories with thousands of patients, but also on her own very candid journey as a menopausal woman navigating life post-divorce.

Through a unique and comprehensive research study and subsequent interviews, Dr. Susan outlines the misconception and conditioning around our attitudes to mature sex and shares the intimate secrets of a cohort of women who have discovered the path to a vibrant, deeply connected, and intimated sex life after 40. These women are the mysterious “Sexually Woke”, and their surprising secrets are now available to all of us.

Through her own story, as well as the raw and uncensored interviews with study participants that include the "Sexually Woke", Dr. Susan reframes the second half of life as an open field of possibility in which to play, explore, and finally be your true self. While openly discussing our tremendous struggles - with kids, aging parents, changing careers, divorce, death, abuse, sexual trauma, and personal illness - she teaches us that the wisdom of midlife allows us to look inward in order to recognize the importance of sex in making our lives whole.

A reawakened sex life, an essential step toward living life to its fullest, is no longer the secret knowledge of a few outliers. The path to deep sexual connection and satisfaction in midlife and beyond is available to anyone who is ready to commit and willing to embark on the journey with Dr. Susan and Sexually Woke.

Critic reviews

“What a gift to the world.... An encouraging, readable book about things that matter...the kind of book that can help solve what seems to be an unsolvable problem for anyone struggling with sexuality after menopause.” (Alexis Glynn Latner, author and creative writing teacher, Rice University)

“Dr. Susan has blazed a much-needed trail by tackling topics women face universally: navigating midlife, communicating honestly and openly, dealing with the chatter in our heads, understanding how life events shape us and valuing ourselves for who we are.” (Elizabeth Fordham, founder of The Write Stuff, Inc.)

“This book gives real, shockingly honest, and hope-filled answers to the questions my patients have been asking for years about midlife sexuality and relationships. A must read for women - and their partners - who value deep, intimate connection regardless of age, and for their partners.” (Dr. Sara Jurney, ob-gyn and Super Doctor Award winner)

Crazy

I don’t think the subject of a toddler and grade school girls having orgasms is necessary in this type of book.
